Satchmo Taxi proudly borrows its name from the legendary Louis Armstrong. As a young boy in New Orleans, Armstrong would tuck his hard-earned coins into his cheek—using his mouth like a little “satchel” to keep them safe from older boys. That clever habit earned him the nickname “Satchel Mouth,” later affectionately shortened to “Satchmo.”
Just as Armstrong protected what mattered most, Satchmo Taxi was created by Louis Armstrong Impressionist John Redmon to protect what matters to today’s travelers—fair pricing, reliable service, and a transportation experience you can trust.
Satchmo Taxi was birthed out of necessity. With rideshare companies charging customers more while paying drivers less, the system had become unbalanced—and riders and drivers alike were feeling the strain.
Founder John Redmon saw a clear way to fix a broken model:
Provide private, dependable, personable taxi services in Colorado Springs—at an affordable price.
In 2025, that vision became reality, and Satchmo Taxi hit the road with a simple mission:
Deliver exceptional service, honest rates, and a smooth, stress-free ride every time.
Whether you’re heading to the airport, commuting across town, or traveling for a special occasion, Satchmo Taxi offers:
Satchmo Taxi isn’t just a ride—it’s a better way to move.
