Stagecoach Taxi

The person who answered the phone was nice and so was the driver – that’s not the issue. The issue is that I was quoted $ 44 for a ride (which included a stop for them to pick up my luggage and by the way I did appreciate that) while on the Island, to the ferry. While on the way I asked the driver if it was okay if we stopped and I picked up some sushi to go. He said sure no problem. When we got to the ferry, he said I owed him $ 60 PLUS $ 11 for waiting time. I said but the dispatcher said it would be 44. He called the office and then came back to me with «oh the dispatcher made a mistake.»
The driver should have told me in advance, when I asked if we could stop, that that would be an extra charge. Also, I would not have booked the entire job at all had I known it would be 60. Look, I know the policy is to gauge summer tourists… that’s the season when businesses make all their money on the island… but it’s not right to quote one fare and then demand a different amount when you get to the destination, even if they were nice when I called several times to change the pick-​up time. Plus I think 44 was already a lot – or at least more than fair. I said to the driver I’ll pay 60 and that’s it because I felt backed into a corner. The bottom line is that the people who work for this company were nice and a pleasure to deal with – that would be the dispatcher who I originally spoke to and also the driver, although he should have told me that waiting time would be extra in advance – but the owners should chill on the gauging-​of-​the-​tourists protocol.
Your Island Taxi is much better, more reasonable.

Used this cab company several times during our trip — very happy with service. Cash only — they don’t take credit cards — so prepare for that. Accepting credit cards would be a good move in the future.
Edgartown to the airport was $ 22 for one person.

Easy booking. Arrived 5 minutes early at our location in Chilmark. Helped with bags. Friendly. Drove safely. Would definitely use them next time.

Stagecoach is very reliable when I need them most, usually when I am leaving to catch my ferry home on a Sunday. They show up promptly and generally have courteous drivers.

Great taxi company on the Island. Mike Torcia is the best driver on the Island.
