I use this taxi app probably 3-4 times a week for work meetings around town. Last Tuesday I needed to get from downtown to the airport in rush hour - usually that's a nightmare trying to flag down a cab. But I just opened the app, booked my ride, and had a driver there in like 3 minutes. The guy knew exactly where to pick me up, the fare was upfront so no surprises, and we made it to the airport with time to spare.

What Our Riders Say
Read some of our reviews from our most satisfied Universal Taxi customers
I've been using Universal Taxi for my airport runs for about 6 months now. Way better than those rideshare apps - the drivers actually know the suburbs and don't get lost trying to find my house in Elmhurst. Last week my flight got delayed and the driver waited for me without any attitude.

My wife and I use Universal for our doctor appointments since we stopped driving at night. The drivers are always polite, help me with my walker, and never make us feel rushed. Yesterday our regular driver Maria remembered that we like the heat turned up.

Between soccer practice, piano lessons, and everything else, Universal Taxi has been a lifesaver. I can book rides for my teenagers and track where they are through the app. The drivers are professional and my kids feel safe. Plus their rates are way more reasonable than I expected.
