Review: American Cab Company

Review: American Cab Company

 

When you are vacationing here locally, taking in the sites, and visiting friends and family, sometimes you may have the need to travel with a taxi cab. I have seen and researched my fair share, I mean "fare" share of cab companies. And trust me; there are a lot of them around here. 

 

The one I wish to focus on, which really caught my eye, is American Cab. The name American in itself said something to me, because it is of course- American. As an American, I like to support American's. 

 

 

There colors are red white and blue, and there vehicles are clean and shinny. I noticed that they have vans, (of various sizes) and cars. I witnessed them hauling around groups of people, to and fro, and of course individuals as well. Rarely did I see there vehicles sitting still. So once I finally caught one, I decided to get their rate information, to find that they are in fact- one of the lowest priced companies around.

321-725-2222

That was enough for me, so in order to get more detail, I decided to ask the owner how long they have been around. He informed me since 2003, they have been serving Brevard County, Florida proudly. They have, of course 24 hour dispatched service, and can get you to point A to point B, for a reasonable rate, and in a reasonable time frame. Reservations can be made, in advance too.

It is always best, with any cab company to call and order your cab, at least a half hour in advance, depending how soon you want to get to your destination. Always give yourself time to spare, for traffic, weather, and anything else- just to play it safe. It is also suggested to tip your driver, it is not a requirement, but it is how the drivers fill their gas tanks, with their own tip money. Cab driving is not one of the richest professions, so please reconsider when you are paying your fare to the exact dime. In order to drive a cab, the driver must pay a fee to the company, and do a split with the monies earned. The fee to the cab company, is for car repairs and maintenance.
 
With this company, I found the dispatcher easy to understand, and they repeated everything back to me, to make sure that they had everything right. Within 20 minutes my cab arrived. The driver was quiet, the radio wasn't blaring, and the vehicle was clean inside and out. The driver answered any questions I had, about nice places to eat, with his suggestions, and places to hang out. This is much needed and desired in the tourism business. A person wants and needs input, and if the driver can give it, than this is a big advantage!

Some have told me that cab drivers drive extremely slow, trying to get more out of the meter. I didn't find that to be at all, fact. This driver drove the speed limit, and even opened the door for me to get in and exit, when I was to my destination. I thought that kind of service went out years ago! I was quite pleased, and give this company, a two thumbs up.
