Terrible service, I called and booked the taxi go to my friends wedding, got confirmation via text it was booked with reference number and no one turned up. I then called to ask if they were running late to be told there is no booking and for them to have no record of my reference number sent by their companies name.
Wont be using them again.

We have used Yelo Taxis on a few occasions over the past year. A couple of trips to Stansted airport and other local bits and bobs. However, last night they outshone themselves. A return trip was booked, on their phone app. So easy to use and to pay in advance and I have no objection to that as the are so reliable. At exactly the booked time my phone told me that the taxi was outside and described the car (very safe if it's a single female travelling). Friendly driver who drove us to the restaurant safely and swiftly. We left the restaurant at the time booked for the taxi. As we left my phone
