Services
Checker was founded in 1975 by Al Enders. It started out as a small fleet of black taxis and is now over 900 vehicles strong. Checker grew to be The Checker Transportation Group which includes Ambassador Limousine Services and Rocky Mountain Auto & Collision Centre. The Checker Transportation Group is still owned by the Enders family.
Over four million trips a year seems like a staggering number, but it's true! Those trips include pets, school age children, date night couples, bike rack trips, and even Edmonton and beyond trips. Now Checker has moved into delivering groceries, pharmacy items, restaurant food, auto parts and almost anything you can think of.
Checker Taxi Butlers, in major hotels, grocery stores and other locations, dispatch a Checker with a touch of a button. Our professionally trained drivers provide a service to assist people who require a wheelchair accessible taxi. Every time you hop into one of our brightly coloured yellow Checkers you are supporting Calgary.
10 bucks 10 bucks 10 bucks! I will tip you so we'll. Thank you for picking me up soooo many times at 39 Ave station after I missed the last train after walking to the station from Ogden. Love your cheeky little service. I was having some difficulties with the app which Layna went above and beyond to help fix.
Simply install the Checker App from your favorite store, complete the one time registration and you are all set. It's easy to use and makes getting a Checker quick and easy. It happens to the best of us. We jump out quickly and forget something important. Our drivers typically inspect the vehicle at shift end for lost items and turn them into our Lost and Found department.

I was at emergency at one of the hospitals, put my phone on silent and left it on the cab seat on the way home. The driver found it and returned it to me about 20 minutes later. It is my life line. The cab number was 838 and I thank this driver so much for his kindness!! So thankful there are still people like this and that they drive for Checker. I have always had good experiences with Checker and this one was exceptional!!

Well this happens too often and this aint acceptable… and I started to take note and will make a list and send a complain to the company and if i must, I will post the details here.
When your drivers accept a booking when i use the app, I am dang lucky if they actually move within 5min.
Last time, a few days ago, my husband booked a cab and after 15min, we cancelled because the driver did NOT move at all. NOT an inch.
Today, in this cold, i was in a bus shelter at Somerset lrt, waiting for a cab that took my booking request… and after 9min of wait since the car(who was 4min away) wasnt moving

It is freezing cold out tonight., I was cold and in pain. The dispatcher told the driver I needed assistants, I found out. THANK YOU! This wonderful young man who picked me up said sit back and relax you will be home soon, are you still cold. He was so pleasant, I thought I was driving with one of my sons. This young man is from India and drove cab701.What an excellent representative for Checker Cabs.

We booked a cab through the app to pick us up after having supper. The cab arrived very quickly and as soon as I received confirmation that the cab was close we stood up to get ready to leave. As we were walking out the door our cab pulled away with someone else in it. It was less than a minute between when we saw the cab pull up and when it left with the other passenger. Luckily a rival company had a cab close so we used that company. Won’t be booking through Checkered again.

Pre-booked Checker Cab pick-up at Stage West after the show. Booking time was 9:40 pm and driver arrived promptly at 9:40 pm! Couldn't ask for better service. Driver was courteous and drove us directly to our hotel nearby. Even though it wasn't long or expensive, the driver remained professional and advised that they service all requests. Well done. Will definitely use Checker next time as we are season ticket holders. I expect to receive the same level of service again, and again.

Checker Cabs have always been there for us when we needed to get somewhere! Whether it be to a gala, a girls night out, a party, to a friends house or in a great time of need like when my car broke down. Checker has always been quick to respond, on time, professional, personable and has always given me a sense of safety. Booking is so streamlined either by using the mobile app or just by picking up the phone to call. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND A BIG THANK YOU!

I've always had good experiences with Checker cab, they've been my go-to for cab services since I first started taking cabs back in the fun, younger days of going out all the time! Most recently I needed a pickup at a set time, the cab showed up 5 minutes before that and had me to my destination in plenty of time. Cab driver was friendly and professional. I will use Checker cabs every time!
