"Hi Jenni! How can we help?"…read more "Erm... hello?" This friendly exchange is set to put me at my ease, but the first time it happened I felt confused and a little bit scared! How did the stranger from the taxi firm know my name? Well, simply, whenever you book a taxi through Streamline Taxi, the friendliest cabbies in Bristol, they'll save your name and phone number to greet you for the next time. And it's likely that there will be a next time once you start using Streamline. They're always on time, call you the minute they're outside wherever they're picking you up (great for not waiting in the cold outside the pub) and will take you the quickest possible route. But my favourite thing about them is how personable all of their drivers are. I had the same driver take me and pick me up from a birthday party, and he remembered what I'd bought them, how old they were and who was going. "Did they like the photo album?" Fantastic! Streamline taxis may not be the cheapest firm in town but they are the most reliable, friendly and convenient.

This is my taxi service of choice - they're a very efficient firm and one of, if not the best, in…read moreBristol. They automatically remember your number if you've used them before, so when you ring them up again they'll know your name. This can be a little bit scary, but shows their level of efficiency and I have no problem with them doing so. They've been operating in the city since 1937, so clearly know it well. They promise a taxi within 10 minutes of your call, unless at very busy periods, in which case they'll tell you the soonest they can get there. The drivers have always been friendly in an honest way - you can often get those who force conversation in order to to receive a tip, but their drivers don't generally try to do so. All in all a very good firm, and I can recommend the safety and efficiency of their drivers.

Since moving to Bristol some seven years ago I have used many different taxi services. At first…read moreglance there is little to define one from another. They all send cars, they all get you from A to B and they have all crept their prices slowly up over the years. In my opinion Bristol City Cars has risen above the others. I like the fact that they keep their shop looking nice and colourful. I like having a central office on Gloucester Road I can walk into. They're open 24/7 too and while their prices are admittedly following the current order of taxis nationwide, they do provide a friendly professional service. Which is what you want really, isn't it?

Just a tiny counter, you have to make your way through various loiterers (who will probably turn out to be your driver) to ask for a cab through the bullet proof screen. Wait time varies, but they are normally pretty quick. I have never called for a cab to visit me from these guys, I just use them to get home when I'm in this area, and they are a reasonable price. Also they are 24 hours when some places shut up shop. The other number you can call is 0117 9444 666.

There are two firms in Bristol that I do like, however, this one and another I will also review). City Link have a little shop/booth that you can sit in and wait (good for safety on a late night out). Their drivers are friendly, know their way around the city in intricate detail and don't charge an arm and a leg for a journey across the city. Can't say much more than that - but I recommend you try them for ease of travel and reliability alone.

My sister lives just up the road from this little cab company, and we have used and appreciated their services many a time.

This is their review to me - "The taxi firm is never to be used again. It was clear they were not going to collect us until we rang them.
