“Appalling service. Paid for meet and greet 6 weeks in advance for family with children at Gatwick. Confirmed by phone 24 hours prior to meet. Cancelled by email later that day. They do not value their customers as they declare they do!!!”

Helpful Report

“They called me 12 hours before my booking to tell me a saloon was not big enough for one adult, 2 kids and a suitcase (!) and they want me to pay another £30. I said no we would clearly fit in the car with lots of space… They then called me a few hours before our plane was due to take off to tell me that they weren’t going to send a car with child seats unless I paid them another £30. They said it was my choice if I wanted to pay more, cancel and miss my flight, or have my four year old travelling around the m25 with no car seat! It’s hard to summarise how insane this conversation was and how brazen they were in their attempts to extort money from me. I wouldn’t use these guys again in a million years.”

“I had to fly back urgently because my mum was rushed into hospital. A friend told me about 1st and have to agree they were great.”

“We had excellent service today at Gatwick airport. Malek was exceptionally polite and patient waiting when our bags were delayed. He went out of his way to make our trip into London a pleasant one on a day when there was a rail strike. Thank you so much. Would definitely use them again.”

“AVOID. DIRTY TAXIS, TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. We paid £100 for a taxi from Gatwick. An old dirty Prius turned up which smelt like stale smoke and had a packet of cigarettes left in the back seat. The car seat we asked for was old, in poor condition and smelt mouldy. It was also so poorly fitted that we declined to use it. After a month of emailing and calling to raise a complaint and request a refund (their complaint handling policy is to tell you to call back another time when another manager will handle the complaint) someone finally read my complaint and proceeded to make excuses and tell me if I wasnt happy with the car I should have refused the journey and then they would have refunded me (doubtful). Also not easy to organise an alternative taxi + car seat at 1am!”

“Just had a taxi from Windsor and the driver I had was superb. Excellent driver excellent airport taxi and transfer service. Really Thank You!”

Helpful Report

“Taxi was so small despite booking one for 5 people. The driver had a child seat which my wife had to travel for an hour with on her lap. Seats had to be moved so far forward because of luggage that my children couldn’t put on their seatbelts. Complained without response”

“Do not use this company!! - booked a black Mercedes Vito 8 seater for a corporate event. Got confirmation this was the vehicle would get by email and then the WORST large taxi I have ever been in turned up. Filthy and old - even the windows didn’t work. One window had a snotty tissue stuck in it. NEVER been in a worse taxi ….. ever! Avoid!”

“Do not use this company. Our driver was virtually asleep and nearly killed us as a result. They have yet to respond to my complaint about safety and driver welfare.”

Helpful Report

“Would not recommend this company!! The most important thing you require from an airport taxi after a long day of travelling is reliability and they are not. We pre booked an 8 seater mini bus and paid EXTRA for meet and greet as didn’t want the hassle of searching for a taxi big enough for 5 of us and lots of bags and a baby of 4 months and we did not get this, we had to wait nearly 40 mins in the cold at 1 am, when I called they kept telling me it’s 4-5 mins away but never was, it did eventually arrive and the vehicle didn’t look fit for the road. Needless to say I haven’t received a refund for the extra meet or greet yet after I did ask for at least that back!! Daniel JACK”

“Competitive price, confirmation by text the day before, driver called 10 minutes before arrival, driver was very polite and carried all suitcases into the car whilst waiting for us, smooth journey in a comfortable car. Perfect start to our holiday. Highly recommended.”

Helpful Report

“Our booking to London was cancelled the day before, even though the booking was confirmed and paid for two weeks earlier. We even phoned the week before to make sure there would be no issues. This is disgraceful behaviour from a company that does not honour their contracts with their customers. This has ruined a trip that has been planned for some time and left no time to cancel tickets and hotel. Looking at reviews from other customers, this seems be be a regular occurrence. No stars DO NOT USE”

“I booked a meet-and-greet pick-up from Heathrow from my laptop. I waited for a confirmation email, which arrived and then shut my computer and happily went about my day knowing that my pick-up was arranged. I then also received a text message confirmation of the booking which was extra reassuring. I arrived at the arranged pick-up about 5 minutes before planned and waited, after there was no sigh of the driver after 20 minutes waiting, I called the number on the confirmation email and it rang and went to voicemail - so I left a message. I then found a landline number and called that and the controller took my details and then said he would call the driver. After a few minutes he came back and said that he had spoken to the driver and that traffic was heavy around Heathrow, and he would be there in 15 minutes. So I waited, for 15 minutes, then 35 minutes. Still no sign of the driver. I called the taxi company again who told me that the taxi had been cancelled 4 hours earlier and that they had sent an email (fantastically helpful for those flying I'm sure). They hadn't bothered to send a cancellation text to follow the confirmation text which would actually have been helpful. I asked the controller why I had been lied to on my first call and told that the driver was on his way and to continue waiting and he was really dismissive like it was my fault. This is without a doubt the worst airport taxi experience I have had in 25 years of travelling. '1st Airport Taxis'?; 'Worst Airport Taxis' in my opinion.”

“I’d give them no stars. On Monday 20th June I booked and paid for an 8 seater minibus to take 6 people to the airport on 23rd June. On 22nd June at 5pm in the evening they emailed me to say “ Just to let you know that we do not have any driver available tomorrow due to the train strike, so we won't be able to provide you with the service. We have cancelled this booking and refunded your money back. Please make alternative arrangements for your travel.“ Needless to say that at 5pm on the day before a train strike I had no success in booking an alternative taxi. There’s also no sign of my refund yet either. They took my money and confirmed the hire…. Then went back on their promise at the last minute. Absolute rubbish behaviour.”

“Booked meet and greet plus taxi. But it was done v badly with no placard / name board and very bad communication. Driver rude to my elderly mother, refused to turn on AC on a hot day (well after COVId). Refused to switch off music in car as it was Azan. Overall poor customer service.”

“I was picked up from T5 on the 1st of June by a driver hardly spook any english. We were about to have an accident 3 times on the M25 and the M1. We were very happy to get our of the car. I called the office 3 times to talk to the manager but no answer back. Please make sure who is taking you home or away it was not safe, and no customer service at all.”

“We travelled from Gatwick to Southampton airport. We paid Ann extra £12 for Meet and Greet but we had to call the driver to let him know we were there and then wait 10 minutes. We could have put up with this, but we emailed info@ that evening again to ask fir the &12 refund and got no response.”
