Ratings and reviews

Tried to use this for a pre-booked taxi into Edinburgh. Nowhere during the booking process did it say you didn't actually get a booking for that time specified. If this had been for a flight, you could miss your connection, so don't use them. Called the number for assistance 10minutes after taxi was due, was assured initially that there would be someone within 15-20 minutes if not sooner. You guessed it, nothing. so called again, when they fessed that the booking is meaningless. Don't use.

Really unreliable. I pre ordered a taxi 3 days in advance in order to go to the airport - after running more than half an hour late I just called a cab through Bolt and it came in 3 mins. All through the process I called 3 times and each time the help desk told me it would be 5 mins but it never came. Dont bother to use this app....

The app usually works OK, but I'm fed up getting drivers that don't know where anywhere is. Using GPS for a 1 mile trip is ridiculous. The other thing is, even when you use the app to order you still get a text saying "Next time why not use our app". Irritating.
