GBNot dependable Not dependable - scheduled a cab 8 hours in advance to make a flight. 13 minutes after the cab was scheduled to pick me up, I received a text saying there were no cabs available and I would have to reschedule. The app claims you can easily schedule your ride - and it is easy to schedule. Just don't count on them being there as promised. Uber and Lyft have this perfected - Curb is further proof why old-fashioned cabbies are on the way out.

GBThis is an extremely misleading app This is an extremely misleading app. I used Curb for the first time yesterday. When I booked my ride the cost was shown as $19.00 and it’s temporary hold, was put on my card to secure that amount. When I got my receipt at the end of the ride, the final cost was $29.00! The base price was almost $20.42, not $19.00. Then there were taxes and fees, including a $1.00 fee to use the app (an “improvement surcharge”), totaling $4.00. Finally, my 20% tip was based on the final cost, including the $4.00 in taxes and fees, rather than the base cost. So it ended up costing significantly more than I thought it would be. They need to be a lot more transparent in their pricing structure.

CAScam and very poor customer service I booked a cab the night before for… I booked a cab the night before for 4.30 am the next morning for the airport in New Orleans. The driver who picked me up said the platform screen was not working and insisted that I pay him cash. Curb also charged me an additional 38 USD and refuses to refund me after numerous interactions with customer service. Terrible, untrustworthy company. Avoid at all costs.

GBTerrible experience with Curb Terrible experience with Curb. On June 5, 2023 I reserved a cab to drive us from midtown Manhattan to LaGuardia Airport, timely arrival being of the essence. Despite assurances from Curb that the cab would arrive as requested, a cab never showed. No one called; no one sought to contact us about any delay or problem. We were forced, at the last minute, to hail a cab from the street. When I reported the issue to Curb, I received no response beyond the generic claim that they couldn't be responsible for "no shows." I also noticed that I was charged $41 and change on my debit card, which was never reimbursed.

GBTerrible Like others I liked the idea of supporting drivers so tried the app, but I tried it twice and there were no cabs available either time. Plus, the second time the app took about 20 minutes to tell me that, by which time I had decided to walk. The worst part is that they charged my credit card and I am trying to get them to refund me, so far without any luck. Good concept, absolutely terrible execution.
