2006-02-09 18:49:29   Village Cab is amazing! I was running completely late for my train out of town for the weekend and I was freaking out. I called several other cab companies, and none of them could pick me up or take a credit card, and Village Cab completely saved me. Even though the driver was already taking people down to the train station during peak Davis traffic, he came all the way back and got me to the train station just in time for me to get on my train. Without him, I would've missed my train and completely thrown off all my plans. From now on, Village Cab will be the first taxi service I call, every time! —HannahReff

2006-06-19 01:53:32   Village Cab is awesome! Like Hannah, I was also running late. I had to catch the plane in an hour, and I just missed the bus because of heavy luggage. I told Village Cab it was an emergency and the driver got here in record time. He helped carry my luggage and got to the terminal as soon as possible. If it weren't for Village Cab I would need to find an inn to stay. If anyone asks, I will most definitely recommend Village Cab. Thanks for the great service! —WengFF

2007-02-23 12:25:15   YEAH VILLAGE CABS!!!!! (if hear that shouted out when you see a village cab, thats me) I know the folks there, they run a good ship. —StevenDaubert

2007-11-01 04:31:00   Thank You SOOOOO much Village Cab patrons! Your great costumes & festive spirit made the night really fun! We enjoyed serving you during Halloween 2007 ! Your patience and understanding through the busier times made our night. See you next Halloween ! —DavidPlacencia

It is customary when presenting a ten dollar bill to pay for a ride (that's for less than the ten dollars) to say how much you would like back as change - Usually as you are handing the bill to the driver. However, sometimes communication gets crossed, missed, or not sent or received at all. It is unfortunate, EDA, that the exchange with the driver didn't go smoothly. Village Cab does thank you for your openness and your frankness. We also appreciate you calling our taxi service and hope we can meet your transportation needs in the future. —DavidPlacencia

• It is customary for the driver to return the change to the customer unless instructed otherwise. This was not a case of poor communication, it was a case of the driver acting very poorly. The driver should be instructed on how to correctly conduct a transaction. marty
  

• Are you at all familiar with a process called "tipping"? As in waiters, pizza delivery people, and taxi drivers customarily recieve tips. If you overpay slightly and do not request change, it is reasonable for a taxi driver to assume you are providing a small gratuity. —JodyNorthup

2008-05-22 15:10:44   ...It seems what 'eda' and 'marty' are hitting on falls within the subject of driver etiquette. Yes, it is fair to say that in a transaction of this kind change should be presented to the payer as swiftly as possible to avoid the appearance of dishonesty. I would ask if 'marty' was actually there when this exchange took place, and if not, why so harsh a judgment? Is it at all possible there was a simple misunderstanding? How do you know the driver acted 'very poorly?'...I definitely agree that absolutely noone should ever be short-changed. But I also believe you can short-change someone's credibility by assigning pre-mature judgement when they their performance falls short in an isolated instance. I stand firmly behind the honesty of Village Cab drivers as well as for the fairness and kindness of those thousands of customers we have served and hope to serve. We will make every effort to insure all of our patrons are served as safely and in as timely a manner as is expected. Please feel free to ask for me, David Placencia, if there is ever a comment of praise or comment of instruction or advice you would like to give. You can reach me at 530.756.8294 or 530.753.8294. I will personally work to address any question of honesty or integrity that arises. It helps sometimes to first air these points out person to person rather than on an open stage; there can be details about an exchange that go unrevealed when there is no room allowed for personal dialog and understanding. Eda, we are sorry that your change was not given before you asked and we hope you can feel assured that this incident will make us a better business. Thank You again for your openness without which we could not improve.

2008-06-02 17:51:04   Village Cab is the best! I have always had amazing service with very courteous drivers- I will continue to use you and recommend you guy's to all my friends- p.s. I usually tell them (the driver) to keep the change - especially on a short ride :) —marabella

2008-08-27 12:02:40   I've been calling Village Cab for three years and they've always been prompt, professional and helpful. They have taken me to work, to run errands, to Sac, the airport, to the doctor, to the vet, to Dixon, Woodland, etc. They know the area inside out, the rates are fair, and it's comforting to know they are metered and insured (I ASKED!). —missfoyle

2009-02-24 01:52:16   In the past two weeks, I called Village Cab twice and asked them to pick-up a family member in a nearby town and take that person to another area town. Both times they were very courteous and understanding of the situation; I was called when they picked up the person and again when they arrived at the destination. I live over 150 miles away and was able to use my credit card for the fare. Village Cab is the best and I certainly recommend them to anyone who wants superior service in and around Davis. Thank you Village Cab for your kindness.

2009-06-05 09:53:00   I've been calling Village Cab for almost a year now, and they've never failed me once. From reservations to last-minute rides they've always been extremely reliable, helpful, and courteous. What's more, their excellent service remains consistent among the several drivers that they have. Village Cab definite gets my vote for the best cab service in town, and I'll be recommending it to anyone who asks about it in the future. —AnthonyLam
