MacLure's Cabs

What's that saying? If it wasn't for bad luck

On May 28th at around 7pm I took a MacLure cab from the airportto 14th at Burrard St. I am visibly crippled (74 year old female) using a cane. The driver double parked in front of my building, put my suitcase on the street behind his trunk, then drove away. Yes, I had already tipped him.

I took a short ride from YVR to my home. I stayed quiet in the cab and the driver suddenly mentioned that he takes cash. I told him that unfortunately, I don't carry cash. After that, he checked his phone frequently while he was driving. It started to rain hard on the way so I asked him whether he can close his fully open front windows slightly. He pretended that he didn't hear me so I had to knock the transparent barrier between the driver and passenger and say the same thing three times while I got rain on my face through the gap. I don't think this type of customer service should be allowed and it is a shame that other visitors may face poor customer service in Vancouver.

Cab came within 10 minutes, fare was just $9 and driver was friendly. Uber was showing a 30 minute wait to Granville island so decided to call these guys. Very glad I did!

We were coming back from Maui and were exhausted and had a difficult toddler. With all of our luggage we were unable to fit in a standard tCan and with our luck, with we’re picked up from Raja with night car m75 with his wheel chair accessible van. The van was clean and we found him to be polite, understanding and extremely helpful. You can easily see he takes great pride in his job. We also enjoyed the flat rate fee from the airport to our hotel so there was no surprise. He also made sure to help us unload the luggage around midnight when we were dropped off. Thank you!

I did not take a ride with MacLure's Cabs but was driving next to one today. The driver of M63 cut in front of me causing me to do a harsh brake then middle fingered from the window. If he can't wait for buses pulling over then don't try to be quick and drive in their lane.

My personal favourite cab. Super easy to get. They’re really fast, and I’ve not had an bad experience yet. I first heard about them from a neighbour that worked there, so catching a cab was always quite easy for me :P Sadly he’s passed, so now I have to call them or go online to reserve a cab like everyone else. Luckily they’re head office is near me, so it’s also another perk. Drivers are pretty good. Not crazy like other taxi companies. And these guys have been around for a long time. They even drive over the boarder! *of course the cost is high, but for people that want to catch planes in the states, it could be cheaper to get a taxi to the airport in Seattle, then to pay more to fly out of Vancouver. Something to think about. In any case. Give them a shot!

Taxi was sent in lieu of Handy Dart yesterday for my 90 year old grandmother. McClures is paid by HandyDart. When my grandma got in the car, the driver said my boss told me to tell you that you have to tip me 10 dollars". This is exploitative and it is surprising to hear that your taxi drivers support trying to rip off vulnerable seniors for a quick buck. Shame on you

Ordered my cab late Saturday evening, expecting a long wait. It arrived within minutes, a clean car with a pleasant driver who took the fastest way home. Very pleasant!
