I called yesterday with a challenging and unusual situation and the dispatcher (I think her name was Kelly) was patient, kind, and incredibly helpful. Thank you for the great service Kelly and appreciation to the driver who was also understanding of the client who was experiencing some mental distress. You both were wonderful.

I would give 0 stars if I could. The cab driver I had is rude, unprofessional and does not wear a mask. This cab driver should NEVER be in a customer service job. Will never use Modern again. Oh yeah, cab driver 29. Older man with the personality of a cardboard box. Leave your anger at home, not in public!!

Modern taxi is honestly great. Everyone there is so kind, and it doesn't even feel like they're doing it just to get a high tip. The only issue is that they do take a while to arrive, so it's best to call ahead of time to schedule a time for them to be there

  • Summer Rayne

Not sure who the driver was but my husband and I were nearly hit walking in our apartment complex by one of your drives in a burgundy / maroon Chevy car . The older gentleman driving it also failed to stop at the stop sign in the apartment parking lot

  • Non Day

This guy was all over the place. I don't know if he was drunk or on his phone, Cab 121. Went threw a stop sign and almost hit us. I called the company and they barely asked anything about the incident and didn't really see to care much. Cheers

  • Darren M Gaffney

I normally have taken Modern Taxi and up until recently it was my usual taxi service. I called for a pickup one day about 2 weeks ago now, and the driver, who graciously provided his name, Rusty, was beyond disrespectful, rude, ignorant and

  • Wendy Demolder

This company picked our family up from the train station. We got in the DIRTY cab to go downtown. We realized on our ride the back seat was soaked and smelled like urine. I told the driver and his answer was oh well I will have to clean it.

  • Kevin Wells

The other day I was driving to Kingston from Barrie. My vehicle broke down about 40 mins from Kingston. My first call to Modern was the dispatcher telling me that I should call Nappanee Cab rather then Modern because the starting position

  • Seth Chisholm

This company is...Terrible. Called and asked if we could get a cab with a car seat for my 2 yo. The woman who answered said... They aren't required to have hire cabs who carry car seats... I said I didn't think they were required but that

  • Maxine Creery

Waited nearly 40 minutes for a cab with no communication on how much longer it would be and eventually canceled. Understand that wait times can be longer than usual but 40 minutes with no prior warning is unacceptable and a major waste of

  • Ulufer Peynircioglu

We had excellent experience with Modern City Taxi driver Sabrina. She was kind and very helpful. My son and I were in Kingston for a day to handle so many things in different locations in order to settle my son in his new location. She

  • Vicki Clarke

Always punctual, and quick to respond! The drivers are always courteous, and helpful! Cannot say enough great things about this company! They are hard working people taking a lot of risk, during the pandemic, to make sure people get to

  • Blue Bella

Modern seems to be the only Cab Company in Kingston where the drivers OFFER to help with groceries ext. Seems like most Amy”s drivers fall seriously ill or suddenly have a sore foot after they receive a tip . _____(place sarcastic tone

  • Kaitlyn

Almost was hit by one of your drivers in a dark red car while walking home across an intersection that I had the walk signal for. buddy wasn’t even paying attention and was turning at a stupidly high speed considering he had just been

  • Tobias

Mums always went with Modern, so I usually do too. Never had any severe issues over the years besides a few that drove like their foot was taped to the pedal and a couple really late ones. Other than that, its not a bad taxi service.

  • Angela

I got beeped at super aggressively by a modern city taxi that ALMOST HIT ME. I was a pedestrian crossing the road on a green light, the taxi was trying to make a left. In what world does a left turning car have right of way over a

  • Andrew Koeslag

Had the pleasure of following behind cab #759... guy drives like a total lunatic, not a signal in sight and doing 90 in a 50 zone down John Counter and a busted off mirror to cap it off, get it together bud

  • Saurabh Mahajan

Not reliable at all. Have booked the cab in 2 days advance still the driver didn't show up at pick up point nor I got contacted by anyone. I contacted another taxi guy who helped me reaching to Kingston.

  • Joel Rubletz

I booked a taxi for 5:15am the evening prior so that I could catch a bus out of town. The day of the booking, I called the dispatcher at 5:16am, then again at 5:25am because the cab had not arrived.

  • Louise Vallier

Saturday July 9. My Sister, Daughter and myself took cab 67 the cab was absolutely filthy inside and out. He drove absolutely terrible slamming breaks and in the wrong lanes. Sorry it was car #62.

  • Howard Alex Allarie

I have used modern 100's of times with my small service dog and am treated extremely well. Twice (in 7 yrs) there was a rude driver, reported it and moved on. I'm very pleased, pleased indeed.

  • Karina Hernández Pérez

Reliable service, quick pickups, clean vehicles and polite drivers. Some of the app functions could use some fine tuning, but hey, the app works just fine 90% of the time. Would recommend.

  • SEYAHFARMS

Clean cars, somewhat friendly service, waited longer then should, on a non busy day the driver had said. Side note response to modern city taxi. This was not a Sunday it was a Saturday.

  • Tracey Graves

While the dispatcher was amazing, the smoke in the car was not. December, the driver had the windows open, not even asking if it was ok but it was because he obviously smoked in his car.

  • Laurie

They need to update their POS machines on the cab. You are unable to pay with tapping your phone, and I have issues with my card. It was very frustrating. The driver was great though

  • Deepika Rattan

I booked a taxi an hour ago then I want to cancel it and the lady said oh my god ( which I could say was rude and in bad tone) Then I asked to book a taxi again for different timing

  • Inge Vanalebeek

I love the Modern city cab dispatch especially Jay! He goes the extra mile and I am so grateful! The female dispatch is also wonderful just not sure of her name thanks guys and girls

  • Mark Popham

Took cab 140 Christie yesterday morning. She was knowledgeable, efficient and pleasant to ride with. Based on this experience I will use this company the next time I require a cab.

  • Krista Fishes

I take cabs daily to and from work. $25 trips. Booked online and cab finally showed up 30mins after the time that I booked it for! Not even a discount! Don't recommend!

  • Kyle McMahon

If you want to get to your destination safely. Don't take modern taxi especially number 2. Does not stop at red lights even with paying passengers in the vehicle

  • Евгений Несьтеров

I am new in Kingston, but Modern taxi is the best company, I was amazed by the good service, I could talk with Ukrainian taxi driver on a mother land language

  • Plessy Vivian

Can not believe how rude the dispatcher was. Called cab told her there is a wheelchair and going to Hospital. She said oh Great..

  • Greg Colborne

I asked if there was a car available on the west end of Kingston, but a car wasn't assigned to the call for another 30 minutes.

  • K Pat

The person who answered the phone was super rude and attitude filled. Did not follow through with service, would not recommend.

  • Christopher Dusseault

Great response time, quiet friendly driver, I don't like being talkative on the way to hospital, so he was perfect

  • SAE Ones

UPDATED REVIEW. A modern city driver ran a stop sign, resulting my my 5 month pregnant wife

  • Konstantin Osokin

Both taxis were on time. Professional and courteous drivers. Application is easy to use.

  • Amanda Brown

Ordered my taxi for 5pm an hour prior, it’s now 5:18 and I have class in 12mins…sweet.
