Frequently Asked Questions

Until recently no, however there is a few Uber vehicles driving in Mammoth Lakes. I would not expect the same level of service as major cities, as there may or may not be a driver available at the time you need to be picked up. Our point to point car service is very similar to UberSUV and Lyft Plus, and we operate 7:00am - 12:00am daily.

MAWS Transportation is a licensed limousine operator, and by law we cannot be hailed at the curb side, however we can provide the same type of car service as a taxi or cab and we do not have a meter. All reservations need to be scheduled before your pickup over the phone, text, email, or via online booking. I guarantee your experience in our new, clean vehicles will be much better than a regular Mammoth taxi.
