Gone downhill

Black taxi drivers overcharge. You literally have to get evidence by asking for physical receipt or take a picture of meter. If you pay direct, email receipt is still wrong. Customer service is non-existent. Takes over 2 months to get a reply and they have zero clue!

Great driving professional

Super ride! We had a great conversation all along the trip. Quick pickup and efficient all the way.

Cool and clean

Great AC and smelled nice

First timer

Very easy to use!!!

Scammy interface that tricks customers. Terrible AI chat bot customer service

I suspect my last 1* review was deleted at Freenow’s request as it’s gone. The app presents options designed to trick customers into not cancelling when drivers cannot be found (button says “would you like to continue search?” but does so anyway even if you don’t click yes. This sort of interface doesn’t happen by accident). Then customer service… AI chat bot says it will refer to human but then doesn’t… nearly two weeks later and no response so had to reverse the charge through credit card.

Driver is amazing!

John was the best driver we had so far!!

Love this app

Being able to summon a black cab when I need one has been a game changer!

Zero support in crisis

I would never use this company again after receiving absolutely zero support when the taxi we were in broke down on the freeway in Athens halfway to the airport to catch a flight. I contacted the help option in the app & asked for help. All I got was there stupid chat bot promising me someone will be in touch soon. I got no further responses. Better off with uber.

Shahzad is a wonderful driver

Shahzad showed up on time and carried all our heavy luggage!

Freenow

App should not be called Freenow my trip was expensive

Awful experience

I booked a taxi from the airport and paid. All was fine and awaited driver details. Baring in mind the taxi was booked for just after midnight so very few other options. It kept me hanging until the time I booked and I waited for 40mins. Then final told me no driver available! What a joke. Will delete the app and never use again. Left stranded in the middle of the night

Easy to use and accurate

Have been using this app for four years and so far have never had an issue with it. The drivers arrive where it says they will and on time and the prices have been accurate.

What a con!

They require you to pen your credit card to you then rip you off! Unreliable and untrustworthy!

Scam app

Every single time I have booked a trip with this app. An hour or two later I get hit with an extra 10-20 euro charge for no reason. I’d appreciate if you guys would tell me in advance of the final price instead of giving me a 12 dollar euro when booking and an extra 28 euro on top of what I paid after I get dropped off. Scammers!!

Freenow

Great service always on time

Pointless

Drivers all use Uber simultaneously and despite saying drivers are minutes away it’s impossible to get a ride accepted when Uber is on surge

Great ride

On time and polite

Easy, fast, safe

Very easy, installed and set up to do payments when still in Australia, before my trip to Italy. Worked perfectly in Rome and quick to get drivers.

Great service

Very nice gentleman! Very helpful

Confusion and charged money without my consent

My first time using this app the driver showed up in a car that was not listed on the app so it was confusing trying to locate my driver. Then, second time I used the app my driver canceled on me and I was automatically assigned a new driver that cost me an extra 11€, without me approving the charge.
