Booked a cab on 11th Dec over an hour before we needed it. All accepted by the App and got a confirmation email.
When the Taxi was 10 minutes LATE I rechecked the App, they had cancelled.
No call to tell us, No notification from the App, No email to let us know. Tried to ring them, No Answer and a bland message saying to use the App. Left a Facebook Message for them, which they read and have not replied to over 12 hours later. This almost ruined a 60th Birthday Celebration and thanks to a kind neighbor we made it out. Thank goodness it wasn't anything urgent !!
This goes way beyond poor service

I have used this cab firm years but recently have found this cab company extremely expensive. I booked a cab to take me less than a mile, with i one drop off along the way. The drop off was en route and no deviations was needed to "drop off" he didn't even need to park. I was charged £9.50 for this journey which normally costs £6-£7. I shan't be using this cab firm again nor recommending them to my friends.

I tried to book last night to get a ride home from town. When giving our address to be picked up, the gentleman on the phone was extremely rude, saying we weren't giving a proper address then hanging up on me. I tried to call back but he wouldn't answer the phone to us. We called another taxi company (Five Sevens), gave the operator the exact same address we'd given All the 8's, and all was perfectly fine and we were picked up in the next 5 minutes. Will not be using them ever again.

Lately this company has become increasingly unreliable. Had a taxi pre-booked at 3pm for 1am at 00.55 they decided to cancel the taxi…!! If they don’t have enough drivers they should not take existing bookings as they know already what they have booked. Always feel that this company/ taxi drivers pick what rides they want if more profitable….do not use if you want to get picked up in the evening!

Booked taxi via app 24 hrs in advance, only to receive a cancellation call 5 mins before they were due to pick my daughter and myself up. Left us stranded with no alternative options. Shocking service. Cant wait for Uber to come to Colchester and displace these type of unprofessional firms.
Service: Limousines

Needed a taxi sorted in Colchester and called up the night before. The reciever picked up with a 'Yeah?' and then bluntly told me to ring back in the morning to book instead.
I called back next morning with 2 hours notice, and booked my taxi in. Again, very awkward and difficult service from the operator, presumably they do want to have customers? The taxi was seemingly late, so I called to check where it was. The operator didn't remember my call, and said I hadn't booked a taxi, even though I definitely had. The next one available was a 30minute wait.
I booked straight away instead with a different

Booked a cab for 6 people at 1:40. It was my kids birthday and asked for a van taxi. The party was booked for 2pm. Taxi turned up 30 minutes late for only room for 4. Ridiculous service do not use. Horrible staff. If you want to be late use this bad service
