Booked for transport back after my daughter's wedding but failed to arrive. Over 30 minutes late left waiting in the cold in th ine the middle of the countryside. Rang to find out what was happening and initially told would be a couple of minutes away but still failed to turn up 15 mins later rang again controller on phone very rude and unprofessional. Driver was very polite and for that reason have 2 stars not one. Would never recommend or use again.

Very reliable and friendly. They send you prompt messages of the type of car due to pick you up plus the number plate of the vehicle. Reasonable price too.

Good service,
However I would pre book well in advance if you want a taxi as there is a shortage of drivers right across the board in the york area which to be fair isn't the companies fault.

What exactly can they get away from?
You would still be waiting for your taxi after the police had made a full investigation.
Ordered a taxi with an hours advance notice in the middle of the day, still waiting 20 minutes after the agreed time to be told ‘your drivers not far away’….another 10 minutes go by and still no driver. Got an Uber instead.

Amazing experience, Ian picked us up from Wheatlands to take us to the train station, had an emergency at home and needed to get home to Scotland quickly. Very professional service.
