How difficult is it to catch a taxi in Napa, California?
I would like to know if it easy/possible to get a taxi cab in Napa, California. A quick internet search brings up Yellow Cab of Napa Valley.
But I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with it. Is it easy to catch a ride/get a pickup (I just can't visualize how small/big Napa is)? And what prices should I expect for rides within the city or, say, to neighboring Yountville (7mi)?
Best Answer
Do not use Yellow Cab of Napa unless the meter is ON.
Friday night my friend and I needed a taxi ride from Napa Wine train to Marriott in Vallejo. A ride from the hotel to the wine train in a rush hour was $40 on the meter by a Vallejo taxi company. Coming back we were quoted $65 flat rate by Yellow Cab of Napa once we were sitting in the car. We discussed this rate with the driver, but the rate was take it or leave the car.
Scene: Downtown Napa, 10 pm, everybody else from the train already left and we were 2 two women in the dark in an empty parking lot. Of course we were going to agree to any rate at this point!
Not a good way to do business!
