Yes, you can get a ride in Lloydminster at any hour in winter: Kings Cabs lists its service as 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and you can book by phone at (306) 307-1113 or through the online booking form at kingscabs.ca.

Picture the scene: it is -25 °C, the wind is sweeping across the prairie, and your car has not started. Or you are a visitor who has just landed and would rather not drive an unfamiliar vehicle on icy roads. This is the situation where a local taxi earns its keep. Our team researches and curates this guide from the Kings Cabs website and the City of Lloydminster's published taxi information. Kings Cabs is a lloydvibes.ca partner, and every service detail below comes from the company's own pages, so confirm specifics when you book.
Who is Kings Cabs, and is it a licensed Lloydminster taxi company?
Kings Cabs is a local taxi company based at 6201A 49 Avenue, Lloydminster, SK. The City of Lloydminster's February 2026 notice on licensed taxi operators lists Kings Cabs among the five taxi companies currently permitted to operate within city limits, alongside Co-op Taxi, Lloyd Taxi, Taxi FilCanadian and Yellow Cabs. The City oversees taxi drivers, vehicles and companies through municipal bylaw, and it encourages residents to confirm they are booking with an authorized provider. You can read more in our guide to choosing a taxi service in Lloydminster.
How do I book a winter ride with Kings Cabs?
There are two main ways. You can call dispatch at (306) 307-1113, which is the best option if you need a ride right now or are changing a trip already underway. You can also use the online booking form at kingscabs.ca/online-booking.html for on-demand city rides, scheduled airport transfers and long-distance trips. Kings Cabs says you can cancel or modify an online booking, but to change a trip that is already live you should phone. We could not confirm a mobile app, so do not count on one.
Is Kings Cabs really available 24/7 in winter?
The company states that it is available 24/7, 365 days a year, and its homepage says it never closes. That includes holidays and overnight hours when many people are leaving restaurants, shifts or events. As with any taxi service, wait times can stretch on very busy nights or during storms, so booking ahead for planned trips such as airport runs is sensible. For Edmonton International Airport trips, Kings Cabs recommends booking 24 to 48 hours ahead.
What winter-friendly services does Kings Cabs offer?
Kings Cabs lists several services on its website:
- Local rides across both sides of the border. Lloydminster straddles Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the company serves the whole city.
- Airport transfers. Kings Cabs lists Lloydminster Airport (YLL) transfers, about 10 to 15 minutes from the city centre, and shuttles to Edmonton International Airport (YEG), listed at about 2 hours 45 minutes via Highway 16.
- Long-distance trips. Highway rides to medical clinics, transport hubs and out-of-town destinations, including flat-rate private rides between Lloydminster and Edmonton.
- Drive Home service. Two drivers: one drives your car home while the other follows. More on this below.
- Senior voucher rides. Kings Cabs says it is an approved provider for the City of Lloydminster Senior Taxi Voucher program.
- Corporate accounts and special events. Fleet billing options for businesses, plus group transport for weddings, concerts and festivals.
What does the Drive Home service do?
Drive Home is built for the evening when you should not drive but your car needs to get home. According to Kings Cabs, one driver takes your keys and drives your vehicle while a second driver follows, so you and your car both arrive safely. It runs 24/7 across both the Alberta and Saskatchewan sides, and the company says drivers can handle manual transmissions if you mention it when you call. In winter this also means you are not leaving your vehicle in a cold parking lot overnight. Pricing is described as flat-rate with a quote given before service, though no dollar amounts are published. Our full explainer is here: Safe Ride Home: Kings Cabs Drive Home Service Explained.
How does a taxi help with winter driving and cold-weather problems?
A taxi will not change the weather, but it removes several winter headaches. You skip scraping the windshield and waiting for the engine to warm up, you avoid hunting for a parking spot in snowy lots, and you do not have to drive on icy roads after a late night. Kings Cabs describes its fleet as rigorously inspected and fully winterized, and its airport page mentions a warm vehicle waiting at the arrivals curb. If you are driving yourself instead, see our winter driving tips for visitors and our winter layering guide.
Is the service accessible for seniors or people with mobility needs?
Kings Cabs' senior page describes sedans with low step-in heights, multi-passenger vans, space for collapsible walkers and canes, and curbside assistance, with drivers who help riders inside. Caregivers and family members can book on a senior's behalf. The website does not state whether wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available, so ask when you call if you need one. Our Lloydminster seniors guide covers more services.
How do I pay for a Kings Cabs ride?
The company says its vehicles carry point-of-sale terminals that accept major credit cards, debit cards or cash at the end of the trip. Corporate clients can ask about account billing. Fares are not published online, so ask for a quote when you book, particularly for airport and long-distance trips.
