Taxis in Heybridge, Maldon, 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.

Absolutely awful! Booked tonight at 10pm for a taxi for 12pm! For a taxi from Maldon to tiptree was told the price of £26 however they Turned up 40 minuites late and told us £40. Absolutely shocking service, taxi driver was unfriendly and rude. DO NOT USE!

Great service thank you for all the information about Maldon highly recommended

Needed a cab urgently as a 92 year old relative had had a fall and I needed to get to her house. Was told there would be a 45 minute wait. Will not use Banyards again.

Phoned them with two hours notice. Rang them when they were nearly ten minutes late 'Just on the way to you sweetheart' rang after a further 10 minutes and told her this was turning into a joke and she put the phone down on me! Crap service.

Absolute disgrace of a cab driver who he tell me is also the manager, left my daughter and boyfriend stranded 3 miles from home after midnight and took her phone because her bank card was refused had he driven the 3 miles I could have paid but I'm now expected to do a 2 hour drive to collect phone and pay bill as they will not bring the phone and my daughter doesn't drive.

Excellent service

Great taxi service

Not great - 25 mins late - v unapologetic. Then after some road detours decided to charge me a higher fare!

very good

Been using JK taxi for almost 5 years now! amazing service and very reliable. maybe you have the wrong person?

Turned up almost 30 minutes late and was very very rude! AVOID!!!

Friendly driver who has reasonable prices.

We had a pleasant journey from Bradwell Marina to Sandwich JL Taxi was clean, accommodating and helpful and a nice guy to chat to Good calm standard of driving. Reasonable rates. Thanks for your service

I used to use these on a regular basis but tonight has made me decide to stop using them from now on... waited for car to turn up in a small cul de sac - no vehicles entered, waited 20/30 mins then walked out of cul de sac to find taxi waiting and to to be told they had been waiting at least 20 mins... I gave address and house number on booking? Why would you not try knocking? Or is that too much energy these days? When I got in the taxi the whole journey I was told that it was My fault and that they had missed another booking because of me.... this is NOT good customer service and made me feel awful, even though I was waiting at the door for a car to pull up - that never did! It pulled up outside of cul de sac and there was no way I would have heard it.. there is a door bell and a knocker you could have tried! But no, you would rather make someone feel guilty for calling and booking with you then not knowing you have arrived because you are too lazy to knock on the door. Shame.

Woeful phone operator

I have always been very pleased with the company for years . But shocked when they charged £16 . Because there was 5 people. I expected around £10. We were charged the same fare on the return journey which was after midnight by a black cab. Very disappointed with them

Turned up, but didn't bother waiting more than a couple of minutes.

Great experience. Reliable and Affordable with excellent customer service. Every time I have booked, the cab has arrived early and has patiently waited.

Excellent Service. Prompt & Clean. We used to use a different company, however we moved to Essex Cars & Taxis after the lovely customer service and the driver taking us a route which cost us 1/4 of the price less than the old company we used to use! Would highly recommend

Excellent experience, taxi was booked last minute yet arrived at the correct time. The driver was well spoken, polite and very courteous and the car was clean both inside and out. Will certainly be using this firm again.

The driver robbed us

Dispicable

I would recommend your cabbie for all your needs especially airports, very professional friendly polite drivers, never late always at least 15 minutes early.

After my 85 year old Mum got stranded and then rather lost in Chelmsford after the 2 hourly bus service was cancelled, by chance asked My Cabbie driver directions, was told he was actually going near where she lived to do a pick up, he brought her all the way home to her front door at no charge, would like to thank him very much for helping her, very rare these days!

TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL - LEFT STRANDED . Booked 2 return journeys (one Friday, one Saturday) to go to Creamfields music festival in June. Booked at the end of April. Confirmed all details (pick up times/locations, no.of pax) with the driver 3 days before the event. He said he had a driver off with Covid, I asked if there was a possibility of letting us down - was told all would defo be OK. He turned up on the first day in a vehicle for 8 - we were 10. Then he told us he wouldn't be doing the return journey - for both days. When asked why, he told us he had a couple of airport runs (obvs sacked us off to do those instead). When asked what he thought we were going to do to get home, he said we could get a cab off the venue's rank. The whole reason for booking in advance was precisely to avoid having to wait in the rank queue. Had to scrabble around to get another cab company to get the 2 extra passengers into Chelmsford and to get home on both days. All round nightmare.

Drivers need to learn how indicators work! And remember what the speed limit is on Broomfield Road... It's 30mph...

My family have used 'Your Cabbie' for over a year now and would just like to say a big thank you to them for always going the extra mile and for providing such excellent service. Nothing ever seems to much trouble even at short notice, the vehicles are always clean and the drivers always polite.
