Safety Has Always Been Our Number One Priority.

When you ride with Dabs Cabs, you're trusting us with what matters most—your family, your friends, and your loved ones. That's a responsibility we take seriously every single day.

Every Dabs Cabs vehicle is equipped with a first aid kit, naloxone (Narcan), and interior and exterior-facing dash cameras to help protect both our passengers and our drivers.

Our vehicles are GPS tracked and monitored by dispatch, so there's always someone looking out for every trip from start to finish.

Every member of our team has been thoroughly vetted with background checks and clean driving abstracts. More importantly, our drivers are local people who live, work, and are proud to be part of the Grand Bend and Lambton Shores community.

As part of our ongoing commitment to safety, Dabs Cabs is now providing a backless booster seat in every vehicle. That means if your child needs one during your trip, it's already on board and ready to use.

For younger children who require a forward-facing child car seat, we also have one available upon request. Because it needs to be properly installed before your ride, we ask that you request it when booking, preferably at least one day in advance.

We'll always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible, but booking ahead helps ensure everything is installed and ready before we arrive.

Your most precious cargo deserves the safest ride.
