I'd recommend Arlex ( aka Medford/Arlington/Lexington/Winchester yellow cab ). Arlex has their main garage close by in Ball Square.
Also Somerville Green/Yellow always seemed to want tunnel tolls for the drive back to Somerville. Arlex covers a different area, and theyve never asked me for tolls. You could also try Malden Transportation ( Medford Blue Cab ).
I'd also say forget about the credit cards. I used to take cabs for business all the time and the accountants did not want credit card bills, they wanted receipts from the cab company.
For a ~$30 amount, I'd be more worried about the security of the credit card transaction than the security of carrying that amount of cash around. This is not to pick on cabs but I always use cash if its for small amounts at point-of-sale locations I don't visit often.
I don't know how credit cards are handled in cabs, whether theyre verified over wireless, whether there's good encryption. You certainly don't want your account number called in over a taxi radio.
