Taxis in Earls Colne, Colchester, Essex

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.

Very reliable. Highly recommended

Best taxi so far in the area. Friendly & reliable.

Excellent experience with De'Vere cars taking us to the airport. The driver was lovely and chatty. Upon return our flight was delayed by 7.5 hours and the driver and I communication via Txt along the way. The driver kindly waited until we arrived. Cannot fault such and excellent service!

Can not recommend this taxi firm as they fail to turn up on time and cause our daughter nothing but stress she is often up to an hour late for college.

Barry has been extremely reliable and wonderful throughout all the taxi journeys that I have had the privilege to share with him. Many thanks for your constant care and attention. Best wishes always. Angela

Service was very poor , turned up 40 minutes late and kept saying 5 minutes away Not a happy customer

Had me waiting 3 hours kept on saying was 15 minutes away dont recommend this service!

Promised would be there in 20 minutes then when rung to chase 40 minutes later the same guy answered and told us we had the incorrect number and hung up. DO NOT USE!!!!

Well what can I say? I had fantastic service when with Alan like nothing was too much and the rest of the gang who are amazing. Since being taken over Im shocked how much they lie. They take on journeys they know they cannot do and they dont turn up when they are supposed to. When I have to book it earlier because they are late and still late makes me wonder Honestly it is not too hard to book something and promise and keep to it than being money hungry to get more clients in and sending them to another job when they are supposed to be picking me up.

As a taxi service the car was on time however the body odour of the driver made the journey very uncomfortable. I wouldnt use them again

I have used this company for years when it was owned by Alan. The new owners are terrible and unreliable. They accept every job that comes in knowing full well they will be late or not turn up. Twice I have booked them to pic me up form Braintree station and both times. I have been the last person at the station as they haven't stuck to the time, or bothered to call and say they will be late. They have made out the are waiting for me, made out traffic is delayed even made out they were dropping off at the station which were all lies. As a result and waiting 10, 15 and 20 minutes I have had to walk home. Not once did they call , not once did they apologize. Terrible cab company. Bring back alan !!!

Telephone operator Emma was amazing candy helped us book what we needed. Drivers were courteous and on time. Fares we reasonably priced, would definitely use them again

Excellent company I use them all of the time drivers are friendly and helpful and sensibly priced

Telephonist was rude and very unhelpful. My taxi was meant to arrive 20 minuets later but didnt show, so I contacted the company 40 mins later to which they said a taxi had arrived which it had as I was waiting outside at Z time. The man on the phone then got rude and hung up on me. Wouldnt recommend.

got quoted £38 from braintree to chelmsford mid afternoon on a sunday. got to chelmsfird for 23 pounds with another company and only cost £30 back from chelmsford using a station taxi . will avoid yello taxis at all costs in future.

Excellent Service!! Booked a Return Journey from braintree to Heathrow, both drivers were polite and helpful with our luggage.

I had a taxi booked for my mum from her home to the Colchester train station. The taxi arrived 20 minutes late, which meant she missed her train and had to buy a new ticket. She was still made to pay for the taxi after waiting in the rain and was hung up on when she tried to find out how long it would be. Very disappointing, I'd use Panther Cabs instead - much more reliable, and much kinder staff.

My van broke down, I needed to get to work. 577777 taxis were the only company available . All other taxi firms were busy with school runs !! They arrived within 5 minutes of calling and got me to work in no time. Rates were reasonable too. I will be definitely be using them again.,,

Not too bad

Always late to arrive, extremely overpriced, especially when they argue what route to take even when you have been living in the same place for 20 years

Always reliable never had any problems getting a taxi at short notice when others have failed.
