Great service and their mobile app is really impressive. Quick and intuitive to use. Gives you an estimate cost before booking and you can pay by card or Google, Android or Apple Pay. And you get alerts when your cab has arrived and emailed receipt after. Which is great for when I claim expensive from my company. Would recommend and will always book this way. Thanks Pete

When I told them the booking was for Weeton they told me they refuse to take me, I rang back and asked them for a booking to Lytham and they said it be less than five minutes. They refused a 25 fair or because of where I wanted to go

Ordered a taxi with Whiteside taxis while on holiday, in the local area the call centre staff were excellent and very informative and advised I pre booked my taxis to make sure there prompt. Drivers are well dressed and cars are very clean also very friendly and and use the best route to keep costs down and get you to your destination efficiently. I would highly suggest this company to anybody. If your wanting a professional taxi service Whiteside taxis is the way to go! Airport transfers also are easy to book using the online web booker. They picked us up and took us back. With no issues, 5

We booked during the day for pick-up later in the day and agreed everything. Called them 15 mins prior to being picked up, to confirm and check ETA only to be told they couldn't honour the booking as they were busy and didn't have enough vehicles. Although apologetic (hence 2 stars and not 1) it meant we missed our dinner reservation. Really unfair that they accepted a booking, didn't show and ruined our evening. We've never had this problem with C-Cabs or other Blackpool taxis and we will never use Whiteside again, I suggest you don't trust them either, especially if its for something important
