I had to give him the post code when we were in town and even then he got lost. Admittedly on return we were late coming out.

I arrived in Sutton Coldfield station with half hour spare to find a taxi and get to my…read moredestination. But there were no taxis at the station (or could I see a sign for a taxi rank or find anyone to ask other than getting behind a long line at the ticket kiosk), none on the end of the road from the station and none near the shopping centre - all places where you would expect to find one. After asking several people who all sent me in different directions, I found a policeman who directed me to Parkers Cars. I explained my predicament that I was now late for a meeting - it's now raining too- and the lady understood. She was straight on the phone to find a driver for me, talking to me in between calls the whole time, showing complete empathy. The driver arrived within 10 minutes as she promised, was equally friendly and got me straight to my destination. A brilliant service.

Booked choice cars for a return trip from West Bromwich to Birmingham airport. No problem going…read morebut had to wait for 25 minutes for return taxi. I gave them the flight number and my phone number and was told to ring when we got our luggage so the driver, who would be waiting at the free car park could then come straight round to collect us. However when we landed the company rang me and said the taxi was 15 minutes away as he had another job. Once we had our luggage I rang and was told he was 7 minutes away. However, on the app that I was tracking the driver, said he was minutes away. I rang twice more but was told the app was wrong and he was closer but that wasn't the case. The app told me when the driver was outside with the reg number that came to pick us up. This was after a 5 hour flight from Cyprus at 1.30 in the morning, with 2 elderly people, a disabled person and a child. Disgusting service. Will not use them again and would not recommend.
There are a few private hire companies operating in the Sutton Coldfield area but my first port of…read morecall is always Choice. I always found Parkers too expensive and never really went for Sutton Cars (who I don't think even exist anymore). I worked behind the bar in The Duke for years and we always used Choice as our default when ringing taxis for customers; to the extent where the owner would start bringing in free samosas for us. A bit like reverse bribery I suppose. In all honesty, they've always been reliable and friendly at all times of day (and I've used them at some very obscure times - the sort of times you never even knew people could be awake at). Out of all the taxi companies in Sutton, they've usually worked out cheapest too - it usually costs no more than £15 for a taxi from the town centre into the city centre.

Perhaps where it scores highest is through specialising in early morning bookings, along with a text message service - perfect should you feel your jelly legs won't carry you home after a drink or six. But it's more than a professional service for the tipsy weekend set, airport transfers and business travel are also offered, with up-to-eight-seater vehicles. It all fits its bold intention to become the area's best private hire service and a genuine wish to put the customer first. Customers may pick a vehicle, from a range of fleets, which best suits their needs, including stylish, chauffeur-driven motors. A comprehensive website adds to these little details, right down to a luggage guide for those planning on getting away from it all. Time to add their number to your phone.

These are my local taxi company, and I used to use them quite a lot. The price of fairs are very…read morecheap, and I don't think I've ever paid more than £10 for their service for one drop off. And that includes from anywhere in Birmingham. The company is quite a lot smaller than most other firms in the city, and I think that adds a great friendly close knit vibe between all of the staff; You certainly get that experience when you're talking to the drivers anyway. Most of the rides home are kept entertaining and free of silence by the talkative drivers, who are great at making conversation. However, I have had a few disappointing encounters with this company. I was standing outside waiting for them for 45 minutes once, and the taxi didn't turn up. I kept ringing them back, but they said they were still on their way. In fact, the service name 'On Time' isn't suited to them at all really, and the company has often been quite late for me, and usually arrive within 20 minutes. I'd prefer them to pick me up in 10 minutes personally, because this is long enough to wait.

I once left my wallet in the back of a cab owned by Brookfleet, not only did they notify me straight away, they personally returned it to me the next da with all the cash still inside, amazing.

One thing is, from personal experience if you ask for a quote over the 'phone they obviously oblige and that's how much you get charged (essential for any important pre -booking obviously) However if you just state a destination and don't ask for a price, often the driver will charge less than the office would quote. I'm not sure why, I'm not sure if they should, but they do.
