Absolutely useless. Booked a car in advance needed for a train and they arrived 20 minutes late after changing the drivers 3 times

Booked a cab more than a day in advance for an airport pickup. My flight was delayed by 30mins. Driver didnt show and no messages were left on my phone so obviously no attempt was made to reach me. I provided my flight number so they could track its status.
Called them up on arrival and the operator didnt know where the cab was, or if it had been and left. Offered no apology and put the phone down on me. Some are claiming they received updates of where their driver was and a picture of their driver. None of this was provided to me, not even a booking confirmation text.

Fantastic airport transfer service. The driver was on time and I was given accurate updates of his whereabouts. I was even sent a photo of my driver. Excellent service all around. Thank you.

Booked on their website a month before cab was needed - called a few days before the booking & they had no record on their system. No apology, totally disinterested. First time trying to use them and won't bother doing so again.

4am Airport Transfer booked over 24 hrs in advance, and double checked time with and address with a call the night before. 4:05, no sign, told 3-4 minutes. Then I get a confirmation text from Station Cars with drivers details. I call station cars, told 3-4 minutes. Call them again at 4:17, told 30 seconds away. Called by driver at 4:18, he's at a different address, but telling me my postcode. 4:19, booking a Uber. Thought that booking a local firm, half a mile from my house, might have been a simple process.

They didn't bother to turn up to pick me up, my booking wasn't even in the system. And I missed my long awaited medical appointment. On top of that the person I spoke to first coukd barely understand me. Really shoddy.
