Taxis in OL5

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

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...

APPEAL to everyone !!! Watch out for A2B TAXI drivers !!! Taxi drivers cheat and extort money from the passener, they make special mistakes or eat badly or change the route to a long route and you can expect to pay 3 timesas much,I definitely do not recommend this company !

Unreliable and poor customer service even tho the driver was good the operator was ru bish at his job as he got me late even tho I ordered taxi 25 min prior to my shift it tuck them 30mins to get to me. Disgusting operator lies about booking and eta.

cheap taxis reliable service always on time, safe drivers love a2b best in oldham for taxis

CHEAP TAXIS IN OLDHAM, GOOD DRIVERS LOVE A2B CARS OLDHAM

great service highly recommend people who dont like them use another company as these are good lads i rather be in these taxis then any other

Booked a taxi last night to get come from my parents. Text message received to say look out fir white toyota auris. Waited outside also received automated call to state my car had arrived and i was waiting where the car should have been. Taxi was a "no show" and i ended up having to walk home. Terrible poor service i feel as a single woman left stranded

Utter rubbish. Female travelling alone. Ordered a can for 10pm from the train station. By 10:30pm the taxi still hadnt arrived. I called a neighbour to come and get me. Poor poor service. Rang them at 10:30 to politely cancel my taxi to be told ok. Will not use ever ever again.

Ordered a minibus for 12pm . Turned up 20mins late then had to stop to refuel further delaying journey. Best advice- if you need to be somewhere on time, order for half hour before you need to get there. Better still- AVOID THESE AMATUERS COMPLETELY !!!

I really dont understand how this company only has 2 stars. I always get Cavalier and use them at least 2 times a week for various things as I cant drive and often wake up late for work. Their drivers are friendly and are almost always here within 10 minutes of booking. Ive only ever had 1 real issue with cavalier since I started using them 3 years ago and the operators sorted my issue out almost immediately. Overall, a brilliant service

Always use Cavalier Cars when I visit for work. Always on time and drivers always very helpful. Cheap pricing too.

Terrible, person who picks up the phone is abrupt and completely disregards what you told him then the driver takes you to another planet.

Booked weeks in advance on the way to the venue was fine on return was told to ring to arrange a time the driver did not answer. Rang the company at 11:20 for 00:00 return who said they would send someone. Rang the company at 00:10 to be told they could not contact driver so there was nothing they could do. Claimed because I had only booked at 11:20 it was not there problem although no one had informed us the minibus was not coming it was now 00:20. Ignoring the fact we had booked return weeks in advance. Very unreliable had to book taxis from different company to get 14 people home.

Terrible service terrible company

Very helpful staff lost my purse with all my personal belongings and the staff were really helpful and got it back for me well done chadderton cars 10/10 thanks so much

Service with No Patience!! And rude receptionist who takes calls

Very rude driver. Took the longest possible route. I was sick after the ride.

Picked up 3 times this week. First 2 times was same driver, lovely and courteous. Today picked up and windows fully down and soon realised that the driver had a very strong smell of cannabis. Professional drivers smoking drugs then collecting fare payers?! Disgusting!! Will not be using again.

Used this taxi firm a couple of times.Drivers rude,watching YouTube videos whilst driving,swearing infront of my young daughter. Disgraceful unprofessional behaviour

Very dirty cars,I will not want anyone to use this firm.

Very slow servive and expensive

Terrible and unreliable - waste of time.

Change extra 2 pounds for asking for an estate car to put a wheelchair in the boot discrimination against the disabled disgusting

I would give them no stars really. First driver went to the wrong address. They eventually found me, but the car was dirty and smelled. I ended up getting our before my destination and walked the rest in the rain. Utter garbage company.

Awfull service

Used this company before over 10 years. And will never ever use them again. Charging me an extra 2.00 cause they sent an estate car. Ridiculous.

Awful experience with this taxi company, we were left stranded for an hour in the middle of the night in Manchester. We kept calling asking for an update but were just told 'oh another 10 minutes' after an hour of this we cancelled the taxi and went with Uber. Wish we had done that in the first place but the hotel we were staying at recommended Lime Line. Will never use them again.

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.

Ordered a taxi at 8.06 for 9am as had an appointment at 9.15!! Taxi turned up at 9 25am!! No apology!!!!!shocking missed my appointment!!!

Worst of the worst close them down

My mum rang this number to order a 7 seater taxi they said it was unavailable so she rang a different taxi number assuming it was a different taxi service and asked for a 7 seater again. Turns out the other number was there number aswell and the man was very very very rude to her raising his voice saying we've already told u once we don't have a 7 seater why u calling again. My mum apolgised and hung up. Both numbers were 0161628700/01616241212. I'm very angry at the way my mum was spoken to and immediately ordered her a taxi from limeline who were so helpful and informative. Avoid at all cost!!!!

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

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!

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

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.

Just got a phone call from this number claiming to be from a housing association, sounded very fishy the questions she was asking, beware !!!!!

Awful company. Lazy drivers, arrogant operators. AVOID !!!!

Pre Booked this company for 7th February turned up extremely late after several phone calls and numerous lies they then had the audacity to rip me off for a fare that is never normally more than £4.00 they charged me £12.20 then when I phoned to speak to the Manager (Keith) I was told he was out of office but they would get him to call me that evening or first thing the next morning (8th February 2022) it's now (16th February 2022) and I still await his call yet another lie!! If I could give this company zero stars I would so please please please avoid them at all cost they are lying, unreliable thieves

The most disorganised taxi company in Manchester. Booked a taxi and told it would arrive in 20 minutes. 30 minutes later told it was 4 minutes away. 40 minutes later again told it was 4 minutes away. The receptionist said he was "stationary at Smithfield Market and didnt know why". 3rd phone call another rude receptionist said there was nothing she could do. always seems to be the same with this company. Don't know why they can't be honest and say it will be 40 mins. Only given 1 star as wont let post with 0 star. Cancelled Taxi and booked with Tameside Cabs who arrived promptly as promised.

The most unreliable, clueless, bad mannered collection of incompetents Ive ever had the misery of dealing with! Just a lift at a certain time pre/ booked for weeks and they cant even keep to that!!! Leave them alone and let them go bust!!!!!!! Do NOT rely on this shower!!!

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.
