[nabs-l] Getting Drivers?

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

  Hello,
Cab drivers are negotiable? I thought their company was a fixed rate? Or 
were you meaning with tips and whatnot? Also, when Cabs come, do they yell 
at you to let you know they are there? Because There is no way I'm going to 
know a car in front of me is a cab for me unless they say something.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

You can schedule one ride in advance with most cab companies, but what
might be better is to call a cab the first day, then if you like the
driver you get, ask them if they regularly work during that time and
you could get that driver's phone number and make an arrangement for
them to drive you to and from your destination every day for a certain
price that you negotiate with them. If you're in the United States,
you can also go on Craigslist for the town you'll be in and post a job
ad for a driver there.
