Closed and Ceased Operations: Saratoga Taxi Seeks Relief

As of Midnight 10/31/2021…

After 55 years of serving the public, we have temporally ceased operations in Saratoga Springs.

The City of Saratoga Springs will not listen to our need for temporary relief from the burdensome INSURANCE MANDATES imposed. Simple, temporary relief, that’s all we are asking.

Saratoga mandates $300,000 insurance, NYS requires $50,000. (Wilton, Gansevoort, Ballston Spa, Clifton Park, Glens Falls, as well as all rural NYS require $50,000.)

What’s up Saratoga? The cost of $300,000 in coverage is prohibitive. 

Saratoga Taxi successfully operated for over 40 years with NYS Insurance, so what’s the reasoning? – unknown

Our staff and drivers worked every day 24 hours during the pandemic serving the citizens of Saratoga Springs, without concerns for themselves, rather their service to their community. 

We survived Covid but we can’t survive the city. 

If you wish to call the city and demand that your taxi service be reinstated, call 518-587-3550, extension 2523. 

Voice your opinion. Demand that your taxi service return.

We wish all our customers the very best. Hopefully we will be back very soon. Please support local businesses, it’s very important.
