Better Communication & Better Service
Yellow Cab of Prince William County is a 4th generation family owned business; We have seen many changes over the years. Over the past 4 decades we have worked diligently to stay up to date with today's technology. We pride ourselves on using state of the art technology to run our business in every aspect from receiving phone calls, dispatching cabs, to meeting the needs of the community.

Technology has made requesting a cab so much easier. We take requests by phone, text, internet reservations and our Smart Phone booking applications.

Our phone system allows customers to book by speaking with an operator or by using IVR. Our customers can even speak directly to the driver. Our phone system will accept your call and by pressing “2” on your phone keypad, your will be transferred to your driver's cell phone while maintaining your privacy. The driver will only see our number. The driver will perform a “call out” shortly after they receive your call or when they arrive to pick you up. Again, these calls will go through our phone server maintaining privacy for the driver too. Customers will receive our number on their caller id. All of these calls are recorded for quality assurance and training purposes.

If you are a repeat customer, our system will offer you a choice of five typical locations you have traveled to or from. This will allow you to speed up the reservation process and book your cab without waiting on hold!
