Great service at short notice on a Saturday night

My girlfriend used the service for the first time and the guy was really gentle and really helpful. So I decided to use the service and booked the taxi. I told the guy 4 times that a I was near a specific hotel and he kept asking me do you stay there but no, it was only to let him understand where I was. Then during the travel I asked where it was the taximeter, just to know the price, he showed me the taximeter that was on his door side hanged to the wheel. Rudely he asked me if there was a problem with that with no reason as I told him I wanted only to check if he had it and because I told him that my girlfriend told me it was quite 30 for the ride. At the end, because I was paying by card, he first told me that I had to say it before then he said it was 1 more for that type of payment. After hearing that I told him, that is was strange as my girlfriend didn't tell me about it and he suddenly changed the price like he was doing me a favour to not pay the extra pound. Horrible experience, no more.

Had a bad experience with this company. Didn't collect my fiancee on time from the hotel on the morning of our wedding. Booked for 7.40am, rang at 7.50 saying they would be 25 minutes late. In the evening, the Taxi driver complained to us (bride and groom) about how long he'd had to wait for us to be finished, at our wedding. And indeed tried to enter the venue to get one of us to come out. Note that he came early then complained about the wait, wanting to charge us for the time he'd been waiting before our booking was due! Then got lost trying to get us to the Mere. It was a comedy of errors. I'd really struggle to recommend this company. Edit: the reply below just shows how obnoxious and awful this company is. Use at your peril. Imagine being rushed to leave your own wedding by a taxi driver. Never heard of anything more ridiculous in my life.
