Default Cabs/Taxis in Newport

I am going to be up in Newport for a weekend in September. I will be staying in Middletown and I was wondering if it's easy to get cabs to and from the heart of Newport. I heard that they aren't really reliable, especially when leaving the bars when they close on Friday and Saturday nights.

Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

My first choice is always Rainbow 401-849-1333 and you can often pre-book though it is harder in the summer with demand due to tourists. RIPTA (Rhode Island Public Transit Authority) has runs from Providence to downtown Newport -- ripta.com has all the schedules. They run on East and West Main Roads through Middletown (run number 60). Please note that the Sunday/Holiday schedules have fewer runs.

If using cabs it is best to make arrangements for pickup when you arrive at your destination -- give a decent tip to your driver and agree on a pickup spot and time. Very important during tourist season -- and grab one of their business cards, too, so you can call them on their cell.

Hope this helped.
