Botley Taxis
Very reliable and friendly service. I am extremely pleased with the airport transfer service (only £65 to Heathrow - in a Mercedes!). The drivers are very pleasant and helpful and I can recomend this company to anybody. Mr King, 03/05/08 I've had problems with Radio Taxis (242424) too. The controller will agree to almost anything you ask and then fails on a regular basis to communicate your requirements to the driver. The drivers don't seem to be able to deal with turning up at a particular time, which is a bit of a problem. They're OK when you want one right away though. The last time we used them we asked if they would take a (medium-sized) dog and were told we'd be sent a driver who would. On arrival, the driver emphatically wouldn't. We were a bit miffed, having taken the trouble not to spring it on them. Unfortunately, they have a very memorable number, so I keep using them! I must update my phone. Lovepuppet, 18/04/08 RadioTaxis (24 24 24): in my opinion the worst cab service in Oxford. The controllers are impolite and unfriendly, the cabs are late 90% of the time and sometimes the controllers even forget to send a cab (especially if you book in advance). They also charge a lot, sometimes I have an impression that they start counting even before they arrive to pick up the customer! Anna, 20/03/08 Royal Cars are the firm I usually use. They're pretty good on timing, usually the cheapest and the drivers are pleasant enough. I'm not sure they've got black cabs though - think they just run cars. I'm pretty sure they will ring you if you're not outside when they arrive. They're not hailable either, so you don't risk losing your cab to an opportunist passer-by if you're a bit tardy leaving wherever you are. Their phone number is 777333 which is handily memorable. Su, 20/03/08 Regarding 2 very different firms: RadioTaxis - Awful service. We used these guys for some weeks since it was the only number we had 'handy' with the card on the wall. However that's where the convenience ended. Their controller was rude on the phone, their drivers were (sometimes rude) and they charged double what another firm charged to get to the same destination. On and off I've used most taxi cabs in Oxford but these guys are the worst. 001 Taxis - Massive contrast to the previous entry about Radio Taxis. Not only were they on time they automatically assumed you need a call/text on arrival. They described the vehicle and licence plate of the driver. Polite and efficient, I couldnt believe it when they were half the price (on meter) compared to the other firm mentioned previously. Dac, 20/03/08 |
