DeKalb County taxi and car service

Price Guard Rideshare provides taxi and private car transportation across DeKalb County, Georgia by advance appointment, including Lithonia, Stonecrest, Decatur, Stone Mountain, Tucker and Redan, with the fare agreed before the ride and no surge pricing.

DeKalb County rides are by appointment. Conyers and Covington are our everyday areas. Anyone in DeKalb is welcome to book through the same booking form, we just need the trip arranged in advance rather than called in for right now.

DeKalb County sits right on our doorstep. We are based in Conyers, a short run east along I-20, and Lithonia and Stonecrest are close enough that we drive there most weeks. Booked ahead, at a price agreed before you travel, with no fare that triples because it started raining.

How the appointment works

  1. Book it ahead. Use the booking form or call. Tell us the pickup address, the destination and the time you need to be there.
  2. We confirm the price. You get the fare before anything is booked, and it holds.
  3. The car is committed to your time. That is what the appointment buys you: not a driver who might accept, a car that is booked.

A day ahead is comfortable, a few hours is often enough. For a 5am flight, book the night before at the latest.

DeKalb County questions

Do you serve DeKalb County, GA?

Yes, by advance appointment. We drive throughout the county including Lithonia, Stonecrest, Decatur, Stone Mountain, Tucker, Redan, Clarkston and Ellenwood. Our everyday service area is Rockdale and Newton counties, so DeKalb trips are arranged ahead rather than called in for right now.

What does by appointment mean?

You book the trip in advance, through the same booking form or by phone, and we commit a car to your time. Anyone in DeKalb County can book. We just cannot promise a car in ten minutes there the way we can in Conyers and Covington.

How far in advance should I book?

A day ahead is comfortable and a few hours is often enough. For an early morning airport departure, book the night before at the latest so the car is committed to you.

How much is a ride from DeKalb County to Atlanta airport?

Hartsfield-Jackson is roughly 25 to 30 miles from most of the county. The price is quoted and agreed before you book rather than metered afterwards, and it does not change with the weather or the hour.

Do you charge surge pricing in DeKalb County?

No. The price is agreed before the ride and it holds, whatever the demand, the weather or the time of day.
