What a lovely cabbie!

What a lovely cabbie! His car was spotlessly clean and smelt so nice. Arrived in less than 10 mins. Really lovely guy too which is very reassuring as a female travelling alone late at night. Thank you driver 👍

Cancellation without notifying us

I received confirmation for my taxi booking, but no one arrived at the pickup location. We were left stranded in the middle of nowhere with no explanation. When I contacted them, they informed me the booking had been cancelled—yet no one had notified me of this cancellation. After waiting, they eventually sent a driver who arrived one hour late. Despite the inconvenience and their failure to communicate the cancellation, they refused to provide any refund.
The staff I dealt with were rude and dismissive. The only person who showed any professionalism was the taxi driver himself.
This was one of the worst service experiences I have ever had. I cannot recommend this company.

Stansted / Maldon airport transfer.

The outbound airport transfer was in time but the vehicle was too small - driver was very helpful but we did have to cram ourselves in with luggage on our laps & my wife’s walker wedged behind the drivers seat.

The return transfer was initially booked for the wrong date - quickly sorted & no extra charge. On the correct day the driver was bang on time in a bigger vehicle & was also super helpful.

It took a lot of emails back & forth to get the prices & book the taxi’s - but email responses were always quick.

If I could give 0 stars I would

If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely awful customer service. The guy that handles the phone calls is so rude and unhelpful. It’s a shame as I’ve been a customer for them for years. Never again will I use them.
Shame because there are 2 really nice cab drivers.

Exceptional driver but bad booking service

The people who received the call let you down. I don’t know if it was intentional but the taxi was 30 minutes late.
However, our driver Andrew (Andy) was exceptional, couldn’t fault him.
5 stars for Andrew
1 star for the booking service and updates before he arrived.
