Pre-booked a taxi an hour beforehand for me and my dog, was told I'd have to wait for a driver who…read morewas willing to take the dog, which is fair. Got the confirmation saying my driver was on their way, 25 minutes later still no driver so I phoned Hampden Cars to find out what was going on. The man on the phone told me the driver had been cancelled as he didn't want to take the dog (why pick up the job in the first place then?) I was then told it would be at least an hour wait for another cab. I told the man on the phone to just cancel the job and I would try with a different company, he misheard me and thought I said I'd get a decent company, when I tried to rectify the mistake he was rude to me and hung up on me. So overall zero professionalism and zero communication. Putting 2 stars as I have had a good journey with them before but tonight has been ridiculous.

A taxi firm is a taxi firm I suppose, but I tend to prefer Network to this outfit. Quite recently…read morewe had a somewhat stressful ride with a driver who couldn't work his new sat-nav, and gave the impression that at any minute he could go on a murderous rampage akin to Michael Douglas in Falling Down. They're operators can also be a tiny bit arsey if you call back to check when your cab is on the way, and they don't send a handy text when your car is on the way either. That said, nine out of ten journeys with Hampden go swimingly, and I recently had a driver who gave some intelligent, culturally minded chat, rather than the tired "send 'em all back" monologue you often expect. Not my first choice cab firm, but still four stars.

This is a new taxi company to the East Renfrewshire area and I gave them a go last week after…read moreseeing their HQ on the Busby roundabout and reading Mara's review. Firstly, I had an issue with the app. I booked the taxi but I couldn't see the tracking of the taxi to arrive, which was a little frustrating. When the taxi arrived it was because there was something wrong with his system, and he phoned into HQ on loudspeaker while I was in the car and then I needed to give him directions some of the way. I also didn't love his driving style as it made me a little nervous. They're clearly trying to offer a premium service vs Eastwood Mearns taxis, with water in the car and free wifi. The price was very cheap as well, £5.50 compared to £7 for a taxi from Newton Mearns to Clarkston. Maybe I just had a less-than-perfect experience but I think I will probably stick with Eastwood Mearns as I've always been pleased with their service.

We had an excellent experience with Raz Taxis during our trip to Glasgow and Stirling. We used the…read moreservice multiple times--both for airport transfers to and from Edinburgh Airport and getting around--and every journey was smooth and stress-free. Traveling with two young children can be a challenge, but the owner, Amar, made it incredibly easy. Communication was clear and prompt and he was always punctual, which gave us peace of mind, especially for catching our flight. The car was spotless, spacious, and comfortable, with properly fitted and clean car seats already in place--something that's hard to find. Most importantly, Amar was personable and so good with our young kids that they hugged him like family when he arrived to take us on our final trip to the airport. He went above and beyond to help us with bags and logistics and made a big effort to get me back my phone when I left it in the back of his car during the kid wrangling (thanks Amar!). Highly recommend this service to anyone traveling in Glasgow (also for Edinburgh Airport transfers), especially families. We'll absolutely book again next time we're in town!

I was going from Aros Dr Mosspark Glasgow G52 to Cairnhill just outside Airdrie to see my beloved partner Lorna. After expecting a very long delay the taxi was outside the house within 5 minutes. The driver Tony is one of thee kindest most helpful genuine nicest person i have met in years. I felt like i was getting VIP chauffeur service. When we got to my destination i could not believe how low the fare was i said Tony please double check surely it must be so much more. Tony rechecked and said no Michael that is the correct fare. Once at Lorna's the first thing i done was to phone Pacific Cars to thank Tony and them for a 5 star service for a 1 star price. Truly truly sublime outstanding service. Wow wow wow !!!!!!

So Uber has arrived in Glasgow. I've used this service in many other cities but really wasn't sure…read moreabout using it in Glasgow as I've never really had an issue getting taxis. We'd finished a boozy brunch yesterday and I decided to book an Uber home. Firstly, you need to watch for surge pricing. This pops up as a notification when you try to search for a taxi but I think they could have another reminder in the process, just so you really know what you'll be paying. It came up with 1.5x surge (meaning you pay 1.5x the normal rate because there's a high demand). I just cancelled and waited a few minutes before checking again, and the surge period had finished. I like the app and find it really easy to use - no worrying about where your taxi is because you can see it on the map, no worrying about paying by card or having cash as it's all done in the app so you just hop out at the end. Our taxi arrived within a few minutes and we were on our way. A trip into the city centre for us with our usual taxi company is £12.50, this ride was just £14, so the prices aren't really too different (our taxi company had a 15 minute + wait). I'm not going to say that I'd use Uber all the time in Glasgow but they're definitely handy to have. Also, in my experience (probably 30+ rides with Uber in various cities) the drivers tend to keep the cars in excellent condition.

I visited Glasgow yesterday for a day trip and as we arrived at the bus station I thought I'd check…read moreif there was any Uber cars around and was pleasantly surprised to find there was about 10 cars in and around the area. Über has only recently arrived to Belfast so any time I've checked there is never any cars available. Our car arrived within minutes - I think this is my favourite thing about Uber - you can tell exactly how much time you have before your car is going to arrive. So you can finish off your drinks and walk outside exactly as your taxi arrives. Our driver was pleasant and chatty. He mentioned that he can review passengers and that passengers can also rate him. (Little did he know that we were Yelp Elites and he was getting reviewed anyway). The fair from the bus station to the west end area of Glasgow cost less that £5 and the receipt was emailed to me within minutes of getting out of the car. It just comes straight out of your bank so there's no worrying about stopping for cash. All in all a great experience with Uber and I'll definitely use them again!

I've been refraining from taking taxis recently due to a severe lack of funds, but when I was out…read moreat Ikea and faced with the thought of carting flatpack back home on a bus, I opted for a cab. I usually end up getting TOA taxis because you can flag them down at the last minute. But I can report Southside Cars gave me and my boyfriend amazing service! Their number is displayed within Ikea's exit hall so they are used to doing pick ups which require a bit of lifting. Not only were they efficient but we were lucky enough to get one of the most friendly and entertaining taxi drivers I've had in ages, who was telling us all about his adventures. He also helped me lift my flat packed goodies out to my door, and all for under a tenner! I stay on the north side of the city so I don't usually call this company since they'd have a long way to go. But from what I gather they don't seem to mind travelling for a hire, and seem to jump at the chance of going a fair distance in the car. Really good service that was above par, and the best service I've had from a private taxi company!
