Six months ago I would have given Delta 4 or maybe even 5 stars but their standards seem to be…read moreslipping. Delta used to be my first port of call if I was stuck for transport but now they're the last company I get in touch with. Recently, when you call they either don't answer or answer after a long wait, you then get told "sorry, we don't have a cab in your area, call back in 30 minutes". Not ideal when you've just missed your bus to work and you were hoping for a quick fix. They do provide 24 hour ring back which is useful, but most taxi companies do these days so I suppose it's nothing special.

I don't tend to get taxis on a regular basis, so my experiences with companies like Delta are…read morealmost entirely restricted to late-night trips home from town or Southport. Thankfully, the only bad experiences I've had when getting taxis home are with the absolutely idiotic black cab drivers that charge forty quid and refuse to stop more than once without putting the meter on first. Cretins of the highest order, we only get them if we really have to. Usually though we manage to get through to Delta no problem (late night Friday and Saturday can take a while sometimes, persistence is the key) and when we do we rarely have any problems. The wait can occasionally be a bit long but it is usually understandable and each driver we have had has been more than happy to put up with our drunken ramblings/conversations and has made many stops without any fuss (black cab drivers, take note). Their prices are easily the cheapest around (when going from Liverpool to Formby, at least) and their call back option means you can stay in your club or takeaway of choice for as long as you want without fear of your taxi driving past you. So if you're looking for a taxi home go with Delta and, whatever you do, avoid the black cabs at all costs.

Good Old Delta. So much better than a Black Cab, they're kind of like your mum, always there for…read moreyou and a 24 hour taxi service. I don't have a bad word to say about them! They have call-back so there's none of that irritating business of having missed the cab when you were touching up your make-up. It's also ridiculously cheap, reliable and quick. If it's not peak time you can expect one at your door in under 10 mins and generally there's quite a difference in price from Delta to a Black Cab- oh how I love prices measured by distance and not time! You don't find yourself cursing every red light and wrong turn anyway! It's best to call ahead of time if it's a Friday or Saturday night and you have somewhere important to be but that's standard for any taxi company really. So next time you don't want to get ripped off in the town centre, Get a Delta!

Delta Taxis are my far the most well-marketed in Liverpool, you see them literally everywhere…read more If you need a cab in Liverpool then these will probably be your best shout. They're well cheap, with a journey from the town centre to Green Bank, where the main university halls are, costing about five or six quid, where a black cab will cost a good tenner. They're usually fast and reliable as well but perhaps less so at peak times. You may find someone has jumped in your cab or something like that. Might be better off with a smaller firm if its three am.

I ring argyle sat taxi's for a larger car which i know they charge you more for (time and a half) so the girl asked me why do i want a larger taxi.... I tell her because im a bariatric person and need a car that's high enough to get in (as can't get in low down cars or small ones) after quizzing me to why i want a bigger taxi and being a bit invasive she then tells me its booked in and will be with me soon. After waiting 5 - 10 mins a Toyota Prius turns up and the middle eastern taxi driver winds down the window saying something which i could not make out, i was shouting over i ordered a 6 seater/larger taxi, then i shouted over its fine ill try and get in and the driver starts shouting aggressively out the car but still not audibly recognisable to what he is saying and then aggressively drives off. I rang the taxi office back up to be told "oh im so sorry he usually drives a 6 seater car" When that was a lie as the tracking comes up with what car he is driving. she then goes on to say she doesn't have a 6 seater or SUV normal car out working that evening which was a load of fabricated lies as i sat on a hospital wheel chair with 2 health care assistants for ages watching countless bigger argle satellite taxi cars pull up for other customers who arrived after me to the front main entrance, I then try to book a taxi through the automated service for a pick up again without talking to the woman in the office and i get a nasty call back from her saying did you just try and book a taxi before and we told you we don't have anything available... I said yes i did why... im then told that they are refusing to supply me a taxi because ive supposedly wet myself and the middle eastern guy had told the office ive pissed myself which was the worst LIES ive heard to a reason why they wouldn't give me a taxi. first of all im 34 years of age and I don't piss myself and never have done, 2nd of all my pants were not wet at all from anything else (spilled drink, etc) The absolute disgusting taxi company wouldn't take me because im a large person (bariatric) with mobility issues! So i tell the woman i do not have any wet patches on my shorts and i just need a card to get me home as im stranded and need to get home (upset by this point as im cold and in pain) and the woman in a patronising voice keeps saying how they have no cars available and cannot get me a taxi, so i say to the woman, Are you refusing me service to which she replied yes for the rest of the day/night... By this point im fuming because of the lies and discrimination towards a bariatric person with limited mobility just trying to get home! All because the company's control room staff are incompetent of sending you the taxi for your need and there drivers are a bunch of lying scamming rats who make false claims to refuse to take you in their taxi. All the woman had to do from the control room was send me another car and apologise for the mistake, she could of even put it to me that the driver said what he did so i could address that i was not wet or had any wet patches on my shorts and that it could be due to poor lighting as it was dark outside and could of been a shadow. Baring in mind i was with 2 healthcare assistants as they helped me by pushing the wheel chair to the front of the hospital and stayed with me to chat and wait along with me. I have witnesses of the discrimination and lies from the drivers actions and the woman on the phone as it was on loud speaker every time! DO NOT USE THESE CLOWNS WHO LIE AND DISCRIMINATE YOU!!

How can I put this?…read more To say that Argyle Satellite are never on time would be quite the understatement. In some cases, they can be frustratingly early to the point that they arrive some 5 to 10 minutes before the time the journey was actually booked for before starting the meter on the app and overcharging you to the tune of 25 pence per minute despite them having arrived early. In other cases, they are so late that there is a greater chance of a herd of pastel-coloured pegasi appearing than there is of a taxi from this company appearing. In both cases, I find this to be particularly frustrating as due to personal circumstances, I have to use this company to get to and from work each day. Their monopoly in the Wirral does not help matters one bit. Furthermore, they have a peculiar proclivity for overcharging to the point I am convinced that they are the taxi company equivalent of the most capitalistic Ferengi in Star Trek, hoarding all their wealth like they're a fusion of Grand Nagus Zek and Liquidator Brunt. I would wager that Jeff Bezos were to spend all his wealth on taxi journeys using Argyle, he'd be able to afford 2 journeys, maybe 3 before finding himself destitute, and that's if the journey was from Birkenhead to Liverpool. If it were at all possible, I would rate the company 0, maybe -1 out of 5. Some of the drivers are nice, but that is a small plus in a sea of minuses.
