Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

That’s probably the same as a flight right now or even cheaper so good call

You should have asked when a non-yellow taxi pulled up.

Yep. Don’t assume anything. Could have easily replaced it with a regular taxi if the fare was unacceptable.

In the future, know the difference between a car service (what they called) vs a taxi (doesn't have to be yellow, but they're marked as taxis and licensed/bonded) and push back when they don't give you what you wanted.

I obviously know the difference. I requested a taxi but was late for my flight and didnt have a choice to push back without missing a flight. All normal taxis are yellow in the city.
