Taxis in NE92

I am a disabled passenger who called to booked a taxi for 12:30am on 20/02/2022, to be called back at the time we were due to be picked up and told they would be 10mins late. Standing in the rain and cold awaiting their arrival, I called them to see where they were. Driver tried to tell me they had waited outside. This did not happen - we were outside for 25mins. Taxi drivers should not leave anyone; never-mind someone who is vulnerable, after agreeing to the Booked Fare and times.

Just brilliant . Stranded in storm Arwen after traffic accident , nearly 200 miles from home. Service and help to solve our transport problem was above and beyond on a really difficult night to be on the road. We really appreciated your help last night. Thank you .

Unreliable and poor customer service. This company no longer cares about its customers.

Brilliant taxi drivers especially Steve hes one of the best in my eyes hes funny a real gentleman & while still been provisional hes hellish just like one of us very trustworthy good crack & honest ,if you left something in the taxi he wouldve out his way to make sure he give you it back I must say so will all the other drivers ibfs f Ill e. even go as far to say its the BEST TAXI firm in Bishop Auckland, , I. have met lots of the drivers &there all gr8 the lasses in the office are very pleasant and helpful &try ther best to get you a taxi if you have to wait they will chat & keep you updated on your taxis location &how long you have to wait its never ages because they have so many drivers Steve your the boy m8 &a absolutely credit to the company

Safest taxi service I have ever used. Get a text to confirm the booking and another to inform you that the taxi has arrived I love this idea especially if you are alone and need a taxi.

Reliable, cordial and friendly as TJ taxis and continue to be so as Newcastle Taxis.

Always impressed with their service, they arrive in a few minutes!

Great value! Low fare prices, prompt arrival!

Your taxi service is a disgrace. I booked my taxi at 7.30 am for 8.40. 8.40 i rang to see where it was to be told it was in traffic. The driver then told me when he turned up 10 mins late that the job had not been booked till 8.44. Total joke cant even do your job properly

Complete waist of time! My partner booked them for 11.30 tonight and didn't turn up. I'd give them 0 if I could

First time using this firm. Friendly driver Ian, on time and efficient. Lovely start to my day. Will defo be using again.

Travelling to and from Ponteland in evening ( on ladies day at racecourse ). Both drivers were courteous and friendly and turned up on time, despite the return trip being at 11pm.

Turned up on time friendly enough driver.

Bad reviews on here why i don't no use them all the time spot on friendly as always

Dean Taxis in my experience do not appear to be particularly up to par when call outs are to places caring for the vulnerable and aged. They do not seem to grasp that customers at such places need a bit more time than usual to get to the taxi for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps a bit of training (if they do such a thing) in dealing with the vulnerable and aged could be of benefit to their business?

Pre booked a taxi tonight at 19:45 for pick up at 20:15 on the app. No taxi by 20:25 so I call them. The lady said I shouldn't have been allowed to book on the app as they were overbooked and running late. But I had booked and had a taxi confirmed. I gave her my confirmation number and she found the booking eventually. She said I can still get you one it will be 10-15 mins are you OK. I told her I had no choice so please send it. 20 mins later we called back as it hadn't arrived. At this point they said they couldn't find the booking at all and didn't have any taxis for another half an hour. Which would be 1.5 hours after we'd made the booking. We ended up starting to walk home and in the end my dad came to pick us up from his sick bed. The booking is still showing as confirmed on the app at 21:50. Appreciate it's xmas and they are busy but they shouldn't accept bookings they can't honour, it's completely unacceptable.

Was outside Asda Metrocentre when I overheard an abusive Dean taxi driver have a go at a promoter of a service - disgusting language and I have to question their safeguarding where kids and older people are concerned if this is the usual attitude of their drivers

I rang for a taxi yesterday at 9.30am enquiring if I could have a taxi to Burnopfield at 10.30am - I was told they werent taking bookings and to ring nearer the time ? I asked how much nearer 5he time did they mean as it was less than an hour already and he told me he couldnt say ! I rang Street Cars instead and they came no problem - I know which company I will be using in future and it wont be Dean Taxis - terrible customer service

Terrible experience over a year starting with being 20 minutes late for an airport pick up booked weeks in advance. The app also doesn't work constantly having bookings cancelled and then called by rude staff suggesting that it's my fault and that I've been called to say this when I haven't. The way they are headed can't see a future no respect for customers. Call staff have no manners which is a shame since drivers are generally lovely. Need overhaul of booking system as it clearly doesn't work and people managing it don't understand simple procedures like a pre booked important event shouldn't rely on a previous pick up finishing on time.

Charged £3.60 from my friends house less than a 5 minute walk away. Said it was procedure. I really hope LA dont advertise this. I did ring up and the gentlemen said it was a new tab, a new tab??? To a minute around the corner. I'm sure!!! Avoid!!!

Rude rude rude. Pre ordered cab was 45 mins late and when we made 2nd call to enquire where they were, we were told they had been and gone (we had been waiting outside for it) they then just hung up

When me and my friends were out on a night last weekend we used this taxi firm and we were pleased with the taxi driver he was very polite. I would totally recommend Walker Taxi's!

Office staff within this company do not know how to talk to customers, I ordered a taxi for 8:50 for my girlfriend, it came at 8:35 when I rang to ask him to hold the car, he said no.

Booked taxi to take children to school at 8.15am did not show up till 8.45am. Not reliable will not use again.

I would like the company if their driver who does the regular picks up and drops off in Rowlands Gill area parked in a way whilst doing this, that didn't block the road for all other road users. Due to this drivers continual inability to do this when it is clearly possible, either from laziness or ignorance. I cannot give this firm a good review.

charged twice for the same journey - the taxi driver arguing with you to say you need to pay him - it taking 2 emails and 2 phone calls to get a fare refunded - PLUS NO apology at all for ALL of this AT ALL!!!!

Driver was so rude and aggressive. And when I rand the office the operator was no help at all.

Found LA Taxis to be one of the best in the City would use again.

Thuggish & aggressive drivers

WARNING: JUST GO TO ANY OTHER TAXI COMPANY ! they gave me a price that was below, I even asked the taxi driver about the definite price as soon as i got in as I specifically told him how much i had. When we arrived I disputed it the taxi driver got very aggressive and said I HAD TO GIVE HIM MY PHONE! I finally got someone to lend me the extra £5 and i I LEFT THE TAXI AFRAID, TREMBLING AND IN TEARS when i closed the door. He looked at me and I said I needed my suitcase AND HE DROVE AWAY WITH MY SUITCASE ON PURPOSE! I just arrived from the airport to visit I am only a student and I had little money on me and only had what I was wearing it was 1AM. When I called the company the driver made A FALSE ACCUSATION OF ME SAYING RACIST COMMENTS! I had to get the police involved. It was outrageous and I hope that taxi driver has been fired because despite a few operaters being of no use saying I had to pay for the taxi to bring back my suitcase after hours, I finally had one operator who said she
