Clarence and Patricia Page founded Cove Taxi in March 1996. Cove Taxi began as a rental car service frequently patronized by Fort Hood soldiers. When the local CC Cab Company sold out to the Killeen Cab Company in the early 1990’s, the rental car service lost business because soldiers had a difficult time getting back to Fort Hood after they returned their rented vehicles. When Patricia had to take them back in a rental car, we decided if we were going to run a taxi service we should get paid for it. Clarence worked part time as a mechanic for CC Cab Company in the late 1980’s while stationed at Fort Hood. So drawing on his experience, he set aside five rental cars to be used as taxicabs and discovered a new source of income. When the taxi service started to make more money than the fleet of rental cars did, we took most of the rental cars and turned them into taxicabs and sold the rest.
