Excellent service.
Although there cabs are nothing to look at, the service is as impressive as any cab service that I've took. My cab driver actually took the route that I gave him, and that saved me a couple of bucks, which I gave to the cab driver for getting me a lot faster then I thought it would take. Truly, a great cab company. Although, there cabbies at times will pass you up, even if your in the area. Other then that, they are a very good cab company.

Luxor Cab
I take a cab home from work 5 nights a week, and I always call Luxor. Even though you have to wiat through the long message, I always get someone on the phone, and I have always been picked up in a timely fashion. The drivers are typically friendly and know their way around the city. I would definitely recommend this company.

Racist Luxor Cab driver
On 6/8/2010 blogger, CNN and Chronicle contributor, and CEO of Sports Business Simulations Zennie Abraham was kicked out of Luxor Cab #1046 CA License number 8L46060, when the cab driver slow down to tell him that he thought another guy had called the cab, upon hearing this Zennie said that he did not hear anybody calling or moving towards the cab, the cab driver insisted that another guy wanted the taxi. Zennie said that he probably was upset because he thought the white guy next to him had called the cab and instead a black man got in. When the cab driver heard this he stopped the car and started yelling get out of my cab.

Good service
I was in SF this weekend and used LUXOR Cab company quite a bit. The dispatchers were friendly and the drivers were professional, courteous and easy going. The wait time was anywhere from 5 - 25 minutes on the weekend. I will definitely use LUXOR again on my next trip!

Drivers Don't Wait
Luxor used to have a very good reputation in SF and I used them a lot. However, they have gone way done hill. Last week, I called a cab and when it pulled up outside of my apartment I went to it. However, it had pulled away before I could get outside. I called again and complained. Another cab was sent. It arrived and did the same thing. In addition, I had to wait on hold 10 minutes just to get a dispatcher each time. This service sucks.

Get your cab number
After a trip from the airport to Oakland in a Luxor cab with my 4 year old daughter and several bags the driver of my cab left with my phone in the back seat. I tried to whistle him down as he drove off. I ran inside and dialed my phone several times. No luck. I then began a series of attempts to get Luxor to help identify the cab and driver about whom I'd learned a lot on the trip home, e.g. his birth state, Viet Nam service in the Presidio. I got little help from Luxor. I was told that without a cab number they would do nothing. One operator hung up on me as I asked questions about their dispatch procedures complaining that they had lots of cabs and no time for this. He suggested that I could visit their garage and wait until the driver appeared.

Regarding cell phones
I too lost my phone in a Luxor cab this past Wed. Fortunately I've placed a sticker with my home # on it so a finder can locate me. Once when it was lost the finder reached me at home, offered to take my address and mail to me. This time I wasn't so sure I'd get it back. 24 hours had passed and I had visited the store to purchase a new one but the sales staff couldn't reactive the account. Lucky for me too because when it returened home Luxor had called me at home (48 hour later) but they called. As their buisness office was closed at 3:30 PM on Friday I had to go the weekend without a phone but retreiving it today. I'm just glad I thought ahead and provided an easy way for them to notify me.

The worst customer service!
The dispatcher on the phone was SO rude. First off she told me they were really busy. I told her that I don't have an elevator and I have to get down 5 flights of stairs with my broken leg (to get to the hospital). It was 9:00am and I asked for a taxi at 10:00am, but I wanted to give her a heads up that even though I was starting to take on the stairs at 9:30am that it may take me a few minutes longer to get to the taxi, she yelled, "Oh that's great! I told you we were really busy and you're going to make the taxi wait around! And then she hung up on me! I wouldn't take a luxor cab anywhere ever again if you paid me. Luxor doesn't repect it's customers.

Get me to the church on time!
Luxor is the one I count on when I've GOT to be there sooner than overnight! The drivers are reliable--they won't decide to stand you up in favor of your lowlife neighbor who tries to steal your cab (HA HA YOU WEASEL-HEADED WOULD-BE CAB JUMPER! ) and they'll actually get out to open doors and help with baggage. These folks are the next best thing to having your own chauffeur.

Why bother calling
A few friends and I wanted to go to dinner and drinks on a Friday night. We called Luxor and the dispatcher said "Are you going to tell me where you are or do I have to guess?" I gave my address and asked for an ETA. The dispatcher said 10 min and hung up. 20 min passed and I again called. After being on hold for 10 minutes, I was told it would be 10 min and the dispatcher again hung up. 20 minutes passed and I again called back. I was told they were busy and no cabs were in my area (I live in the center of the city and was going downtown). I cancelled the cab and we drove ourselves, which is what I should have done in the first place. The taxi service in this city is horrible.

NEVER USE LUXOR CAB COMPANY, cab #9042, DONALD ALLEN!!!
The driver, Donald Allen, was most aggressive and has the manners of a PIG! The fare was from SFO to Millbrae and when he opened the back hatch (handicapped ramp), he was happy to toss our heavy luggage to us across the ramp. Hmmm... his manners aside, I said "Thank You," but because of the wind, he may not have heard me. He showed his true passive-aggressive colors when he backed out his van yelling, "You have no f@#$%ing manners!" As I went back outside to address this with him he proceeded to flip me off. WARNING: LUXOR CAB COMPANY OF SAN FRANCISCO - "If this is the quality of people that you hire to represent your company I will ensure all my fellow travelers avoid using your services."

horrible service!
Booked a cab online earlier in the day thru their website for a 7pm pick-up. Was sent a text with a confirmation number. By 7:10pm when they hadn't shown up, I called. Waited 10 min on hold only to be told that there were no cabs available. When I explained to the dispatcher that I booked online in advance and had a confirmation number she said it didn't matter, there were no cabs available and hung up on me!! Will NEVER call them again and will spread the word to one and all not to use them!Worldwide > United States > San Francisco, CA > Taxis and Car Services
