My name is Charley and I currently run Yellow Cab here in Pocatello. Let me give you some info about the taxi market you may not know. First our city does not require taxis to carry insurance that covers the customers. (you can request all Insurance info from the police records department) Only the main company is required to even have a business licence. (Independent drivers who contract with another company are not required to) Drivers are required to have a taxi driving licence from the city but since the city does not check there are some that do not. The city does not require taxi drivers to use hands free cell phones. They do require them to me marked smoking or no smoking but refuse to ticket anyone smoking in a nonsmoking cab. (Yellow Cab has the right to fine you $400.00 for smoking inside a cab.) Rates are not limited by the city. some have been charged up to $75 for a ride from the airport to their hotel while we only charge a flat rate. The city has been put on notice about the insurance issues and has refused to correct the laws. (Its been over 5 yrs now and they still have not done anything, this issue made the front page of the paper 3 times and still nothing.
Please call around and ask those in our community before choosing a cab. If its a major holiday call us and ask about our free rides program to help keep DUI's down (We have gotten it down to ZER0 on a few major holidays). May God bless you with safe journeys.
