What Is A Stop?

A stop is an additional fee that is added to your fare when you make a stop along the way on your trip. So lets take a minute to explain what a stop is. A $1 stop is a stop along the way from the point to where we picked you up, to where we drop you off. An example: if we picked you up at Empire McKay's and you wanted to go to Bay Area Hospital, that's a $7 fare, but you wanted to stop at 7-11 in Empire. That would a stop on the way, so it would be an extra dollar for the stop, $8 all together.

Then we have our extended stops that is a $3 addition to your fare. An extended stop is a stop that is out of the way, that is under 5 blocks, which is equal to 1/2 a mile. An example of that: if you get picked up at Coos Bay McDonald's and wanted to go to Walmart, but you wanted to make a stop at Basset-Hyland Chevron in Bunker Hill, that would be considered an extended stop. So that is a $7 ride with a $3 extended stop, for $10 altogether.

And then anything beyond the 5 block or 1/2 a mile distance from your point of origin to your final destination is a "round trip" charge, which an additional $7 fee on your fare. An example: if you were picked up at the Mill Casino, and wanted to go to Goony's Sports Bar, but you wanted to make a stop at the Silver Dollar Tavern. Well, that is more than 5 blocks out of the way, so it considered a "round trip." That would $7 for going from the Mill to Goony's, plus an addition of $7 for stopping at the Silver Dollar. Altogether, that is a $14 fare.

Also, if there is a stop at a store of at your home, the cab driver is going to have to wait for you. We have to mention a Wait Time. At a stop anywhere, the first 3 minutes are included in the additional charge. Anything over that is a $1 for every 2 minutes the cab driver has to sit.

If you make a couple stops, the same applies as above. But if you were going to have more stops that is going to add up to more than $15, ask about our charter rates. Charter only applies when your time with the cab driver is going to be 30 minutes. Charter rates are $30 an hour. So $15 minutes for half an hour.

If you happen to have any questions, feel free to ask a cab driver when you're in the cab with him. Or call Yellow Cab anytime at (541) 267-3111 or toll free at 1-866-877-3111

Thank You

I would like to take this time to thank everyone who has taken the time to view our blog. We are hoping to do a few more things with this blog.

Also planning on keeping an archive and biographies of the drivers and posting the on our website, Yellowcabcoosbay.com.
