### 4/5 — Very friendly and helpful drivers

*2026-04-06, version 5.41*

“The driver assigned to us (Mike) was the most caring, polite and helpful person I’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with and he was well on time and communicated very well with us before arriving. Overall experience very very pleasant indeed. Only downside to this company is their cancellation policy. Once booked, even if it’s 1 month in advance you can’t get a full refund if you change your mind!

### 5/5 — Convenient, reliable, and great driver

*2025-12-28, version 5.38*

We booked a trip from Tower Bridge to Heathrow on Christmas Day when little else was available. The driver was on time and was available by phone to help us find him due to our confusion about the pick up spot. The ride was comfortable with a great view and great conversation. I will definitely use the app again when I travel.

### 5/5 — Great alternative

*2025-12-02, version 5.37*

Really useful and happy I found them.  Worked when no other app would or it was exorbitant cost.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — WOW!

*2025-09-13, version 5.37*

“We used Taxicode multiple times in Glasgow and were always quite impressed our drivers. Especially our last, leaving the city. I managed to drop my phone in the cab and didn’t realize until he drove off. Almost immediately used my wife’s phone to call mine. Took a minute but he answered and volunteered that he’d return it shortly. Had it back in less than five minutes. KUDOS for such excellent service. ”

### 5/5 — Fantastic service

*2025-08-29, version 5.36*

Easy booking. Great communication and would highly recommend

### 5/5 — Reliable service

*2025-08-17, version 5.35*

I’ve booked around a dozen trips using Taxicode for airport/station drop off and pick up and they’ve always been super reliable and got me where I needed to go. App easy to use as well.

### 1/5 — Do not use this app

*2025-08-11, version 5.35*

At no point during the booking process do they tell you there is a cancellation fee - and it is punitive.

My booking wasn’t confirmed and their site told me there was a problem. It let me cancel without any notice of cancellation fee.

They are refusing to refund and I am hundreds out of pocket.

All they do in response to support is quote their terms and conditions. 

Sharp practices, be wary.

### 5/5 — First class service

*2025-07-06, version 5.34*

Couldnt have had better service. Very helpfull both ends of the journey. Driving and communication was perfect

### 5/5 — Ali Glasgow!

*2025-06-30, version 5.34*

Ali was absolutely brilliant! Went above and beyond to make sure we arrived at our destinations! Thanks Ali! Maybe see you in Inverness or (Hi) Fife some day! 😂👍 ”

### 1/5 — Cancelled last minute

*2025-06-10, version 5.34*

I was very disappointed with the service from this app. I was told my return trip was confirmed to and from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the day of my trip. The trip to was perfect but coming back they cancelled my trip about an hour before we were to be picked up causing me a lot of stress since this ride was pre planned In advance for my group of 6. We had to figure out a way home which was a total nightmare. I will never use them again nor recommend them to anyone

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-08-09, version 5.69*

Awful app and company. They changed the vehicle to a lower class than booked without asking. Refused to keep my original booking (but kept the payment). Only when complaining did they offer a discount. I then cancelled, to which they magically offered to keep my original booking and vehicle class. Definitely don’t bother - zero confidence in this scam business. Reading other reviews suggest they might not even turn up.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-07, version 5.69*

No answer from the phone service after numerous attempts. They also deducted the entire fare after cancelling because I couldn’t get through to them. They are an aggregator with extremely poor customer service and a scam. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-19, version 5.68*

Tried booking twice, both bookings were cancelled at the last minute leaving us stranded.  Total waste of time.

### 1/5 — Get an error on registration

*2026-07-17, version 5.68*

Impossible to register

### 1/5 — Terrible experience

*2026-07-13, version 5.68*

Awful service, their website completely messed up two reservations as their mapping program is awful. They made it effectively impossible to can cancel the reservation or change it, never pick up the phone, and I”m still trying to get my money back.

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-06-27, version 5.68*

Tried to demand an extra 30 quid in cash after I’d already paid. Avoid. Just a scam.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2026-06-17, version 5.67*

Confirmed our booking on the app and separately via email. Cancelled 2 days before the trip.

### 1/5 — Really bad experience

*2026-05-22, version 5.42*

I called from the airport letting them know I landed early and asking if there was a chance I could get a taxi earlier, given that I would wait an hour for the booked ride. Bad connection on their side, but they say they will contact the driver and he will call me. After 40 minutes I call again to know what’s happening, even if they can’t get the ride earlier at least they were supposed to call. Same answer on their side other side. After 70 minutes, now we are 10 minutes late on the original booking, I call again and ask them to let me know what’s happening is going on: I still haven’t been called. At this point they say to wait in line, they are contacting the driver. They confirm I’ll get the call soon. I receive the call, it’s the driver asking me where I am because he’s waiting for me! It turns out the driver was never contacted, they just received a message saying the ride is at the original hour. They had been waiting around for the original booking time! And they are calling me spontaneously, not because he’s been prompted by Taxicode (or their subcontractor). Result: I get the ride 20 minutes late for the original booking, after waiting in the airport for 80 minutes. Checking with the driver and the info on the email: Taxicode sucontracted my ride to Miniride (the disastrous customer support), which subcontracted to another local company, which subcontracted to the driver’s company! 4 levels of subcontracting! I’ll never use this company again.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-10-28, version 5.37*

Wish I’d read the reviews earlier, but I had exactly the same experience as many other reviewers. Booked and took payment, even stating it was confirmed and then cancelled last minute leaving me without transport and no refund.

### 1/5 — Would never use again

*2025-08-29, version 5.36*

Would never use again. Paid a small fortune to get the family collected from a wedding. Nobody turned up, nobody answered the phone and we were left stranded miles from anywhere at midnight. No explanation given, just a promise to refund the payment.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fantastic service

*2026-08-23, version 5.69*

The entire experience with this company was excellent. Booking and communications were easy and we were kept in the loop of everything. The driver was friendly and very helpful. The vehicle was immaculate and even kept at the perfect temperature for us all. Definitely recommend 100%

### 5/5 — New User, Amazing 1st Experience

*2026-07-28, version 5.69*

Booking was so easy that I couldn’t mess it up.  I got an instant confirmation and an additional one when my driver was assigned.  Driver was not just on time but earlier, which was great!!!  He was very focused on getting us to the train on time but safely, I didn’t feel endangered or that we were going too fast at any time.  On top of that he was very personable and friendly.  He helped me with my bags on and off and also made sure we knew where to go when he dropped us off so we could get to the station on time (which we got there early, thanks to our driver).  Catching the train was vital for me getting to Heathrow on time and he made it possible when all other public transit wasn’t operating that early (5:30).

### 5/5 — Reliable service

*2026-07-25, version 5.69*

Timely clean polite and reliable driver

### 5/5 — Journey to Oxford

*2026-06-19, version 5.67*

Sharon was a great driver polite thoughtful and was on time and we arrived just 1 minute late on drive of 120 miles even though diverted around Bristol

### 5/5 — Got us out of a sticky situation

*2026-06-17, version 5.67*

We needed a taxi back from a gig and things were not looking good availability wise. 
I put my request into Taxicode and when I woke up in the morning there was a confirmation waiting for me which was a welcome surprise. Very handy app glad I used it

### 5/5 — Excellent service

*2026-05-04, version 5.42*

Well managed service; Malik was well presented, polite and friendly and the car was spotlessly clean. Price was good!

### 5/5 — Great service.

*2026-04-21, version 5.41*

Great service, nice and polite driver. App very easy to navigate. I recommend it to my friends and family.

### 5/5 — Friendly helpful drivers

*2026-04-14, version 5.41*

I used this taxi company to take my mum back to London from Kent. It was reasonably priced, easy to deal with and reliable 
Thank you very much 
Would recommend

### 5/5 — Customer Service

*2026-04-02, version 5.41*

Customer service can only be judged when there is a problem and how the company deals with it. They dealt with the issue very well.

### 5/5 — All on time, good service

*2026-01-21, version 5.39*

The driver Meedan was excellent and had a very nice car, I was lucky enough to get him in both directions. Norfolk to LHR, all was great.
