ABOUT US

Why pay more to get where you need to go? And why worry about a taxi meter that just keeps running higher and higher in heavy traffic and at stop lights? There IS an alternative to the big city taxicabs with rude, overbearing, know-it-all drivers and the creepy guys using mom's car advertising on Craigslist offering to take you anywhere for just enough to buy who knows what? We are A CHEAP RIDETM, a professional transportation service that has provided service to thousands of satisfied customers since 2006. 

A CHEAP RIDETM  offers simple, low, flat-rate fares in clean, comfortable vehicles with friendly, professional, and dependable drivers. We offer affordable taxi service in Round Rock, Pflugerville, Wells Branch, & Hutto, as well as out-of-town and airport transportation from Georgetown, Sun City, Weir, Jarrell, Taylor, Jonah, Brushy Creek, Avery Ranch, Cedar Park, Leander, Liberty Hill, Jonestown, Lago Vista, and other surrounding communities. Our drivers are experienced and enjoy providing excellent customer service with a smile and a courteous, helpful attitude. Every driver has a clean driving record, is knowledgeable of the multiple communities we service, and has also undergone a complete criminal background check from the Texas Dept. of Public Safety to assure our customers that we take their safety seriously. Our vehicles are also well-maintained, and continually kept clean for the comfort of each passenger.   

A CHEAP RIDETM understands that your long-overdue, highly-anticipated vacation, or even your much-dreaded, routine business trip begins with your ride to the airport. You shouldn’t have to worry whether the taxi will show up on time, or if the ride will be a hassle and create even more anxiety. A CHEAP RIDETM is not only more affordable, but also more dependable and knows that getting you to the airport or your other destination on time is the most important part of our job. We are customers too, and believe that we should deliver the type of friendly, reliable service, that we expect from those with which we do business.

A CHEAP RIDETM is competitively priced with even the national, "shared-ride", mega-shuttle services, but we provide exclusive, private service from your driveway to curbside at the airport for simarly low prices WITHOUT requiring you to be ready hours early in order to pick up others along the way. You and your family, or friends, or associates are our only customers, and our clean, comfortable, roomy vehicles will be there when YOU want us to be there. We constantly strive for simple, affordable, friendly, dependable, and convenient service for each and every customer.......every time.
