Taxis in Northampton, Northamptonshire

Took taxi from rank at Northampton to Rothersthorpe. Distance is 5.4 miles yet fare was an eye watering £15.20! Ride was poor and my change was given to me in old "no longer legal tender" £1 coins (I did not realise this because of poor light inside the cab until I returned home). There are plenty of cab companies in Northampton - avoid this one

I have booked a taxi(29.08.2016) for my missus from Duston to the Trainstation. The taxi did not turn up, no one answered the phone. So, she called an other taxi, but its was late already, so she missed her train. This Company is an unreliable crap!

So I call the taxi guy to pick us up, on the phone they said they would be 10 minutes and they ended up being more like half an hour, i also asked them how much it would be and I got a quote of 12 - 13 pounds. I get in the taxi after waiting for bare long and quarter of the way there he asks me how much they said it would be so I said 13£ and he said no, 15 so I was having an argument about why did they guy say 13 on the phone and you come up with 15 (he said even more at first) and he swerves over to the side of the rode and says get out, at this point I had no idea where I was so I was forced to pay more than quoted. This had happened twice now.

Every single morning there is the same taxi driver sitting outside my flat with his hand on the horn and today when we asked him to stop beeping the horn he started swearing at us and threatening me.

Just experienced the most unpleasant trip with one of your drivers. My girlfriend disrespected even though she had done nothing wrong and when I refused to leave until we had received the correct change I was called a f****ng b*****d over and over again. Would rather walk home than get a cab with this embarrassment of a company in future.

This outfit has a contract with the council to collect our son and take him to school and return in the after noon. They are very unreliable, turn up late most days and have not turned up at all on many occasions. The taxi driver was rude to another parent at the school swearing at them and then proceeded to drive off very fast down the road. I could never recommend active cars, other than to use another reputable service.

Driver arrived and drove off within a minute of arriving... Rebooked the taxi, again and the exact same thing happened!! Less than a minute is unacceptable. Called to complain and they wouldn't even send another car, as apparently they called me and it wouldn't connect, so of course its the customers fault!! Never use again!!!

Been excellent and super fast anytime I've needed a taxi, very efficient and reasonable, great thx

Left my phone and wallet in the front seat of the cab the man watched me put it there.. he then sped off and later denied he had the phone or wallet so Ive reported to the police.. nothing they can do This man deserves to be sacked

Great taxi service, will use again

Rude driver, refused to tell me what customer he was waiting for. Then drove off. Called their call centre asking how our 86 year old relative will get home. The reply “I dont care, we waited 10 minutes so the business is gone” Will never use AMBER taxi in Northampton again. Disgusting.

i think I left phone in car.any chance of getting it back !!

Absolutely amazing driver

Used this cab company while at an event in Sywell Drivers friendly and on time used for 4 journeys while there

They did not turn up to pick up my elderly parents. When I called to as ask where they were they had no booking - I think I spoke to the same rude woman who took my initial booking earlier! They're useless

Rude drivers and booking staff.

I reserved a journey with this mini cab firm but they stood me up. They never arrived. When I phoned to ask where they were first they said: We'll be there in 10 minutes. Then when I phoned again they said they had no record of my reservation. No apology. To make it worse, it was pouring with rain...

I would never recommend this company they take your money up front take bookings for pickups they cannot fulfil arrive 2 1/2 hours late to pick you up with a driver that falls asleep at the wheel. Stay well clear!!

In mid October at 8pm I desperately needed a taxi from Northampton - Lincoln. I do not know Northampton, and I was in Lincoln. I had been ringing round for 1 hour. The passenger was very poorly suffering from a virus and needed to get home. County cars accepted this job at a very reasonable rate, where others had refused. The driver was caring and safe and I cannot thank this person enough. I cannot recommend County Cars more highly and thank them deeply for their service.

I would never recommend and I will continue to write bad reviews after I had a trip miles away from home and booking was messed about. When I called to resolve I was met by the rudest call operator I have ever known. He hung up on me 3 times despite me not swearing or shouting and told me it wasn't his problem don't book them if I don't like it. I never intend to use them again.

Great cabs here always can trust them! Always on time :)
