A friend needed to go to hospital early this morning for a medical procedure. They were stressed…read moreand so, I offered to book and pay for their taxi. The booking went fine and I was sent a link to pay the £32 fare. I was paying with a UK card, but I was at the time in Spain. My card notifications told me that the payment had been authorised. But no taxi came. I went back on and they suggested I asked someone to pay in the UK. Which I did and payment was taken. But no taxi arrived, and panic set in. I contacted the firm - and was told that the system closes the booking down after a period of time (which makes sense). But it would have been helpful to have been given that information when I reported my problem - leading to me paying via a Uk situated person. And it would be better if the system sent a notification that the order was cancelled/time cancelled. And it would have been better if ONCE AN ORDER HAS BEEB TIME CANCELLED that the system would not STILL accept payment. The hospital appointment was missed.
On a Monday we called City Wide taxis and got a taxi from our home to The Pompey Centre (B&Q) and…read morepaid £5.50 which is the usual fee as we have done the journey several times. The driver was polite and said that he had picked us up many times before. One hour later we called City Wide to take us home the same route but this time a different taxi driver of the same company asked for £6.20 and when I complained to him that he had over charged me he said "that's the price" and sped off after initially ignoring me, he was very rude and is conduct was totally opposite to the outward journey driver. We rang City Wide to complain and "Cara" said after checking that the charge for that route is £5.40 and took our details and promised to get the manager, who was off, to call us back, he didn't hence this email to you. The taxi driver cab was number 207 and the car was a blue Skoda Octavia registration number HN66FEH. Whilst we appreciate that this is a small over charge of 70p we are getting concerned that this is more the usual practise rather than a one off and this coupled with no reply from the manager is not good practise. Use AQUA they also have faults but they have never overcharged me or not responded when assistance is needed.

I think Aqua cars are the biggest private hire car firm in Portsmouth - they have 100s of cars, and…read moreare cheaper than flagging down or taxi or getting one from a taxi rank. You have to phone to book an Aqua car and they will usually give you an estimated time of arrival - often the car will arrive before that. If you are travelling alone at night, and you phone from your mobile to book a car, they will text you when it is on it's way and give you the registration number so you know you are safe to get in the car. The drivers vary in their knowledge of Portsmouth and the 'chattiness' but I have never encountered a rude or unsafe driver.

I said I don't like the way you are talking to us n I'll try find the change.. he shouted there's a bloody shortcut over there .. by this point I was very upset .. I have a chronic disability .. I said I can't walk distance at all.. he said well I didn't know that but the shortcut is over there .. I said I'm reporting this it's unbelievable your attitude.. he said yeah but can't believe you took a taxi n don't have £3.50 there's a bloody shortcut.., beyond discramantory of any disability.. n the hotel had their sign up I'll be suggesting they don't.. to be honest I've never been so upset it was completely abusive

I am not going to write my opinion of this cab company, it would sound biased. I will simply tell…read morewhat happened and you can make your own minds up. Personally I think think they are super. My dog ate something that was poisonous to her, (currents, sultanas etc) she snaffled some Christmas cake! This could have killed her. It was imperative to get her to the emergency vet as soon as possible to get it out of her stomach, time was critical. I only had about thirty minutes left to get her from Hedge End to the vets in southampton. It was the middle of the night, (28th Dec), it would take me best part of an hour to walk down there, too late to save my dog. I called Hedge End taxis, explaining my predicament. The lady on the phone was courteous, and more important to me at the time, efficient. I had a cab arrive in minutes. Unlike many taxis I have grown dis-satisfied with in this area, the driver also was courteous, knew his job, exactly how to get there, comunicated exceptionally well, and got me to the vet in double quick time. I made it to the vets in time for them to induce vomiting with injection, and thankfully the offending poison was expelled. Thanks to the old fashioned EXCELLENT service I encountered, I still have my beautifull boxer dog alive and well. I can not put a price to this. Having experienced diabolical service from many Southampton taxi services in the past, I am compelled to write this review. Had I called one of them, I have no doubt I would not have been able to save her. Thank you Hedge End taxis, from the bottom of my heart.
