“Took our payment online then sent an email saying it couldn't fulfil the booking and would refund. Now out of pocket 3 days and no refund!”

“Scam. This company took £36.50 for a pre booked 4 mile journey. I accepted the cost as live in a rural location with no other choice. The taxi didn't arrive and left us no option to walk home on an unlit lane! I called numerous times but there was no answer. I have tried to get a refund but all taxicode says is the taxi made the journey....absolute lie. In fact the company they issued the job to was based in London.....I'm closer to Bristol! SCAM....not only will you be out of pocket you risk being stranded and left on danger!”

“Booked a taxi and then had to cancel within 1 hour after booking it. Got £0 refund. Just a rip off.”

“I pressed the link to call the cab and then the app told me my cab had arrived. Then we went outside and waited. The driver rang me to say he was outside the venue and I told him to come to the regents building which is just behind the main building. He said yes ok I will find you. He then cancelled the booking and I can only assume he picked up another fair and set his phone to not available because every time I rang it, it went to unavailable. We waited in the rain for a while longer in shock but in the end rang a local taxi firm to book another car. As it was busy it took over an hour for this car to come and we had a baby sitter waiting at home. Then to make matters worse you charged me £26.50 for this. terrible customer service! also the feedback on trust pilot is taken straight after you have made your booking so i doubt you can take them with any seriousness. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY”

“Ordered taxi and then I had to cancel my booking. Did this a week in advance, they issued me only 10% of refund. What a joke.”

“Disgusting people, wish i had read reviews before i booked,wouldn't even give them one star. Tried to cancel, they would not give me my money back!!!!! Do not use them, you have to book on line and do not get to speak to anyone, use GO GREEN taxis, much better service and you get to book with a person. straight forward and personal. have not been given refund as yet iwas told i wouldnt get one unless i changed my booking.”

“Very slow to answer the phone. Very slow at responding to emails. They hadn't even assigned the driver and I tried to cancel 48 hours in advance and they charge 90% cancellation fee which is not really reasonable.”

“Should have read the reviews. Simply shocking service. Booked a taxi for the next day. Cancelled within an hour and they took the fare anyway. Emailed to ask for my money back and they told me where to go. Shocking company.”

“Pre booked with CV for a 1am pick up. Taxi didn't arrive on time. Had to get another £80 cab home. Taxi called me at 01:26 to ask where I was. I had tried to call this company many times before I decided I could be stranded, and I read to T&Cs first. So was confident I would get my money back. Taxicode have been very very bad. They have ignored my calls and refused to pay me. I work for a bank in security and have taken legal advice. I have also reported this company to Google. They will rip you off. Do not use them.”

“I called initially to see if there was an option to bring the time forward by 15 minutes, picking us up at 7.15 pm rather than 7.30 pm, just an inquiry. However, the taxi company assigned to the job said that they had no record of the booking, they even checked their other office and confirmed that they had no record and that they stopped working with Taxicode. So, I called Taxicode, you gave some excuse and said a car was on its way. Then, they said this car had broken down (I do not believe this). Then, they said another car was on its way and I'd receive a text message to confirm. I did receive a text message and the message said that an uber had been ordered but that there were no Ubers in the area. Every time I called you I was on hold for at least 10 minutes. Eventually, we had to drive to the restaurant which was disappointing as it was a special meal, my birthday and we wanted to try the tasting menu with the wine pairings. Drinking was no longer an option with the car. Terrible service and I have still not received a refund for the outbound nor return journey, which I did not take.”

“Thieves! . A policy of only refunding 10% of a booking cost even 10 days ahead. DO NOT USE. This company makes in money by capturing its customers - charging for extra baggage and “luggage conflicts” as they call them. They deserve to be creamed by Uber - and the rest of the normal world - but rely on a steady stream of suckers . You’ve been warned”

“Taxi didn’t show, called company 8 times kept cutting me off, about to drive myself to station. They called said taxi will be there 2 minutes. Driver called but needed directions to us eventhough postcode brings you to the village. Finally in taxi 40 mins late. Had to instruct driver how to drive 10 miles to Derby station. No apology no help with bags. We missed our train with booked seats to London. Finally got one an hour late. Complained to company who said we weren’t entitled to any refund as we’d paid by card in advance. Worst taxi service ever!! User beware!!”

“Do not use this company. Had a coach booked for 10:00, rang at 10:30am and asked where the coach was. Was told the coach had broke down and there was nothing they could do. Was told there was no alternatives and I would receive a refund in the next few days. After contacting them many times they are still refusing to give me any refund even though I paid approximately £250 for the coach. Avoid this company at all costs”

“The driver turned up late, said the office are supposed to monitor flights then didn't take us saying no luggage could go on seats despite his boot not being big enough. He cancelled the job, yet Taxicode are npt providing a refund, seeking legal actiona s we had to pay for another taxi on top of this”

“Arrived at Heathrow Airport at 6am in the morning after travelling for 24 hours with my 2yo only to find there was no taxi. Called the company who apparently attempted to call the driver. Received a call back saying the driver must be asleep as they can't reach him!?!? Asked for another taxi with a child seat as previously booked and was told it would be at least another 30-40 minute wait and I'd be better off getting a taxi from the airport sales people!? Who of course didn't have any taxis with child seats. 3 hours later (after what should have been a 30 minute journey) we finally got home after booking in with a different taxi company and sitting in peak hour traffic which we would have missed had the original one turned up. Saga didn't end there though...! The next morning (24 hours after the scheduled booking time) received a message saying my taxi driver had arrived followed by a call from the taxi driver!?!? Aggravated doesn't even begin to cover it...avoid avoid avoid!!!”

“DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. My taxi didn't show, I called the company who the job had been outsourced to, they had never heard of my booking. Twenty minutes later, taxi code called back to say they had found another taxi but I'd made other arrangements. They then told me I had to email for a refund! Unreliable and unprofessional. I have yet to receive my refund. Basically a scam.”

“This is what they state on their website..... We are currently seeking Taxicode partners across the UK. Taxicode is the UK's largest and most successful national minicab booking service. We work with over 400 taxi companies in over 500 towns in the UK. Taxicode is the UK's most advanced online lead generation and taxi booking platform. However... THEY ARE NOT UK BASED. They are company in Holland making a lot of money by overcharging the customer under paying the taxi hire firms and keeping 45% of refunds from prebooked cancellation. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY - Also going by the name of Bookataxiride.com and Esher minicabs. DO NOT USE.”
