Taxis in OL3

Rubbish!!!I navigate driver and he charged me £3 more!!! Don't call them,just stealing money!!!

Further to my last message - train station, by the way, not training - the traffic was remarkably quiet in both directions. So they were lying through their back teeth (if they have any).

Ordered taxi for 3.30 from training station. Waited for 15 mins. Phoned and told unloading. They said would get driver to phone. I phoned again 10 mind later. Told he was stuck in traffic and another twenty minutes. Useless and rude staff. My family and I use to use service a lot. Last several times they've been late and unapologetic. Will never use them again.

Absolutely shambolic service. Taxi ordered the previous day to go to Manchester piccadillly. Didnt turn up kept being told it was 2 minutes away. Had to keep phoning as they still hadnt arrived 20 minutes later. Asked for a reduced fare if they did eventually arrive got £2 off!!! Then was so worried I wouldnt make the train asked if they would refund the train ticket if I missed it. They said they might refund part of the price!!!i said I would expect a full refund if I missed the train. Ive nit missed part of the journey. Then to cap it all I heard another operator talking to my so called taxi driver who was supposed to be with me by this time 15 minutes ago saying well shes kicking off what wonderful customer service!!!!!! Never again will I use the company. Have used it for nearly 20 years to go to the airport but they have definitely lost a valued customer and I will be positively encouraging others to avoid this DREADFUL taxi company.

My friend and I used Cartax to pick me up from Manchester airport. The plane was slightly delayed. I wandered round the airport lounge looking for the taxi driver, to no avail. Normally taxi drivers identify themselves but he was no where to be found. I eventually found him by WHSmith and when I told him who I was. He said to me 'you were lucky, I was just about to leave'. What would I have done then?

Have used this service for a long time, quality has gone down a lot recently. Driver 74 was confrontational and rude. Told him to wait a second to let us take the groceries inside, he started putting our food all over the road. Today we were waiting at the end of a street, he drives right past us even though we wave him down and starts arguing when we finally catch up. He was given the wrong address but we did correct the mistake with the taxi service and he shouldve seen us waving.

Do not touch this comapny with a bargepole. Have used them often for years, however they have a guy (think his taxi number is 388) who refused to let us pick up some coins that were dropped onto the taxi floor. He said 'it's in my cab, so it's mine'. Now whenever we phone Delta Cars, if he turns up, he puts two fingers up, and drives off . We then have to wait for another taxi. How this guy still has a licence is beyond me! Avoid at all costs.This issue is currently being dealt with by Oldham Council.

Taxi driver lied to us and got other people in his taxi and lied to our faces and said that it was for another person. Rang him 3/4 times and ignored my phone call. Worst taxi service Ive ever had I ever had I recommend cartax instead.

Terrible and unreliable - waste of time.

Excellent taxi firm. I have used them for about 20 years at least once a week. Never had any bad experience with them. Always punctual, efficient, friendly, polite, helpful. Fares very reasonable and compare favourably with other taxi companies. Highly recommended.

Never ever will I use swift taxes in Stalybridge absolutely disgusting taking £10 off my 14-year-old daughter when it was supposed to be a £4 taxi journey the woman on the desk is absolutely rude and needs to get a new job I will never ever use this taxis firm ever again and will be telling everyone I no not to!

Very trusty, the only taxi firm my grandad used before he passed and the only taxi firm I trust.

The cheapest and most efficient taxi company i have ever dealt with. I would never use anyone else, keep up the good work guys A*****

Ordered a minibus and a taxi as we specifically needed it for a school trip I was organising, they said this would be no problem. Sent three taxis which meant we had to take three members of staff instead of two as we legally have to have a staff member in each vehicle. This is why we ordered a minibus and a taxi. This meant we were late for our event as we were short of lifts. Rang Swift and they were rude, unhelpful and weren't interested in assisting us. We will NOT be using them again. There are plenty of other decent taxi companies you can use round here.

Unreliable prats, dont use ever

Terrible, worst taxi service ever Driver was falling asleep, he was an hour late Speeding on the motorway Doesnt deserve a star

Excellent service school run. Drivers are helpful and provide a service which is expected from a firm. Well done

It was a rainy day we have two children aged 2 and 4. We were visiting a farm and were taken to the station. When we arrived the driver did not help me take out our bags from the boot but complained how dirty his car was. He started to clean the seats and did not stop the meter, so it has charged us an extra pound till he finished with the cleaning. First of all, we took reasonable care to keep the car as clean as possible. Obviously the wellies would have leave some muddy spots and it was not a big deal. Secondly, it should have been expected by the driver. Thirdly, he should have stopped the meter when we arrived. Fourthly. if he was so keen of his car, he should have put some protection when he arrived on a rainy day on a farm and seeing two small children popping into his car. Fifthly, he should have clean the car after he unpacked our bags and we paid for trip. Lastly, he never should complain in front of a happy customer. Now he has missed the extra tip.

I have been using this taxi firm for 2 years would recommend to everyone.

Very cheap nice cars and clean very polite staff

Left phone in Cab three days before Christmas. The Firm were useless and Claimed they couldnt track my driver despite me having ring camera footage of exact drop off time and a transaction to prove payment. I lost all my photos of my daughter as a baby and the phone has clearly been stolen. Do not use!

Taxi was getting on a bit but still a good smooth ride from a safe driver much appreciated late at night when your tired.

Excellent service to and from the airport. I wont be travelling with any other company from now on. Both drivers were lovely.

Booked a taxi 3 hours in advance. It was late by 10 mins. Called only to be told it will be another 20 mins. Told time is of the essence and they are in breach of contract. Not happy. I will never use this firm again.

Appalling service pre booked weeks ago for party off 11 to rail station to get train for sightseeing trip to London they stated would send minibus and car ,when booked , minibus never turned up so lost out on all train fares and sightseeing excursion tour nearly thousand quid or more now ignoring all contact for compensation don't use them they are cowboys

Appalling Never turned up Do not use these jokers.

Appalling service, don't use this company if you pre-book and expect your cab to turn up. I booked a 7 seater cab a week in advance to bring us home from a family dinner. When it failed to turn I rang the base and was told it would be over an hour late because all the cabs were in Manchester. I said that was unacceptable because I had a pre-booking and was told that if I had rung up for my taxi then I would have been told it would be an hour - but I had pre-booked !!!! I was given the option of two cabs but when I asked if they would honour the confirmed fare for the 7 seater I was told that I would have to pay more for both taxis. We eventually managed to get another company to send us a mini bus. Having read other recent reviews it seems this is a common occurrence.

Absolutely appalling service. Booked a taxi for 5:45pm to the airport. No one turned up. We rang at 6pm as they're 15 minutes late - no one answered - the phone was out of service or being hung up on me! We have had to ask a neighbour to take us last minute running 25 minutes late in rush hour traffic! Wouldn't even give this unreliable company one star if I didn't have to!

Ordered a taxi for dental appointment taxi did not turn up when phones told dint have one available I booked this over a week ago

Just refused to take me from Etihad stadium to Longsight saying that they not covering this area. Etihad stadium is in Ashton! I can't trust this company anymore.

Just to let you know I frequently use radio cabs and the journey this evening from Stockport road to Hartshead, pickup at 11.13 was really something to write home about! The taxi itself was clean and well maintained and the driver was polite and courteous and efficient, he assisted me in and out of the taxi which due to arthritis can be a chore for me. All in all, it was a pleasure riding with him. Full marks well deserved. Thank you.

Ordered a mini bus from Burlington street given full address on the phone tonight and was waiting outside.. when we got a call saying it's out side when it was not.. It didn't even turn the right way and went to holy trinity church on Burlington street .. so we phoned up and when they finally answered the phone they said it's been cancelled because know 1 was outside.. so ordered it again and we was watching his just saying up the road.. saying he was out side when not.. so phoned again and he turned round and came down the road and his way of talking down to us telling us it was not Burlington street were we was and telling me I don't know my own address that I've lived at for over 10 years.. I told him we told u the address if u haven't been told it then it's not our problem... so my granddaughter was to afraid to go in the taxi.. so we cancelled it and went some where else... I will never use them again xx disgraceful the shouldn't even get a 1 star...

Taxis are overpriced in my opinion, however at least this one was on time ..

Startax/Embassy/Z Cars or whatever you are calling yourselves today, you are absolutely disgraceful, we are stuck at the airport and being refused a taxi because your driver cant explain where he is, and this is a huge car park/a huge airport, both of us are Asthmatic, Ive already had an incident today due to how cold it is, and being sent on a wild goose chase around Manchester airport car parks, is not my idea of good customer service. I use your taxi firm all the time, and our pub puts a lot of business your way, and I cannot believe the way I have just been spoken to, when I tried to rebook a cab, my Husband was getting frustrated on the previous call as your driver wasnt making any sense at all. But to accuse ME of swearing is not only untrue, but an insult, the operator I spoke to refused to send another cab and hung up on me! Disgusting! I will be using a different firm from now on! #rude #ignorant #uncaring

I asked for an estimated price, gave my post code and was told my trip will be £20, when I got in the taxi the driver said no to me giving him a post code after which I had to give him directions on how to get to my destination at half 4am when it was pitch black. I was then charged £34.20, after contacting the department I was told it was maybe my mistake, maybe theirs. I am absolutely appalled at the state of the service I was provided with, no apology, the driver said nothing. I will never be using this taxi service again.

ABSOLUTELY USELESS, nearly half an hour waiting is not "couple minutes".

Awful service. Worst taxi company ever. Taxi driver would not pick me up from the correct airport arrival terminal despite my booking. Airport runs and pick ups by Tiger are a big con in the way they are presented to customers. Tiger do not care nor listens to customer feedback, disgraceful service and an embarrassment to British Pakistanis all round....I can say for sure as I am British Pakistani

Worst Taxi company ever

Great honest firm great service

The Landlady of my local pub booked me a taxi home as I was a bit worse for wear following a funeral. I was unable to pay the fair of £2 so this firm send a very rude message to the Landlady , said I had done a runner( I am a 55 year old disabled lady) and the police were being called. I was going to apologise but for £2 and a drunken mistake I think they could have just put a note through my door where he dropped me off

We had booked return. Written out all detais and to office Landsdowne Rd. On return pick up @ airport, rang ok be with you shortly. Waited half an hour, rang again..on his way, rang again ,no answer , after 1hour arrived. Text I'm on carpark. Where ? On carpark, but where ? We are outside arrivals with cases. Can you come over ? No not allowed, I'm on Carpark. We went over, walked up and down. Text him. What colour and make of car ? No answer. Finally located, by this time freezing cold 2-30 am in Jan. Disabled husband. I asked for help with cases in car....not allowed.Together we struggled to get cases in car. I said the service is terrible. Driver said I don't need to take you, don't be abusive to me.Terrible experience. DON'T USE THEM. NO STARS

Taxi stunk of weed I don't mind people smoking it in their own time home whatever but when a taxi turns up stinking strongly of weed when I have kids with is n absolute joke

Punctuality is not a word this firm is familiar with..Nor can drivers read simple sat nav directions . I to walk down a unlit narrow lane for forty five mins and driver could not find Standege foot road and he lived in Marsden

Awful company. Booked an airport taxi for 05:15. Received confirmation. Called night before to triple check - no answer Called in the morning pre and post arrival time - no answer Taxi never showed up. Had to drive to Airport as couldn't miss flight for work. AVOID
