About Nome Checker Cab Inc
Nome Checker Cab Inc. is a local taxi service described as cheap, friendly, and reliable, getting passengers where they need to be. The drivers are generally noted as very courteous, fun, patient, and nice, offering great advice and knowing the town well. The owners are also considered amazing. The service operates like a vanpool in a 15-passenger van, meaning rides are shared, which can cause varied wait times and trip durations, but the company does its best. Typical for Alaskan small towns, the vehicle conditions are not great. The cabs are older, with visible wear including duct tape, hard-to-close doors, ripped seating, cracked windshields, jury-rigged repairs, and dashboard error lights. The drive can be rough. However, most reviewers emphasize ignoring these issues as it is the only choice available and the service remains highly recommended. A significant complaint notes one specific driver, a gentleman in his mid-late 30's, as extremely impatient and rude, contrasting with the otherwise professional and nice staff. Despite the aged fleet and occasional service inconsistency, the overall experience is rated positively as a reliable and necessary local service.

Its a van that has more duct tape than doors and a windshield that has enough cracks to make an ex girlfriend with a bat jealous. Cheap, friendly and gets you where you need to be. 10/10 your only choice. 10/10 would ride again lol

Local taxi drivers are fun. They know the town and they give great advice for new people. Vehicle conditions are not great. Doors are hard to close, seating is ripped up and the drive is rough; but it is Alaska and it isn't always pretty!
