The Cheapest Cab Companies in Boston, Massachusetts

To help you get to your destination without overriding your budget, I have put together a list of Boston's cheapest cab companies. And I use the word, "cheap" loosely, because cab fares in Boston are not cheap, but you can find a good deal and not get taken for an unpleasant ride. Before you call the others, call these companies first. They answer their phones and act like they want your business.

1. City Cab of Boston
Phone: 617-536-2227

This cab company lives up to its name. I say this because this was the only cab company that picked up the phone on the first ring. But most importantly, the dispatcher really did give me the lowest fare compared to the others listed below. One customer stated that City Cab of Boston was fast and reliable and able to pick him up in 10 minutes.

2. Chill Out First Class Cab
Phone: 617-212-3763

This cab company has competitive rates as well. One satisfied customer stated, "He arrived on time!" Another told of a $20 savings over another cab. When you hear these reviews over and over again, it makes sense to add this cab company to your list.

3. Green Cab Company
Phone: 617-536-2600

The Green Cab Company is very reliable with competitively low rates. One customer who uses this cab service for early morning trips, stated, "Most times they show up a couple of minutes early. I would recommend them to anyone in the area."

4. A Back and Forth Cab Service
Phone: 617-567-2000

This company has very friendly and knowledgeable phone dispatchers. Cab fare rates were the same as most the ones listed here, with the exception of The City of Boston Cab.

Overall, I would recommend to you any of the four cab companies listed above based on their fare rates, reviews and overall customer satisfaction. Many happy cab customers are satisfied because of a combination of impressions made by that cab company. Customers remember how they are treated before the cab ride, during the ride in the cab and while exiting the cab. Therefore, the cab company is a customer service type business. So, when deciding on an "cheap" cab ride, please take this into account: sometimes you get what you pay for.
