The thing people must remember about cab drivers is they are all private contractors. The experience you get from a driver is going to depend on the professionalism and character of that driver. Get a card! Know a driver! Confirm your trip and leave accurate contact information! Pick up disappointments will be eliminated if you can call a driver directly and know them by name. I can say this about Yellow-Checker: all their cabs are newer models and come with all required security equipment to ensure their clients a safe ride with the convenience of credit card payments, posted rates and full compliance with all NOLA Taxi laws. Yellow-Checker-Carriage cabs are leading in costumer service based technologies with the Taxi Cab App that will bring a car with a permitted, tested knowledgeable and certified driver to you ready and warmed up in minutes. It works much like other ride share apps only your request is sent to as many Taxi Drivers as are out there at any given moment.
