I have used cannon cars to the airports and local runs over this year they are always on time and have never let me down I would just like to say they are Amazing

Not sure if I have the right company but the gentleman was not rude, patient courteous and the gentleman was quite courteous at the end of the ride he asked me to do him a favor. I enjoyed the service and The View. And I I would like to say thank you.

I WOULD URGE NOT TO USE! Late is an understatement! Waited well over an hour 75mins in FACT when told driver would be within 30mins ! Absolute joke of a service!:

We used Cannon Cars for the first time yesterday after being let down by 3 Uber drivers and I will definitely be using Cannon Cars again for any future trips I need! Our driver arrived to us as fast as possible and she was so so friendly which made us feel so comfortable the whole journey. Would definitely recommend!

I have used this company twice now and on both occasions they have turned up on time with helpful drivers and clean cars. Would definitely use again

Really poor, booked 3 days ahead then didn't turn up, when called I was told no idea when get to me, bad attitude when tried to get information, cancelled ride and they cancelled return trip without letting me know.

very reliable taxi company would always recommend them

Friendly driver and was early very impressed!

Excellent Service. Taxi arrived on time at the station even though my train was delayed!! Booked Roadrunner Taxis Totnes for the return journey and Victors wife collected us! Will certainly use these again! 10/10

Friendly driver, great service

Bit of an emergency this one after my car broke down. Really got me out of a sticky situation thanks guys well worth the cab fare.

I have used Courteous Travel for over 3 years and they really are what they say they are; Courteous . If they cannot make a journey, they always provide a suitable alternative. They are not expensive and remarkably provide a value add of ancillary services which has never been provided by any other taxi company that I've used, ie. Bottle of water and a pint of milk when you get off the plane in case there's nothing in the fridge on your return home. Also, negotiating a comparable price with a suitabe taxi company when they aren't able to take on a journey. They are also friendly and kind.

1st class. Punctual, clean minibus, polite driver both ways. Milk, bread and water on our return was a great and unexpected bonus. Will definitely use them again

Absolutely fantastic experience. Took us to Luton and back, was there on time with good communication and we were also given a bottle of water each after our flight. Would recommend to everyone, best taxi service I have had so far.

Many thanks for the service tonight. It was, as you advertise, both timely and courteous. A vote of thanks from my fellow travelers for an excellent service.

Very professional always on time would recommend for all travel needs

I have been using Gilbert's over 25 years now.

Really bad, booked with disabled needs explained this was assured of help, but the drive refused any assistance - so mean spirited - what a horrible company

Always provide me amazing and reliable service. Much better than the other local firms. Highly recommended

Paid for group booking gave them a tip in advance big mistake driver miserable & wanted more money give Gilbert a wide berth.

A local family taxi company well established with a great fleet of drivers and nice cars. Polite, punctual and good value too.

Very poor performance I thought I was getting into a Taxi with a professional Taxi driver, it wasn't he had a very poor knowledge of route just following a sat nav. Very little knowledge of Edinburgh. Next time I will use a black cab from the airport, I used a black cab on my return journey! It was way quicker and cheaper.

Phoned on the 3/ 10 and communicated with a robot . After a wait spoke to a person who booked me for 4/10 at 845 ..Was going into hospital as day patient ..The taxi was 20 minutes late ..I was advised initially I would be picked up by a BMW and then a Toyota. The driver of the Toyota travelled from Preston pans and said he had been allocated the job at 9pm ..The cost was £25.80 for a very stressful and inadequate service

They helped us to get to the airport after an unexpected accient. The staff treated us very professionally (we were stressed) and we got to the airport on time. 10/10, highly recommended!!

Honest driver Saleem called me back after I'd left his cab to point out I'd given him 2 twenty pound notes instead of 2 tenners. many thanks

dropped off in town for a night on the tiles with work mates. All good fare less than I normally pay too!

Definitely the most reliable taxi & minibus service in Porthcawl, their vehicles are always exceptionally clean and the drivers are always very happy and chatty, highly recommend if you haven't tried them before.

Best taxi & minibus service in porthcawl! Had a great experience when I ordered three 8 seaters last Saturday for my brothers weddings in cowbridge, very punctual and happy chatty drivers which is rare these days! Thank you James Taxis keep up the good work

Best taxi & minibus service round Porthcawl , happy drivers, good prices and very reliable

great service for my wedding last weekend , will be using james taxis more often very reliable. thank you

Love this taxi firm !! Drivers are funny and a great laugh, highly recommend

Got in taxis having already pre paid on app.When the journey finished the metre said 4.40.I said to him ok its 4.40 then got out.When I checked the app he charged me 4.70.They are suppose to be trust worthy. I now feel he has let sussex cars done and will now try another taxis company.

Ordered a taxi. Never turned up. Phone not answered. Finally got though. Could not care less. No explanation. Rude and unhelpful.

No one answers after ringing 3 times sort your staffing out or admit defeat and sellout absolutely rubbish customer service

If I could give 0 stars I would. Possibly the worst service I have ever received. Taxi never showed up, the rudest telephonist ever. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

Horrible service. Ordered a pet friendly taxi the day before travelling. In the morning a normal cab arrived with a confused rude driver who refused to take the dog. He contacted the office and they said that there are no pet friendly cars available at this time. Had to run to get to the vet's on time. Awful, incompetent company, will never use again.

Brilliant! Make sure you ask for the price before you go, and your guaranteed that price :)

Great service. Punctual, easy to contact and a pleasure to travel with. Would recommend.

Booked this lot for taxi to Gatwick and return pickup. Text to confirm pick had wrong post code. Driver arrived on time but not helpful in terms of luggage. Got to Gatwick on time. Return was something else. Driver was late. Contacting him proved difficult, when we did he asked if we were in the Yellow car park - there isnt a Yellow car park, then radio silence. Called yet again when someone else answered and said he would get hold of him. After more frustration he turned up in the Red car park where we were. Set of on the journey home but didnt have our address in his satnav so got somewhere close and asked if “this was it”, a random assumption. Directed him to our house where he sat in his cab, opened the tailgate so we unloaded bags and closed his tailgate for him. Useless company and useless driver.

We booked a taxi for 4 adults to take us to a restaurant & a return trip. The driver who picked us up was on time, friendly & efficient ( he deserves a very good rating). For the return journey, the company could not come up with a driver and after 50 minutes of waiting & numerous phone calls to them, we fortunately found another means to return home. Alpha cars seem to have a monopoly on all taxi firms in Basingstoke ... sadly they did no fulfill their obligation, so we would not recommend them.

Called a day in advance asking for a 3:15pm sharp service for a school run, even sharing with the operator that if I was not going to be able to make it "my wife would've killed me". Service confirmed and call 30 min before the expected time (2:45pm on the day) to confirm all was booked and ready. 3:15 Nothing!... called and they advise the vehicle was on its way, 3:25 nothing! 3:27 vehicle showed up telling me he was just told about the service. Had to collect my kids at the school reception because of course, I was 10 mins late...

They don't deserve even a one star. I booked a taxi on Friday, wanted it to come on Saturday. I waited 15mins for a taxi, I was in hurry, so I called to Alpha Cars asking where is taxi, the operator said it will be with me soon. Taxi never showed up. I called again and said it's not here so I want to cancel it. They said sorry and sent me a message that the driver couldn't find me which is not true! The taxi never come to pick me up. So disappointed, because of them I was late to my appointment. I will never use them again and won't recommend to anyone.

The company is good depending on what driver you get there is a mini bus driver who resembles Shrek with a Liverpool accent beware he is a greedy bully.
