This reveiw is about the customer service received when ringing albatross head quarters with a question.
Had a pre booked taxi on Christmas eve with a a pre booking quote of around 32 by the end of the journey the metre was at 49 due to the pre authorisation there wasn't much to do about it at the time. When ringing to ask about this descrepency due to it being so large and having done the journey previously at 30 I was told "it's Christmas eve, that's the price just use someone else that's cheaper". After using albatross for years and particularly to get to and from work as a nurse during

On Friday night after Western cars failed to show a friend and I were stranded in Derby at 3am. Being two girls on our own, Albatross immediately sent us a taxi, he was there within ten minutes despite the guy on the phone saying it might be a wait. Unfortunately I did not get the driver's name, he was so friendly and made us feel so safe. Thank you 5* service.
