Booked Ashbourne Taxis for a collection from East Midlands Airport, usually pay 45 from other taxis firms.
Ashbourne charged 60,00. Certainly would not recommend without getting a fixed price first.

Left stranded in the middle of nowhere. I booked a taxi to pick us up from tissington hall at 11.30pm, we had been at a wedding. They never showed up, I called them and they said they had no record of our booking, but I spoke to a taxi driver, a brummie, in the afternoon and he confirmed the booking.. we were left stranded 10 miles from our hotel. I wouldn't recommend

I was charged 35 for a 7 mile journey, did not tell us the price when we asked Muhammad Saleem up front. He was very rude when we asked him to justify his pricing. I would never use this firm and our hotel were staggered when we told them of our experience. Please do not use this firm.
