“DO NOT USE!!! Liars and thieves”

“Business is a scam and they have several companies which they trade by but all payments made will show as Taxicode. Booked using on a website called compare taxi, realised that the address details were not correct so cancelled the booking. Then booked with another company called Travaroo. When I saw that the payment was made to Taxicode I cancelled the booking immediately as it seemed fraudulent. The fares were £164 and £72. Out of this they have kept a total of £212.40. They keep on going in about there terms and conditions but there is no way these count if your booking is made under 30 days, cancelled on the same day a booking is made and when a driver has not even been allocated! I wish I had seen these reviews before hand. Have been going back and forth with customer service today as they try to fob me off. Now been past over to a different agent. I have already reported them to Action Fraud and will report the to trading standards if a full refund is not provided as they are not following consumer laws.”

“Do not ever use this company. I had a taxi booked to take us to the airport at 12.30pm but it never showed so I had to make other arrangements at an extra cost to myself. I rang the company to ask where the taxi was & they should said the taxi driver wasn’t doing the job.”

“Do not book. Run as far as you can. They failed to provide us with two cabs - we'd booked a journey for 10 people, and instead they sent 1x 6-seater and did the journey twice over both ways. They've been really difficult to get a refund out of for this failed service, so I'd advise not booking with them and instead shopping around for local taxi providers. I've personally passed on my story to a consumer affairs journalist alongside links to other complaints and would advise others to do the same - they have a long history of pretty much scamming people and so do seek help if they owe you a refund.”

“AVOID AT ANY COST.They assigned us Lavish Chauffeur taxi who showed up 30 min late ,without a car seat for the baby, even though we had paid for one. The driver would not even meet us to the gate. Eventually we decided to take the tube for the safety of our baby, but the company would not refund us. This is not a legitimate company, more of a scam”

“Avoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This company outsources drivers from other companies. So you are paying 20% more but the probability that service would be bad is the same as just picking a random minicab online. I booked a transfer 4 days in advance, received email with confirmation and driver’s details on the same day, great! The night I landed I switched my phone on to find several email from several unknown taxi companies with booking confirmations and cancellation. Also received several messages from drivers… very confusing. Finally I received a message from a driver asking me to call him when the luggage is collected saying he’s waiting for me. Although it looks extremely unprofessional to give my contact details to several taxi companies and not even bother to send an email saying your booking has had some issues, but at least I felt relieved, I have a driver. Little did I know :) I call the driver as promised when luggage was collected, he told me to go to row E of parking 2, where I spent 15 minutes waiting for him at 2.30 am in Luton. But ok, whatever, I just want to get to a cab and sleep now, so he comes, I get in and he asks me to give him £5 in cash for parking (just fyi I’ve paid £91 to taxicode online for all inclusive service). So I explain to the gentleman that when I entered into a contract with taxicode for its services, there was no mention of extra charges (no mention of third parties being involved either) so I believe it will be only fair if 2 companies sort it out between themselves. I also mentioned to the driver that he made me wait 15 minutes, which for a pre-booked service it’s a bit too much and he should be ashamed asking me for parking charges on top of that. He got really angry and tells me he’ll leave me in the middle of the Highway where we were by then at 3 am. So to cut long story short I had to call the manager of the company this driver belonged to, obviously there was no support from taxicode in this hour. I can confidently say it was by far the worst experience I have had with a pre-booked taxi service and I’ll stick back to the good old Uber, it’s cheaper, they don’t ask for extra money and they arrive quicker.”

“Do not even think of using this company. They didn't turn up, so we had to make alternative arrangements. Apparently the driver did eventually arrive but 45 mins late. As far as Taxicode are concerned, that is acceptable and therfore charged the full amount. A complete scam. Avoid like the plague.”

“Dreadful! Booked and paid in advance for a minivan for my family, timing was crucial. Didn't come, didn't tell me, had to call and find out and havne't refunded my 75 pounds. There is a word for what they are and my next call will be to the police and the courts.”

“Basically, fraudsters. 3 days of lies, and then a 10:30am taxi cancelled at midnight the night before. Was given the name and number of a taxi firm that doesn't exist, amongst the full suite of absolute lies from these clowns.”

“Paid for a VIP meet and Greet service. The driver called to say to meet him in the short stay parking because he didn't want to pay for parking. He was late and also did not open the boot to help with luggage. Got our address wrong too. Incredibly poor service, keep clear as all costs!”

“Don’t use this company!!! I booked a minibus and now they’re sending 2 taxis from a different town- they phone you up and tell you you can’t get what you booked from a call centre in India - honestly you can hardly understand a word they say - you tell them you want what you ordered but once you’ve paid - your stuffed!!! As I said DO NOT BOOK with these incompetent idiots”

“I requested a car to arrive for 4pm, TaxiCode rung me around 5-10mins later to ask if I would accept 4.30pm, to which I replied I would. another 5-10mins after this I received another call from TaxiCode asking would I consider a car for 4.45pm, to which I replied 'no, this is unfortunately too late and I have another company I can go with instead.' I requested a refund twice during this call, but the operator insisted my car would arrive by 4.30pm (I was told they had checked with their manager & available taxi services), but they needed to update the system to show 4.45pm, just in case. I was then assigned a driver & over the next hour told every 20-30mins that my cab was delayed due to heavy traffic. I called taxi code again, asked for a refund and to cancel the cab as the new arrival time was after 5pm (an hour past my original requested time). The operator (Abdullah) was now hugely unhelpful, couldn't direct me to the manager or offer a refund even though I was getting direct updated from the cab company to tell me they were hugely delayed. He said he would ring the company to check the new ETA and get back to me with an update, which he never did. I finally got a call at 5.51pm (1.45+hours after my original time) to let me know the driver had arrived. The passengers I was arranging the journey for had an important event to get to and would've missed it if they'd waited around for this cab. I was also being told that there were road closures on the M25 due to an accident that had happened at 8.50am in the morning (this was past 4pm). I searched online traffic updates and saw this road had been reopened earlier in the day and average traffic wait times were no more than 10-15mins. I appreciate there are issues on the day (such as accidents etc), but then the cab company needs to take responsibility for delays and either provide a cab that is closer or offer a refund when they're unable to meet the requested time slot.”

“We booked for a party of 15 people for a journey from West Yorkshire to London Gatwick, they took the money for the return agreement, the first trip they never even turned up!! We chased them down and they never sent the booking detail onto a company, so we then had to rush down on local transport at our own added expense, and then coming back our flight had a small delay, and we were told that because of our problems we would get a 16 seater bus to take us all back, we ended up getting 2 buses of 8 who couldn’t find the correct exit to pick us up from, and made us pay extra money for the plane being delayed, and we have yet to see any of the money back from our booking, or compensation for the added expense we had. Terrible company. VERY untrustworthy. AVOID!!!!!”

“DO NOT USE. This company cancelled 2 separate events leaving multiple people stranded. The first was coach for 35 people and they just didn't turn up and 'forgot' to tell us they had cancelled. The 2nd was another event with a coach and they cancelled right at the last minute.”

“Terrible service. Driver rung in sick so new driver was 50 minutes late on outbound journey. Return journey 10 times worse!! Flight was delayed by 40 minutes so driver gave up waiting! Driver given wrong flight details by taxicode so arrived early then charged us £40 for the wait, then made us wait an hour and a half to actually agree to take us home. AVOID THIS COMPANY, RIP-OFF.”
