Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I am not sure if this is a particular company or a general issue with taxi services. I have had no problems with some taxi companies, such as Intime, which has a contract with the Manchester hospitals. Their drivers are always lovely. However, I had a different experience with another company called Hastings. The taxi smelled strongly of hot food, as if the driver had just eaten or customers had, and it was quite unpleasant. The driver then asked for the £10 fare upfront and compared it to Uber, and then asked for a tip afterwards. As I was feeling very unwell, I gave him my change, but I would not compare that car ride to an Uber experience. I have found that some local taxi drivers, particularly from certain ethnic backgrounds, have treated me poorly because I am a woman. They have been unprofessional in their questions, asking about my sexuality and making sexual comments, or they have taken advantage of me by hijacking me to take me to a cash point to demand cash. Their payments don't take 10 days to come through and how they get paid is not my problem.

The services were great! The only thing is that as I have booked the service to pick us up from Manchester Piccadilly station instead of airport. The email did not indicate where should I be waiting for the taxi. Its lucky that I have an UK sim card to call the company, otherwise we would have missed the ride.

We booked 10/10 Taxi as we visited for the first time to Manchester We booked to take us to the centre on 10/10/21 Son was in the Marathon.We got a price of £12 quoted booked for pick up@Trafford Centre Sunday Quiet Firstly he couldn't find his way out the car Park!I had to show him the arrows on the floor to follow to exit omg
Then he was very rude when I said the price I'd been quoted Shouting ,that bad wanted to stop get out taxi Called the office who had to call him not to abuse the cost I'd been quoted He was really bad shouting you pay £20 I say so you do this !!
The operator I called again, called him was worse taxi ride ever Then week ago they offered me a refund, kept me waiting Then said we will give you £3.80 as the fare was £13.80 ..
No sorry as the operators in duty that day listened in to our Journey ,said they were disgusted apologised As we weren't from Manchester
Insult they offer this you believe it, said self employed we can't afford pay you full refund
Please don't book this company be warned !!!!! LOCAL-Visitor to Manchester
You might be stung like us and suffer abuse on your journey by thier so called self employed drivers Who they take no responsibility for ..
Please visit Nottinghamshire we will welcome you with respect ,take care of you here ...with any Taxi company
Shame on you 10/10 to treat two women like this ,who book with ur company !!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad choice

This company confirmed my order for a specific taxi at a specific time, sent me a text after the time had passed to say a smaller taxi would be sent but still charged me the full fare when I cancelled within 1 minute of their text. They were slow to engage in a refund request asking for information that they had at hand and then refused to give a refund saying my prompting after 5 days had passed was threatening. Don’t use this company. Uber provide a much better and cheaper service.

What can I say … other than this would be the worse experience in a taxi ever … and over 5 different countries with loads of taxi trips … that is not good. For a UK taxi … that is pretty bad.
Our driver did not speak a word to us, our trip went from Manchester City to Salford Quays – so it was not a short trip. Our driver drove at super high speeds, nearly got sandwiched between two other cars (who were going about their business normally), he jumped lanes like there was no one else on the road.
Enter these taxi’s at your own risk !!! We certainly will NOT be using them again.

Could you kindly remove you review as we believe you have accidentally left it for the wrong company. Manchester taxi service is in fact a pre book and prepaid company only and your details are not in our system.
You have never booked a taxi with use you most have just taken one from the street. All the taxis in Manchester are a self employed you have to leave you complaint to Manchester city council thank you

As a wheelchair user, I used this taxi service to get me from Manchester Airport to my hotel in the Piccadilly area. The drivers were extremely helpful and kept in contact as soon as my flight landed to let me know where they were picking me up and the same thing on my return journey. All in all, definitely a company I would recommend to disabled travellers for ease of service and professionalism at a reasonable price.

I arranged for them to pick an elderly relative up who flew in from Canada and needed picking up from Piccadilly station, they we’re absolutely brilliant!!! They had no problems allowing me to change the time of pick up when she got through customs quicker than expected. They contacted me to say they were at the station; and then after not being able to find her initially they phoned me to say they had found her up and everything was ok … My aunty thought the driver Luc and his car was lovely and very posh …. what a great service, Yes slightly more expensive than other company’s but they’re professional, reliable and their website is so easy to navigate I’d definitely use them again when in Manchester!

Awful company. Picked us up and said meter fair is fine. Halfway there tells us it's £27 as its fixed rate for that area. For less than a 10 minute drive (2.9 miles) then locked us in the taxi saying we have to pay £27. We said no and he then said OK discount to £23. Absolute scammers. And I'll never go with them again, always uber.

Accidentally booked the same journey twice, they called me 30 minutes before pick up to make sure I booked two cars which I of course did not. Most honest, friendly and trustworthy taxi service. Very Efficient.
