Good cab company in Anchorage?

[cutetrill]

We'll be in Anchorage on a Sunday and the people mover bus systems buses are few and far between on that day for us. Plus I don't want to have to worry about any sort of schedule. So we're looking for a taxi service to get us around town. Which company gets the best reviews as far as promptness?

Anchorage cab companies are an interesting lot.But I always call Yellow Cab. They do a good job and their phone number is easy to remember 907 222 2222.

I've used Yellow cab as well. Prompt? Well, it depends on weather, traffic and your location.

Hmm, just for the heck of it I looked at car rental places and Dollar/Thrifty has a rental place literally a block from our hotel (Super 8), where I can rent a cheap car for the day and a half we need it for $32. That seems kinda worth it to me, especialy seeing as how it's a 3 minute walk to the place..

That does make more sense than using cabs....

That's a good deal. I live 5 miles from the airport (7 stoplights) and it runs between $14.25 and $15 before tip. So, for $32 you'll get a long more for your buck!
