Great Value. Great Service!

When you request a Seattle Yellow Cab (SYC), rest assured that your satisfaction is our highest priority. Unlike other apps, we offer reasonable rates without adding surcharges to ensure our prices meet the needs of passengers and drivers alike.

Many people don’t realize that SYC drivers keep 95% (or more) of every fare. Additionally, we take pride in being a fully accessible service, offering wheelchair accessible rides throughout King County at no additional charge.

Cab Experiences

We are proud to offer access to non-medical wheelchair service at the same rate as regular cabs.
