Checker Cab Company

This company saved me a great deal of time. I called ahead and got picked up first thing in the morning from the Amtrak station, and the driver dropped me off in a timely manner. Really clean vehicle and reasonable rates. Would recommend to anyone.

Dude missed picking up my parents from the airport despite having a reservation made well in advance.

Great to have a local cab service, friendly driver, but… they didn’t show for my 6:30am pickup on Monday. Had to call and check the status. Didn’t get picked up til 6:45, which made me miss the 6:50 Amtrak train I really wanted to take.

Friendly, personable, efficient, and affordable. Save their number in your phone right now. Do it.
I rarely take cabs or taxis but when I do, I make note of the good ones and as far as cab companies in the 530 area go, Checker Cab is golden. This family run taxi service based out of Davis will pretty much cart you anywhere within reason, if they’re available. They have a reasonable flat rate airport shuttle service, are willing to come pick up your belligerent drunk self at 3am if you make an appointment ahead of time or if they happen to be awake. They primarily serve the town of Davis, provide airport service, and will trek out to neighboring/​surrounding areas (Woodland, Dixon, Natomas, etc) if they have the time — and they always try their best to make this happen.
As good as it gets, basically. :)

Reliable, prompt, detail oriented and friendly.

I had to add to the 1 review from 2007. We just recently took the Checker Cab because of our super early flight to the east coast. I had called the Davis Airporter and Super Shuttle first to get a price on the ride from Davis to SMF. The shuttles were relatively cheap but unfortunately, they wanted to pick us up 2 hours prior to the time we wanted to get to the airport. The reason for it was because of all the stops they had to make before they get to the airport.
I decided to call Checker Cab and was pleasantly surprised that the trip to the airport wasn’t significantly more than the shuttles. Randy was such a pleasant driver and he arrived at our door at the time we specified. Now I know that Checker Cab is a reliable alternative if I want to get to the airport!

Randy and Hilda run a very professional driving service in Davis. We mostly use them for airport shuttles– flat rate $ 35. Pre arranged pick ups at the airport are a sure thing, They’ll check your flight info and call you to confirm that day.
Alternatively the Davis Airporter shuttle charges $ 35 per person for an airport shuttle and throws in a free tour of residential Davis before or after your trip!
