We've used Yellow Cab several times in the past for short trips and always been pleased.
This time with going all the way downtown we called around for estimates. Of the 3 companies I called Saint Charles Yellow Cab was the highest estimate with their fuel surcharge.
We got a ride down with the company that offered us a discount and said no fuel surcharges. When we got there they charged us over $30 more than their estimate and $11 more than the Yellow Cabs estimate. For the return trip when the other company forgot to come back and get us I called 724-1234. Our return trip was .20 more than the estimate they had given us.
With the so called discount and no fuel surcharge it cost more to take the other company than the correct estimate we got from Yellow Cab. We are back to only one phone number in my Cell Phone.

Pros: Quote was within pennies of what they actually charged. Came and got me when other company abandoned me.
Cons: Had a fuel surcharge but was still cheaper.
