Yes. Ride Taxi is a taxi service overseen by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC), operating under Authority #55868. Because we are governed by the PUC, we must adhere to strict standards, including frequent vehicle inspections; driver background checks through the FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation; and many other requirements.
As a PUC-regulated taxi company, our rates are set at a consistent rate per mile, and we never, ever have surge pricing. This means day or night; holiday weekend or regular ole’ Monday; post-bar crawl or post-ski day; we charge the same amount per mile. Currently, our rates are $3.50 per mile, and $3.45 for the first 1/10th of a mile. We are proud to be the most affordable taxi in the Vail Valley, and strive to be the most reliable on-call and on-demand service, to boot!
