Taxis in OL8

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?

I understand this is a small company (not sure how small it is now that they have merged with "Swift") & I understand sometimes things can go wrong. I work at The Alexander Club and have done so for about five years. I've been using A2B for about six years in total and after tonight-I will not be using them ever again. Each time I finish work, I call for a taxi stating where I am-outside The Alexander OPPOSITE THE PRINCE OF ORANGE. Sometimes I just ask for the taxi opposite The Prince of Orange and don't mention The Alexander Club because they never send it there. However, on NUMEROUS occasions they send the taxi to the wrong place. And I'm stood waiting. For ages. I ALWAYS have to call again at least once. I'm always left waiting around 20 minutes. I told the driver tonight that I may have to stop using the taxi firm and his DISGUSTING response was "Whatever". Horrible service and tonight the driver just drove me over the edge with his pathetic response. That was after I tipped him!

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.

I booked the taxi through the app and it showed me £17,80 when I got to my destination they asked me for £35... very bad costumer service so disrespectful! Definitely dont recommend

Don't use this company. I booked on the app for hours before I needed the taxi and the time I wanted it for a doctors appointment. It didn't show up and the idiot who answered the phone was plain rude. I used these to travel to see my mum in Cheadle, but they have now lost my business.

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

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.

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!!!!

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

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

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

My mum was stood 45 minutes for a taxi with my niece age 6 and my nephew age 4 in the rain, taxi finally arrived and refused to take them because they was WET!! if I could rate 0 stars I would this was an absolute joke!! Black Toyota Prius if your the driver, I hope you break down and no one helps you, you inconsiderate A hole!!

They were 30 minutes late and didnt even apologise. Also the driver was very rude I will never use there service again it cost £44 and didnt even show up on time. When returning I got an Uber instead it was £23 and the driver was very kind. So save your money and use Uber instead.

I have no idea how this joke of a company is still in business, I get a taxi every evening at the same local, I ring in enough time so that Im not waiting too long. Tonight was the final straw, i rang the automated service said my taxi would be there in 1 minute, 5 mins later Im still waiting despite the fact that I had already been waiting 15mins. So I called the back to idiot on the phone what the automated response kept saying the next minute the jobs worth Is shouting at me like Im some under thumb inferior wife because I wasnt let him get away with fobbing me off. Then I get in the taxi and the driver is trying to tell me he has to go the long way round to get to me like that is my problem and he continues to argue with me. These people are probably use to women putting up and shutting up when theyre in the wrong. Joke of a firm. People if you want a decent taxi firm that arrives on time ring z cars.

Prebooked a taxi at half 1 for it to arrive at work for 4pm. Its now 4:50pm and I am still waiting for a taxi after it getting cancelled because the driver “couldnt find me” when my work place has a neon orange sign that cant be missed. This happens every single day.

what a wonderful taxi driver,....must say one of the nicest drivers I have met......will definitely book gmx cabs again.......he was kind, curtesous.....and will definitely book again....

Booked mini bus to The Airport. Lovely polite operator Very helpful . Mini bus turned up bang on time . Really nice helpful driver. Mini bus was lovely & clean too. Would definitely use their service again. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Crap taxi firm never come on time and when book they say 5 mins but dont come till half and hour and when you ring Back to ask they get aggressive told them owner many times he doesnt care either. Rather pay £1 extra and use another firm.

Great service. Drivers are prompt and polite. Highly recommended!

I ordered a taxi came within few mins which is pretty good be using these again

Never ever ring this taxi firm they are racist perverts all drive using there mobile phones no care to weather they crash or cause and not one of these driver's know any English threatening behaviour it's disgusting so if you don't want any of this do not book this firm
