KikiMac Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 After too many examples of appallingly bad service from Addison Lee (lied about when the cab was due, waited nearly an hour then they tried to charge us for canceling!) and Keene Group (lies, lateness, but no charges at least), I'm on the hunt for a reliable local taxi firm.Any recommendations?

muffins78 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I used to always use the cab office based at Herne Hill station when I was living in West Dulwich. On occasion used them after moving here, but don't use cabs as much now! They were reliable in my experiene back then. The man on the switch, Gerry, lives in ED.

Too Good To Be True Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I always use Mason and Green for airport runs at unsociable hours. They're fine. Never used any other company though so have no frame of reference...

MarkAndHelen Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Mason & Green are very good. Excellent rates to Gatwick & Heathrow. Excellent timekeeping, new & clean cars, and their drivers always wear suits and are always most polite.We use them on a regular basis, and have not been let down thus far.

gatt4950 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hiwe always use rye cars. They are reliable and very well priced and a nice lady always answers the phone day or night! I think they take your card details for the first booking (ours was an airport trip at 5am) but after the first one they don't ask for card details again.very nice taxi firm and i have always felt safe with them.
