Whittlesea Blue Cab

Got into cab at Venetian to go to airport. Cabbie immediately starts yapping in a thick NY/NJ accent that he knows all the history of Vegas and that he is available to do tours all over on his off time - even gives us his business card for it. Constantly asking us trivia questions while driving (and not all his answers were correct either!) - then he turns and heads for the Freeway! This jerk added almost $15 to what the fare SHOULD have been by long hauling us. The freeway is NEVER the shortest distance between the airport and the strip. Long hauling is not allowed by the Taxi authority. We have filed a complaint. If it happens to you too, copy driver's name, cab company name, & cab # from the card posted on the front dash. Make sure you file a complaint - the LV Taxi Authority will pull his license if enough people complain."Thanks a lot for a sour end to a nice holiday"

On an important flight out of McCarren Airport in Las Vegas, NV, we used Whittlesea Taxi as they were very friendly over the phone. The cab driver was late to pick us up - and when we left the house there was already an OVER $3.00 charge on his meter. At the airport the driver was confused and had to make an extra sweep of the airport and then, again, got confused. We finally arrived in good shape - but it cost over $50. And some of that "time and expense" were his mistakes. Didn't appreciate that and won't use Whittlesea again.

Come on be Fair - there is good n bad with all employees Regardless, My father who was diagnosed with Cancer 6 months ago. My siblings and I live out of town!!- My Dad has a strong Pride and will not depend on anyone he uses the Cab Service for transportation because to weak and whoozy to drive, My Dad told me of this man who was his cab driver - Dad said it was the worse he had ever felt - he said the nurse called the service 10 min before he was completed in treatment - the nurse had wheeled him out and cab was waiting on him ... Yes this to be true, he said when he went to stand up he almost fell over and the cab driver was watching came from his car and said hold on sir I will help you - he said the man took him under his arm and guided him to the car and he said everything was spinning and the cab driver even helped him get in the car and lifted his legs in since it was like a Ford Escape or something - He suggested that I lay down and offered his overcoat for him to lay his head ...

Do not ever use this cab company. They never show up, the drivers do not know the city, and their dispatch was extremely rude. I've lived in Las Vegas for over 6 years and this cab company should be avoided at all costs.

we got taken for a ride in every sense of the word by this company. they do not take the fastest route to the airport and when i mentioned this was told that "I am taking the fastest route honey". funny...it cost me $8.00 more for their "fastest " route. I am going to launch a complaint against this company to the powers that be in Vegas because this is NOT ok!

First need for a cab in Vegas led me to this company. Called at 6am, was in cab by 6:20am, and was to my destination (airport) by 7am. Driver was courteous, helpful, and an excellent conversationalist. Dispatcher was pleasant, helpful, and we had no problem communicating. Price was on target, driver knew how to get around traffic and the cab was clean. Couldn't really ask for a better experience.

Welp! I actually wanted to respond to the negative rating. I am on Tuesday going to apply for a position with Whittlesea and I am a white female who speaks very good english and avoid the strip as best I can. So if they hire me, I'll make sure you don't wait :)

I left my cell phone in a Whittlesea taxi. My daughter-in-law called my phone and he answered. He told her to tell me to call my phone and he would keep it with him until his shift ended. I did not realize it was gone until after that time. We took another Whittlesea cab to their office where I retrieved my phone because of an honest driver. The driver who took us to get the phone waited. Both of them were very pleasant and good drivers. Highly recommend Whittlesea.

The last 3 times I've tried Whittlesea, I ended up waiting around for over an hour, before giving up on them and calling another cab company! Most of their drivers speak little English and do not know the rest of the city, so they are afraid to leave the Strip area. If you need a cab off the strip, don't bother calling. They will never come, or you will wait over 2 hours to hear back from them.
