Tower Cabs Plymouth 4+

Booked a taxi to catch a morning train. Taxi didn’t show, so rang them and the operator basically said I should have called, that there was no way they could get to me in time for the booking, that I was going to miss my train to London for work, and if I called they could have prioritised it. Why wasn’t it a priority already? I booked it the night before?? They didn’t even try to help, and due to the morning rush I missed the train afterwards too trying to sort this out. Operator completely unsympathetic, basically blamed me for not giving myself enough time. It’s a 6 minute journey by car! Absolutely disgusting, useless, avoid this company. They don’t even let you know if they’re running late so it’s not like you can find an alternative in time.

I use Tower Cabs/TAXIFIRST on a daily basis, at least twice, to get my son to and from school. He’s 11, Autistic and goes in the taxi on his own, because I have three younger ones to take to school. Most of the taxi drivers are super lovely and very understanding. I sometimes pay in cash, sometimes on card and sometimes in advance and I rarely get any problems now, thankfully! Sometimes, I forget to prebook a taxi and remember in the morning and even then, I can get a cab on time, for him to get to school! Sometimes, I’ve got to change the time, but only slightly, so it’s perfect! My son is very nervous and the drivers help him feel at ease. He’s even been able to pay himself, via card and cash! He’s getting a lot more confident and independent with it all now. Thank you for keeping our minds at rest and making the process easy! I have to admit, I’ve had a lot of problems in the past, but since they’ve combined companies, I’ve rarely had problems. Sometimes, some of the drivers overcharge us massively, but apart from that, alls good! Great company in all.

Recommend you to use it- then get told over the phone that it is have called up and spoken to an operator I’d have been prioritised and that when a taxi becomes available it would be to me- this was already 5 mins after my booking time. Then he lied to me and said they were closer than the app showed when they assigned someone to me. But like my mum said if I hadn’t have phoned we probably wouldn’t have had a taxi- waste of money on companies part because no one will use this service.

Just book over the phone 🤦🏼‍♀️
