Worst cab company I have ever dealt with!! Used them for…read moreyears with no problems then recently they've become extremely unreliable, they'd quote me 10 to 15 minutes for a cab or state the cab was on route and I'd end up waiting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. It isn't the drivers that are the problem it's the people taking the bookings. I was let down around 5 times in less than a week. Completely avoid.

Unreliable! I will NOT use Panther cars again…read more I booked a taxi to take my dad to Clapham Junction for 5.30am to catch a train to Gatwick airport. I made the booking the day before, with plenty of notice. When the taxi hadn't arrived at 5.35am, I called and the woman who answered sounded half asleep. When I mentioned the booking she seemed to wake up and suddenly remember it. She then said the taxi was two minutes away and was held up by a previous booking. It was obvious when the taxi then arrived ten minutes later that she had only just sent out the order. Consequently my dad missed his train, wasted money on a pointless taxi journey (£16) and a train ticket he had previously booked to Gatwick airport (£9) and had to buy a second ticket to the airport (£17.90). This in addition to the added stress of getting to the airport in time means that I would NOT recommend Panther cars if you are looking for a reliable and good taxi service.

DO NOT USE Camberwell Cars…read more The driver I had yesterday was unprofessional, rude and aggressive. He charged me an extra £6, above what I was quoted, for having luggage and when I questioned him about it he was aggressive to the point of stopping in a petrol station and calling his controller, after which he rudely told me I had to pay the extra fee. I called his controller myself and the driver again stopped the car and refused to move delaying my trip for a second time. The controller was sullen and unhelpful and stated several times that he couldn't do anything about it, it wasn't up to him, and it wasn't his fault. I pointed out to him that I was a regular customer and I always took the same bags with me each time and had never experienced this charge before. I told him that I wouldn't be using his company again to which he simply said I could do whatever I wanted. Seriously flawed customer service. The driver continued on only after I agreed to the extra fee and I finally made it to my destination and paid. To my amazement, after everything, he sullenly told me he didn't have change and spent the next ten minutes going from shop to shop trying to get some coins while I waited on the street. The worst experience I've ever had in a taxi. 0 Stars if I could!

Good local prompt car service in Camberwell. Reasonably priced and pleasant cab drivers.read more

SYDENHAM TAXIS SUCK, SPECTACULARLY!…read more For the fourth time in as many months this truly ramshackle outfit has let me down and caused cumulative inconvenience, distress and anxiety, especially as I'm partially disabled and nearly ninety. *On one indelibly memorable occasion they failed to show up at all...* SYDENHAM TAXIS DON'T DESERVE TO BE IN BUSINESS, GIVE THEM YOURS AND YOU'LL LIKELY REGRET IT Hereonwards they'll certainly secure no more of mine. I've had the last laugh though, litetally at their expense ha-ha, because they can whistle for the cash I was originally due to pay them this morning. My decision enables me to claw back at least some of the money I've been forced to pay others to carry out the job THEY were engaged to do... For the second time Sydenham Taxis' total incompetence compelled me to employ a competitor company. Naked unprofessionalism is something I refuse to subsidise. I thoroughly recommend Canon Cars.

I am revising my rating based on several bad experiences. I am no longer using this taxi company as…read moreI just can't rely on them. At least five times over the past couple of months, they have not turned up when booked in advance. It takes two phone calls to get a car dispatched and worst of all, there is one male controller who has lied to us about what has happened and where the car is. He told us that the car was just pulling into the road around the corner, but 10 minutes later the car arrived from a completely different direction. I have had to get out of two different cars because I didn't believe that they were road worthy. A third one could only use side lights at night. When I called to complain, I was told that their policy had changed to have two MOTs per year. I somehow didn't believe them, and did not see a rise in the standard of car maintenance. Very often the drivers smoke and don't take care of their cars. I have had an argument with one particular driver twice about dropping me off at the far side of Sydenham station - because he didn't want to go round the roundabout. He wanted to know why I couldn't walk over the footbridge as it was more convenient for him. It's a real shame, as they used to be quite good. I am now using a different cab company.
