Taxis in UK

Top company, have used a couple of times and never had a issue and always on time which makes a change from other companies used!

What an awful experience. Smoky, uncomfortable taxis but the worst points were 1. They didn't turn up when booked in advance- we called and they came late but we were then late for our appointment 2. They charged us nearly double the price quoted on the phone and were completely lacking in concern when we dared to argue about the price. Never again - there are many other good taxi companies around the area

First time trying to use this company and I won't bother again. I called about 1.5 hours before I needed a pick up from our local station and they asked me to pay in advance which I was happy to do but when we got off the train at our local station the taxi wasn't there. I called and was informed that they had just finished a job but were still 15-20 mins away. The walk home takes about the same time so my husband and i just walked home in the pitch black. Rather infuriatingly, I was told I couldn't have a refund straight away and that I would need to call on the next working day to arrange this. Not happy as I paid in advance in good faith so I feel like I have been ripped off.

They are brilliant, timing, car and service quality are 5 star. Our driver Tony, was very polite and he has comfortable driving skill. Thanks for tonight.

No cab company is perfect, but they are I suppose better than walking. Especially when its raining. Or snowing. Or in a blizzard. Or something like that. Actually, or even when its too hot. They have air-con in most of their motors. Yeah OK, that ain't much use in a blizzard. But it is when its hot. Like it was a couple of weeks back. All sorts of drivers though. Some are stupid, some are OK. I spose much like any other cab company. But, unlike the previous review, I would use them again, but I wont recommend them to anyone, as if I do, they might get too busy and I might not get a cab myself.

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.

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.

Fast LUXURY service

Great Service, hassle free even with my two children with me while travelling.

Rude and disrespectful

TAXI DRIVER RAN OVER MY CAT. BAD SERVICE AS WHEN I RING TO COMPLAIN I GET SPOKEN TO LIKE TRASH.

Terrible service. Do not use. 10 mins after agreed time we were told the taxi was 2 mins away. After another 10 mins we called and were told we didn't have a taxi because they hadn't confirmed it despite having a text to say our taxi was booked. Taxi showed up an hour late after several phone calls.

i called 2 hours before to book a taxi for the required time... guess what.... it never came. Why? Because first communication it was stuck in traffic second communication the train in Netherfield was passing... Result did not make it to my destination, cost me money and waisted my time... Suggestion if you want to get to your destination use any other company except Gedling

Didn't even turn up !!

Excellent service

Our driver Bogdan was extremely considerate and helpful to my wife and myself when bringing us home from shopping today We think he needs a pat on the back

Left stranded after booking a taxi home from a works do. When I called to politely ask where the taxi was after waiting 20 minutes I was told there is no taxi coming and I had been blacklisted! Horrendous customer service. I had only booked the taxi a few hours before with no issues.

Absolutely shocking service by my driver today, he was rude, drove recklessly and was far too distracted by other things in the car, I will not be using this company again

Always come on time, and give you a call when they arrive so you don't wait around. Very reasonable prices even for students!

The best cab service in Norwich as there are set prices so you don't get overcharged and it doesn't change in price. Never arrived more than 10 minutes late before, normally slightly early.
