Nor have I ever experienced the chilling feeling that I might be being driven by a psychotic murderer-a not unfamiliar sensation in London mini-cabs. At very little extra charge they will pick up furniture in their large estate cars from anywhere in London-infinitely cheaper than a man with a van. You usually only have to wait a few seconds for them to pick up-please dont all use them-they are fabulous as they are!

I was very happy with the service provided by these guys. I arrranged a car to pick up my parents…read morefrom Heathrow the other day. When the driver was already at the airport, I got a call from my parents to say that they had been moved to a later flight which wouldn't be arriving until the next day. I went online to arrange a pick up for the following day, and was pleasantly surprised to find that I had not been charged for the initial booking. That was a nice touch, especially because the driver had been waiting for a long time, and ensured that I will book with Direct Cars every time I need a collection from the airport. As well as the great service they were the cheapest of all the quotes I got from the Kabbee website.

We've been using West End Lane cars for a few years, and they're our go-to minicab company. We've…read morealways found them reliable. We've also found them child- friendly. They seem to have an ample stock of car seats and booster seats and they're always patient with our slow-moving toddler load-in process. Minor complaints: although the cars are always comfortable and clean, they're usually a little old on the older side; and if you book in advance, they often turn up 5 to 10 minutes before the agreed-upon time. Obviously a minicab being too punctual isn't the worse complaint in the world.

The drivers are awesome. They are really good conversationalists and helpful. You should read up about their test if you are not aware already. It seems impossible to pass! Sounds as hard as the grand sommelier test. Interesting tidbit I got on one of the trips on this visit. Turns out Sylvester Stallone had ridden the cab and was super nice and gracious. Loved hearing that!

Love the ironic Black cabs! Research how much knowledge it takes to qualify for a Black cab driver!…read moreIt takes over 3 yrs of study! They are identified by their license number in the upper left corner of their car. It is safe and reliable. The fare is clearly posted in the cab, no surprises. The drivers are knowledgeable and helpful Unlike Uber, you know who is driving if you need to. Uber can be anyone . Research is key when traveling as you want to be safe before you get in the car, in a strange city ! Support the hard work of these can drivers ! Uber May be cheaper, but you get peace of mind in a black cab!

The driver met us at the suggested meeting place at LHR on time. Ditto Southampton cruise terminal pickup with a drop off at our London hotel. I'd booked with Blackberry if I'm ever in London again.
