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.

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.

Alan found this company on Cruise Critic and made arrangements for us to be transported from our…read moreLondon hotel to the dock in Southampton where our cruise ship awaited. Mick was our driver and he was not only on time, he was 15 minutes early. When the hotel front desk staff wasn't helpful in contacting us to let us know he was there, Mick was patient and persistent and we connected, almost by chance in the lobby as our luggage was being brought down. The luggage was loaded into the trunk of Mick's new Hyundai, an attractive model not found in the US as far as I know. He skillfully and courteously drove us out of London, though traffic and right up to the terminal where the ship was docked. He made excellent time and good conversation as well. The cost was about £125, which seems reasonable for that distance and for the convenience of door-to-door transportation. We would use Smith's again. Alan's only complaint was that the car wasn't a bit larger, because he felt cramped in the back seat.

I went to their web page and filled out the electronic form. Within 30 minutes, I had a quote of 92 pounds- roughly $150.00 each way (300.00 round trip) for all three people and all our luggage. The cruise line on the other hand offered a transfer via bus, with restrictions on the amount and weight of our luggage for 100.00 USD per person each way ($600.00). I booked via email and they answered my emails within minutes. I had a last minute change in pickup location (See my review of the Heathrow Sheraton) and emailed Smith's. It wasn't a problem.... They replied in minutes. They showed up in a almost brand new mini van and were on time. The drivers were polite and dressed professionally. Upon pickup, I again had a last minute change of pickup times.... Easily done via email. I would highly recommend Smith's for transportation needs in and out of Heathrow
