Bad experiences with the big taxi firms, now looking local...

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

The OLD ? Dulwich cars merged with the Keene group ? Presume the NEW Dulwich cars acquired their name.

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.

Hi


we 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.

    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
