Be very careful using this company. Not only are their prices higher than most but you will find they add "additional fees" for stopping at traffic lights!! What an excuse being charged for following the highway code and the law!! Absolutely disgusting!!

Absolutely shocking service from this taxi firm. My niece a 16 year old young girl was left to wait over an hour in a carpark after she had finished work on a taxi to start of they forget to book her a taxi in the first place she found that out after she phoned back after 35 minutes they then made her wait another 40 minutes she phoned again to be told it would be asap 10 minutes later a man arrives to pick her up not understanding a word she said which in turn left her scared as he kept driving her around taking the wrong turns etc for her to end up having to be dropped of no where near her home because she felt so uncomfortable after all the mistakes and wrong turns. shocking service will not be using your company!! Also your “customer service”was thats bad you should really think of hiring better staff .

Absolutely shocking experience phoned just before I finished work at 8 they explained that I would have to wait half an hour and I said “ thats absolutely fine “ as that was my only way off getting home , I waited 35 minutes and phoned them back asking whats happening with the taxi and got told they havent got any bookings made to my work which once again was a total lie as I definitely did phone so they proceeded to say they would get a taxi round ASAP another 40 mins passed and I phoned back asking whats going on as Im a young girl waiting alone in a car park at night and they have made a mistake with my taxi they then sent round a driver 10 minutes later who did not understand English what so ever I tried my best to explain directions and they took 3 different turns so I ended up getting out my taxi way before I was supposed to get out due to how bad there service was , the woman on the phone was asking my dad my age as he phoned up as if that had anything to do with her

Terrible service. Never on time. Ordered taxi last night 30 mins before we had to go out, an hour later, no car. Also left my wife standing at train station for 30 mins at night. Avoid at all cost and call Airdrie Taxis on 747111

Steer clear. Total shower of cowboys. Booked online and it said 5 minute wait. 1 hour and 15 min later they still didn't turn up. They are a total shower. Go and find another company who will actually turn up!

The most horrible taxi company around ! Left my phone in the taxi so I phoned the office who told me the driver was not on the road ATM which I then asked for them to phone his mobile since he is not driving to check his car. They told me to phone back in a few hours which I did who then told me they are just off the phone to the driver and that he has checked his car. The driver then answered my phone 2 hours later saying no one has contacted him and came and dropped off my phone. Absolute disgrace of a company and run by horrible people

In the same night, one driver waited outside our door for 2 seconds before speeding off, 5 minutes later we get a text from him saying the card payments are down. Is cash no longer a form of payment? Eventually got one sent out and even HE didnt understand as drivers are supposed to wait 5 minutes outside. Near midnight we booked on the app from bishopbriggs to home, it took 40 minutes for the dispatched text to come through, then when we go to check the whereabouts, it hasnt been dispatched yet. 30 minutes later and our booking has been cancelled. Bishopbriggs moght be a ways out for Penny but dont accept the booking and make us wait for a hour to cancel without notice.

Booked a taxi and was told it would be 5 minutes when I booked it, took 15 minutes when until I got a text which said he was 3 minutes away, a further 8 minutes passed and I missed my train and had to spend a further £15 than I should have to get me to work on time, the place is a joke the driver seemingly didnt have a clue where he was going I cannot describe just how much I hate this company they are a joke and people complain that uber take the piss

Horrible experience, driver was 30 minutes late from my booking he was also completely horrible as he was clearly not happy and he was also on his phone when he was driving and was also going at a very high speed which made the people I was with and me very uncomfortable

Booked taxi for 8:30am more than 12 hours in advance. Called office 8:40 am to find out where taxi is as I had to be in hospital for 9am to be told could still be waiting another 30 mins. Absolutely disgraceful should not take bookings if they can't fulfill . Phoned another company and taxi came within 5 minutes .Will not be using this company again.

Karlynn kane in Airdrie - 25 Aug 17
My daughter called a taxi at 11.25 pm tonight from Govan, Glasgow and booking confirmed by receptionist. When she called back 25 mins later to see where cab was she was told it had been cancelled because driver for another booking. She stupidly gave them a chance and booked another one only for exact same thing to happen again only with no excuse just that cab cancelled. When I called to complain only excuse is receptionist just changed shift and didn't know what had happened. How convenient. Think you doing the right thing using your local taxi firm when you are in town. Won't be happening again. What a disappointing service

Waited an hour for a taxi, called back to be told my address was blacklisted for a hire I had never booked as I wasn't at home during the new year! Then I was hung up on without being able to resolve the issue. Not be using again!

I would give this taxi no stars if I could. Women on the phone are rude and the app is definitely not an improvement at all. One example of many being that we got 3 different texts saying the taxis were on its way and never happened, so we phoned up just to find out none were on their way.

had used this taxi firm for years with no problem but then out of the blue when phoning them, they said they now can't come to newarthill to pick up anyone. Really? Surely this is a joke as it's just along the road!! Well it seems they can afford to turn business away. No explanation either, just an abrupt response then a hang up. Rude rude rude

Use them nearly everyday without any issues. Fast turnaround. Weekends can be nightmare though. Never given an approx time. Which is crucial if you're trying to head out at a specific time. I suggest prebooking on weekends.

Called from Bathgate, I didn't know the street name but gave train station as my location.....girl on the phone said this wasn't enough then hung up on me. 2nd call the girl seemed more helpful, waited over an hour on the taxi which didn't appear so got another company. I won't use this taxi firm again.....shocking customer service!!!
