About Gregg Katz
Gregg Katz is the owner of Gregg the Taxi Guy, a transportation service specializing in airport, long-distance, and pre-scheduled transportation throughout Johnson County, Miami County, and surrounding communities in eastern Kansas.
Since 2013, Gregg has provided reliable transportation to thousands of passengers traveling to and from Kansas City International Airport (MCI), medical appointments, business meetings, hotels, special events, and destinations throughout Kansas and Missouri. His reputation has been built on professionalism, reliability, and a commitment to providing a level of service that many passengers feel has become increasingly difficult to find.
Unlike rideshare services where passengers are matched with an unknown driver, customers of Gregg the Taxi Guy communicate directly with the person who will be driving them. This personal approach allows Gregg to build lasting relationships with passengers and provide a level of accountability that app-based transportation services often cannot match.
Military Service
Gregg is a proud United States Marine Corps veteran who served from 1982 through 1986. The values learned during his military service—including discipline, punctuality, accountability, and attention to detail—continue to influence how he operates his transportation business today.
Passengers often comment that Gregg treats every reservation as a commitment rather than simply another fare. Those who know him understand that showing up on time, keeping promises, and treating people with respect are principles he takes seriously.
Professional Background
Before entering the transportation industry, Gregg built a diverse professional background that emphasized responsibility, customer service, and attention to detail. Those experiences helped shape the service-oriented approach that has become the foundation of Gregg the Taxi Guy.
His professional experience, combined with years of transportation service, allows him to understand that passengers are often trusting him with much more than a ride. Business travelers need to catch flights. Families need dependable transportation for loved ones. Medical patients need to arrive at appointments on time. Every trip matters, and Gregg approaches each reservation with that understanding.
Award-Winning Service
In 2016, Gregg was honored with the Paratransit Driver of the Year Award from the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association. The award recognized his dedication to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate transportation for passengers with specialized transportation needs.
The recognition remains one of the highlights of Gregg's driving career because it reflects the values that continue to guide his business today: professionalism, patience, reliability, and respect for every passenger.
Airport Transportation Specialist
A significant portion of Gregg's business involves transportation to and from Kansas City International Airport. Airport transportation requires careful planning, schedule management, and attention to changing flight conditions.
Gregg monitors arriving flights, tracks delays when possible, and works to ensure passengers experience a smooth pickup and drop-off process. Whether a passenger is departing before sunrise or arriving late at night, the goal remains the same: provide dependable transportation without unnecessary stress.
Serving Communities Often Overlooked by Rideshare Services
Over the years, Gregg has developed a strong customer base in communities where rideshare availability can be limited, inconsistent, or unavailable. Passengers from Olathe, Gardner, Spring Hill, Louisburg, Paola, Wellsville, Baldwin City, Osawatomie, La Cygne, and many other communities regularly rely on his services for airport transportation and long-distance travel.
His willingness to serve smaller communities has helped establish Gregg the Taxi Guy as a transportation option for passengers who may otherwise struggle to find dependable service.
Commitment to Safety and Reliability
Safety and reliability remain the cornerstones of Gregg's business.
Passengers trust him with early morning airport departures, important medical appointments, business travel, family events, and long-distance trips. Gregg understands that transportation is often one of the most important parts of a customer's day, and he takes that responsibility seriously.
His goal is simple: provide transportation that passengers can depend on.
Community Involvement
Gregg believes in giving back to the communities that support his business. Over the years, he has participated in community outreach efforts, charitable activities, and volunteer projects that help strengthen the communities he serves.
As a locally owned and operated business, Gregg the Taxi Guy is built on relationships, trust, and a commitment to serving others.
A Reputation Built One Ride at a Time
Today, many of Gregg's customers are repeat riders or referrals from family members, friends, coworkers, and previous passengers. That trust has been earned through years of dependable service, honest communication, and a commitment to treating every passenger with professionalism and respect.
Whether the trip is a short airport transfer, a medical appointment, or a long-distance journey across Kansas, Gregg's goal remains the same: provide safe, reliable transportation and a customer experience that passengers can feel confident recommending to others.
