Always on time. 90% of drivers very helpful and friendly. 10% lack patience to let you get your seat belt on before taking off. Call handlers always excellent. Would recommend this service. Keep 6p the good work everyone.

It was very comfortable nice trip. Very good and friendly conversation with the driver. The driver arrived 5 minutes before, we reached our destination on time without rush.
The car was clean, no any unpleasant or smoking smell.

Thank you the driver Alexander. It was excellent experience.

The call center stuff was very efficient and clear, picked up the cook quickly, so I didn’t have to wait in the line.

Would use this service again for sure.

Fantastic service by a long, established taxi company. I have had the pleasure of being a customer of Rainbow City Taxis for many years. My journey home tonight was excellent. It was my first experience as a passenger in a Tesla car...the driver was very professional and a very friendly lady who took the time to talk to me. The car was beautiful, clean and comfortable...100% service, thank you very much.

After a very long journey from the south and missing my connecting train the driver not only got me home safely but reassured me regularly. The roads were not the best but he drove carefully and even stopped to check on 2 drivers who were stuck. He then made sure I got in my home safely. Excellent service, great driving and very considerate driver.

Everytime I phone a taxi for me and my wife who is in a wheelchair. They don't even want to take the call. They all ways say fully booked does not matter the time. Absolutely shocking. But the problem is they are not the only taxis firm that do it.

Absolutely miserable and unprofessional driver that picked us up tonight. I'd rather walk than use this company again.

Terrible customer service. I’ve been using rainbow 3 times a week to pick up my fathers prescription and then taken back home. The driver rudely said I better leave money in the car cos I might do a runner! I had already told the dispatcher I was paying by card. The driver then said that I ‘should always have cash on me’. The is the first time in 5 weeks a driver has asked me to leave money in the car. I mean where was I going to go? it was an enclosed shopping centre in bridge of don! Also he picked me from my house so he knew where I lived. I suffer from major anxiety and found the whole

Two bad experiences, both times 15-20min late. The second time I had to catch a flight and the girl on the phone told me that it's up to me if i still want the taxi or not after being 10mim late already. At least the drivers are very nice and polite. They need to do something with the time management.

Took the booking. Turned up on time. Took us to requested drop off. Offered to take card or cash - whichever suited us. No attitude when we didn't have cash to add tip. Totally professional. Thumbs up Rainbow. Will call them first next time (first company tried wasn't taking bookings)!

Always on time, taxi drivers really polite and friendly. But sometimes it’s better book in advance because they are a busy company.

Poor customer service. Took a taxi this afternoon from Aberdeen beach and the taxi driver was so rude. Wasn’t polite or helpful at all.
