Clapham Minicabs - bad experience today!


i*Rate

Recommended Posts

Yesterday, my son booked Clapham Minicabs, online, to get him and his wife and young son to Gatwick Airport for a flight back to Taiwan today. He paid ?50+ for them to collect from us in ED at 7.30 this morning but after waiting until 7.40 he called to see where they were. He couldn't get through to their number as there seemed to be something wrong with it so we all got pretty anxious. However he did get through around 8.00 and was told that they couldn't contact the cab driver and couldn't say where he was.

By then we had had enough and told them so and my son booked Uber. After 25 minutes (and being able to track their cab all the way) Uber had arrived and taken them off for a comfortable, swift journey to the airport and what a great relief it was to us all!

So, we now hope our son does get a refund, but that company's incompetence certainly gave us a very stressful time

today!


Thank you for sharing and don't forget CLAPHAM MINICABS1!

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
