Need a GOOD cab company in Chicago

[lbrown1618]

Not sure where to post this.

I need help!! How do I find a really good cab company in Chicago?

We're in Michigan, my boss' kid is going off to college in Chicago and he wants to create an account for him with a "really good" cab company in case he ever needs it and doesn't have any money. I tried researching reviews & ratings online but everything i find is either 1 review at 100% (which is obviously someone who works for the place) or no reviews.

So does anyone live there that can guide me.

A cab company might be hard (it's not the company that is important - it's the driver) - but a car service might be better! Try International Limo and tell them what you need - they will work with you!!

In my area, I found a cab driver that I really liked (he was a good driver, nice to speak with, not on the phone) I got his cell phone number and whenever I need someone I try him first!

Cab companies are usually specific for the area but Limos will go outside of the area for a better price has been my experience living in the suburbs. I think the one pp mentioned is a good one. I don't recall the ones I have used. Limos may not be the best option though for travel around the city - cabs are the usual there.

Well this is more like for emergency for his son. Not like, take me to the airport on Friday kind of thing.

He didn't come right out and say it, but I'm guessing if his kid gets drunk or his friend ditches him somewhere he can get a ride home. My boss is rich and his baby boy is going off to college in another state. He just wants a backup plan for him to call on.

I read between the lines....

But a car service is likely to be more helpful about an account type thing. Especially as son will not be able to abuse because they will bill you the next morning via an email to both you and Dad or just Dad. At the least you have plan B and it will cost nothing to set this up.

I tried to google for international cab in chicago but can't find a listing. ? do they go by a different name?

website is internationallimo.com and the number is 202-388-6800 (they are out of DC where I am) and they oddly do not have a 800 number. But once you set up you can email them too. HTH.
