If you want to get a taxi in Canterbury don't use these. Awful customer service, shouting at me when I tried to book a taxi and then cut me off the phone. Proper wasteman taxi firm who clearly don't care about who they are hiring.

Thank you very much for an excellent service. We made two bookings. The first booking, our train journey got delayed by three hours and half. Despite that, our driver, who was waiting for us, was very helpful. There was no problem in communicating with him. A car was arranged for us on our arrival and we reached safely our destination. The second booking was for the following morning. Our driver, who was also very professional and courteous, took a different route to avoid the morning traffic and brought us on time for our appointment. Very pleased with this service, couldn't be any happier.
