Radio Cab Portland Reviews

I used RadioCabPortland the way I use other drive-hailing apps, to schedule a pickup hours in advance of my departure time. I didn’t want to risk looking for a ride at the last minute so thought a several-hour advance booking would ensure a timely pickup. After twenty minutes passed (could’ve called sooner of course but wanted to be gracious and had built in a buffer anyway) I finally contacted the help line. Dispatch said yes, they saw my ride had been booked and confirmed but they were still waiting on a driver to accept the ride. I didn’t know what this meant, as when a ride is confirmed on other apps it means someone is coming (and if not, they let you know). I asked how long I might need to keep waiting, he said he had no idea. He asked if I wanted to cancel the ride, and I had to so I could toggle over to Lyft or Uber to see if I could make my appointment in time. The fact that a “confirmation” means only that they’ve received your request but does not guarantee a pickup should be make abundantly clear. It’s absolutely useless otherwise. Sat out on the sidewalk waiting naively for twenty minutes and might’ve been there all day had I not called. Developers, please make the person aware of this fact so they can have a backup plan. I missed my appointment, it turns out, because of this flaw. Not a great day for me.

I set up an account with them and want to close it now and they tell me they don’t have my information, even though I’m in RadioCabPortland look at settings. It says contact us to delete your account. Also there is no way of doing multiple stops unless you call them, why would I want RadioCabPortland if I have to call them anyways. Last, the person I was talking very rude & unprofessional. I will never recommend this company to anyone.

Great company but after a ride I received roughly thirty push notifications asking me to rate the company so here you go. You wanted this one star super bad

RadioCabPortland wouldn’t take my apple pay or credit card to prebook (these methods work everywhere else)and it keeps changing my pickup location. Spent way too much time trying to book a ride and had call them old-school style.

Worst app ever better to use Lyft

No one called or texted to notified me that the cab I reserved for 5 am was delayed. When I called to check on the status of my ride the operator said it was 10-15 min behind schedule. 15 min go by and still no cab. So I call again. The operator says the cab is still 10-15 min out. He offered no apology and didn’t try and find me a closer cab. We were able to get a Lyft to the airport but the experience left me quite stressed. The threat of missing a flight is never fun and the company didn’t handle the situation gracefully. I have to wonder what the point of being able to reserve/ schedule a ride if the company doesn’t respect the reservation.

I scheduled a ride home from PDX Airport to home. The actual fare want up $5 beyond what RadioCabPortland had pre-charged (from 33 to 38). What’s the point in giving me the fare amount first, then running the meter and changing the meter fare when the ride arrives? It feels like bait and switch.

Also, Using RadioCab for PDX airport pickup was not a good experience because I watched many other cab companies use the Island 3 Taxi stand which would have been faster than waiting 40 minutes for RadioCab.

I think I’ll continue to use RadioCab for scheduling early morning trips from home to PDX, but never again for leaving the airport.

Hey - there app will force a 15% tip on top of the HUGE cash tip you usually give drivers. So set the “tip” to zero. Otherwise the tips will cost you more than the trip!
Otherwise an excellent experience!

Declines all my credit cards, won’t work with Apple Pay. Please fix this.

Too many reviews talk about RC as a beloved local business vs the evil empire of Lyft and Uber. Yes, RC is more reliable, their drivers are better, and all for a few bucks more. I’ll take RC over Lyft or Uber any day of the week!

But please fix RadioCabPortland . I don’t mind paying in the taxi, but if you’re going to feature Apple Pay and a card scanner and so on, make sure it works.

From booking the ride, RadioCabPortland displayed an arrival time of one minute. It took ten minutes

RadioCabPortland doesn’t allow you to put your whole address in if you have a Unit or Apartment number. And it won’t work with some Debit cards either.

Radio Cab’s app is the local answer to nationwide ride sharing apps. With this addition they are the obvious answer to lyft or uber. I don’t ever see a need to use any other app locally with this system!

With Radio Cab you have a date that beats Uber and Lyft plus it goes directly into the local community that makes Portland an original city. Kind drivers who know the streets with experience. You can’t get that from a corporation.

I always use these guys for rides to PDX. Been burned too many times by Uber or Lyft drivers flaking out when needed to get to the airport. These guys are super reliable and have friendly drivers. The also hire veterans.

Live in city. No longer have a car. Finding Radio Cab very reliable and nice drivers

WOW !! This driver was the fastest ride from across town I have ever ridden on. Not only that but he did not seem to brake the speed limit. He instinctively knew the right way to get in the best flow of the traffic. I was in the back seat and I can get easily car sick. I never even felt a bit queasy. His driving was rock solid. This gentleman is one of the best rides I ever had. Well done!

Radio Cab is the only company to use!!!!
Always great service.

Easy and dependable

Great guy! Lived him so much!

Awesome driver.
