“Used this service recently for 8 days to visit my hospitalized husband. Drivers were on time, pleasant and courteous. Cars were immaculate. A very pleasant experience in a not so great personal situation. Would highly recommend.”
“Just called this company to find out if they have escort service for children and the man that answered the phone was not professional and seemed rude to me, I would never use this company again in the future,”
“Drivers mostly are lovely.however having regularly used this taxi firm 2-3x per week I’m now nervous everyday as they are constantly late picking up.
A real shame as I would rather give my money to a local firm as opposed to Uber but it seems I’m gonig to have to start using Ubers”
“Kirby taxis brilliant customer service. The drivers are very friendly and helpful make you journey with comfortable. Kirby taxis are very reliable always on time can not fault them in anyway. Would definitely recommend them. Good prices”
“A taxi had been booked to pick me up from East Midlands Airport.
My flight was delayed and by the time I had arrived and cleared airport security and customs, there wasn't a taxi insight.
I called the office to find out where my taxi was and the person who answered the phone was very rude and abrupt telling me that my taxi had been and had already returned the the office...
I was stranded at East Midlands Airport and had to make alternative arrangements to get home...
Will not be using Kirby Taxis again!”
“We booked a taxi and was told it would be 45 minutes. We were still waiting an hour and 45 minutes later. I missed the time I was supposed to take my medication which made me very ill when I eventually arrived home. When my husband phoned to see where the taxi was they’d sent it to the wrong place. We were told to look out for a green car, a mini bus arrived. The taxi driver had a right attitude when we complained that we were expecting a green car. He kept going on about people complaining about them being 10 minutes late when they’re all drugged up or drunk. We became very uncomfortable and felt that he was implying that we were drunk or drugged up. If I wasn’t disabled we would have been quicker to walk home. We will stick with Uber from now on.”
“Absolutely shocking service, booked a cab for 7pm, they didn't turn up, so I called them, they said we will be there in 1 hour, my table was booked for 7.30pm, had to cancel restaurant, will never recommend or use your company again! Would of given Zero stars if allowed. I”
“Will never use your company again!!! Have used you twice now! First time you came an hour earlier and expected me to leave the hen party. And last night I booked a taxi for eleven, which came at one in the morning . Your operator was appalling his name was JAY. If it was my company he would be out the door!!!!!”
“Phoned up midnight trying to get a taxi back after the football was a nightmare. Kirby taxis sorted us out, polite gentleman on the phone told us an hour wait and he said he’d get someone out ASAP. We waited for an hour rang back and someone was out within ten minutes! Really polite, lovely bloke!”
“Absolutely RUBBISH taxi service.
Charged double what other taxi companies charge to take me to a destination I travel to frequently, driver didn’t have a clue where he was going and company was rude when I rang up to discuss it.
AVOID
And why reply to this honest review on Google reviews saying I changed destination twice????? I went to one destination only, my son’s school.
And I replied to your missed call later on that evening with you ADMITTING you overcharged me.
If you don’t like people hearing about how rubbish your service is then stop robbing people and improve your service!
By the way I still have your voicemail from your missed call saying you charged me too much it should be £8 not £10, or did you forget that before you wrote your lying response??
And that’s still nearly twice as much as most other companies.
Disgusting service”
“If it was possible, they would get zero stars. Booked two hours before required for a pre-booked set meal. Turned up an hour late and the operator or the driver.....quite frankly I don’t care which, lied. The operator said the driver was running behind, the driver said he’d been given the job 7 minutes before he arrived (an hour late!). Missed starter and cold main course. Never had such a bad experience and at this time of year more than ever, these businesses should be on top of their game. It was the first time I used them, it will most definitely be the last time I use them. Avoid, avoid, avoid!”
