### 3/5 — Adam

*2026-03-26, version 5500.8*

App failed - it gave the wrong default address at the correct property - I changed it manually but the system didn’t update. Called the operator who said they would ask the driver to call me - he was only 100m down the road BUT didn’t.  I missed a really important meeting. And they wonder why Uber is winning!

### 1/5 — Late, very late, avoid

*2025-12-15, version 5500.3*

Useless, I’ve used this taxi service a few times before . Always on time , no issues.
The last few weeks have been awful , I book a taxi for 8.15am , it arrives at 9am, same the next day .

I used the service again today to try them again , booked taxi for 8.20am, it arrived at 9.11am

Just pathetic , I’ll be using a different service from now on , not even a refund offered.
Avoid

### 1/5 — Dishonest Company

*2025-07-15, version 3335.1.6*

Booked a taxi using the app from Greasby to Lime Street Station, Liverpool . Fare came up to be around £25 on the app was used a save25 promo code  for a 25 percent discount. Fare came down to around £19. Booked and paid using Apple Pay. Receipt received told me the charge was £22.15. Called the company and was told the fare before discount was about £29, so i was charged correctly! The fare of £29 and the charge of£ 22.15 never appeared on the app when fare was quoted and booking was made! Beware! What a scam and an dishonest company!
