The drivers could use some common sense and not honk horns in front of apartment buildings at all hours of the day and night.

I would have thought trying to book a taxi on Christmas Day would be a nightmare but on calling there where no issues and so l booked my journey. The driver that took me to destination was not sure where he was and had to ask me for directions in the end l had to look up google maps on my phone to find our way. The taxi stank badly of stale cigarette smoke & eggs,the fair was £20.00. On the homeward journey l booked the same taxi service again. The driver was polite & chatty but the fair was only £12.00. With going to the same destinations you would have thought the fair would have been the same or similar, something is wrong it there is £8.00 if a difference before tip. read more

Happy customer :) Thank you read more

Network private hire is the number I have in my phone and I only settle for the best, so by rights they must be good, that was a gag but they are good only thing is if you want to phone a taxi in advance you need to call half an hour before at least, cheaper than black cabs and sometimes there is even good chat from the drivers. But if you see a private hire car in the city centre at night (after clubs n pubs have shut) ignore it they suggest ridiculous prices so stick to the black cab. I'm talking about 3, 4 times more than it should cost them. read more

Network Private Hire - from website - Taxis Near Me

No wonder there are only a couple of reviews. Even the people who reviewed probably found another cab company. I believe the Father who owns city/network has passed it on to his sons who do not care who they hire so inevitable there are thieves and cars with one ID and if you look closely you will see the same photo ID for two or three drivers using it (probably an immigration scam). The law states that when either your wallet handbag or phones are left in their cab it should be handed to NEAREST police station. I'm writing this because I left my third smartphone in a cab And only when I used my Kaspersky security setting off an alarm taking a mug shot and followed driver all day on GPS while he passed at least two police stations and displaying on screen that I'd go to police with his and his sons mug shots did he I think to hand it in to a police station at another side of city. I can only believe that was to make my life even harder ( As I have no phone to call police station ) it worked. Ashok ( I think his name Is) I will put his reg his address and full name if I do not get this phone back) I did not even get a reply to my many emails to network cars BE WARNED PEOPLE do ureselves a favour and use another company. I after 4yrs will do the same. read more

Unfortunately there is not an option for no stars. One of the worst taxi experiences I have had. We had just been picked up from Glasgow airport after flying in from Dublin on a Sunday evening.The taxi driver was extremely rude and insulting (he even said he 'didn't like Dublin as a city', charming). He didn't offer to put our bags in the boot of the car even though we had luggage with us. He was an extremely aggressive driver - speeding and then having to slam down on the brakes as a result. To top off our journey, he sped off with one of our bags still in the back seat of the car. We shouted, flailed our hands and even chased after the taxi but he didn't see us which is very worrying - another example of how unobservant and potentially dangerous he is as a driver. After calling Network Cabs to explain the situation they had the audacity to charge us £5 for the taxi driver to drop off our bag - yes we literally had to pay for his mistake. NEVER use this taxi company. NEVER read more

I have been through my fair share of private taxi hire break-ups. For a long time, I just kept picking out the wrong companies. Yes, private hire and I have often had our wee fallings out, as there seem to be precious few Glasgow cabs that meet the golden criteria. 1. Reasonable pricing 2. Good telephone manner 3. Good ring-back / text service 4. Arrives in a timely manner, especially when booked in advance 5. Nice drivers not bent on sleezing on you / speeding / world domination Network, for the past couple of years, have met these magical 5 points for me. Not only that, but their service is actually improving rather than getting gradually worse (yes, I'm looking at you Hampden Cars). This seems to be a business that actually thrives by listening to customer feedback. The prices have remained consistantly kind to the ol' wallet, and the cabbies have always been nice, efficient and full of banter. It doesn't usually cost more than £5.50 for a taxi into town from my flat, and other companies have tried to charge over £10 for the same mileage. Since I started using this service, they have brought in automated booking. This means if you've hired them before from your home or business, when you call from a landline you only have to press 1 to book a car for that address. Nifty? I think so. If you don't like using this or have a special request, you can still press another button to speak with an operator. Another great thing about this service is that if you call back and your car has been dispatched, it tells you how long ago the cabbie picked up the job and the make, model and colour of the car you are expecting. You will always get a ring-back when the cab is there. If you book from a mobile, you will always be directed to an operator (well, you could be anywhere, let's face it), and you don't get a ring-back service. You can ask for a text back, but you will be charged for this. I don't mind, though, as the last thing you want after waiting in the street for your taxi is for it to be poached by someone else. Again, the taxi make, model and colour will be supplied on the text message, so it's much easier to spot yours coming. Don't be shy, give it a try. ^^ read more

Absolutely no complaints about these guys in all the years i've used them. About the best thing you can say about a cab company is that they arrive when they say they will, they don't sound miserable when you call them and they don't charge you an arm and a leg for the journey. On all three counts these guys hit the mark. I use them even when i'm just out of town, say Bishopbriggs, and they still seem to be pretty reliable and not horrifically expensive. Thumbs up to you guys and a cab company well worth a shout. read more

I can't believe that any of the 5 star reviews are genuine. Anything other than 1 star is suspicious. I would give ZERO stars if I could. Shocking company. Shocking customer service. Was told they would call you if your car didn't show up 30 minutes after the time you'd booked it for. 30 minutes! Should be 5 minutes, so you've got enough time to source another service. Don't use them and force them to do something about their despicable service. read more

Since there has not been a recent review in a few years I thought I would add my tuppence worth. Ive lived in north glasgow for 10 years now and network have been my local company. I have never had any problems with booking in advance and 9/10 times the taxi is there on time. They always send a text with details of the car that is picking you up which is great for females who are travelling alone. I personally find their fares quite reasonable. £15 from north glasgow to the airport. Sometimes the drivers will try and take a long route for a short cut but i usually tell them what way to go when i get in to stop this. Pretty happy customer so far and will continue to use network for the forseeable future. read more

All in all, this is a good, solid taxi company. I've been used Netword for years and I've never had any complaints when it comes to the company or booking service. As mentioned by other Yelpers, some drivers can be a tad odd but the majority of them are nice blokes and there's one Brummy driver I get all the time that always recommends and Indian Restaurant to me but can never remember the name of it...or where it is! Network do a flat rate to Glasgow Airport and one you included tip it is still less than £17. If you, like me, have a job that means you finish when the streets are pouring with weekend warriors, then tell them you are staff and give them the landline number of the place you work. They give you two rings when they're waiting outside. Perfect read more

Waited 55 minutes for a taxi that never showed up! As continuously told that it was on it way and at one point told it wouod be less than 2 minutes and I should wait. 27 mins later I got another taxi company. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. They aren't any better or cheaper than the alternatives. Called the company to make a complaint and was basically told, sorry for your wait but it was your choice to keep waiting. Not happy at all. read more

Network are rather reasonable, they are much cheaper than many cab companies and even from the further end of the South Side to the West End is never anymore than £10. (The same journey can be as much as £18 with other cab companies, cough, Eastwood Mearns, cough. They do have their fair share of oddball drivers though as I discovered a few months ago when instead of being told how much the journey was I was asked how much I wanted to pay. A little bit of an awkward situation to be honest. Although last night waited half an hour for a taxi and when it didn't show I called and they said it had already been - absolute nonsense as I was waiting outside in the freezing cold desperately searching but nobody arrived. I eventually had to book a black cab. read more

I've been using this taxi company for quite a while now and I've never had any problems. In fact, I'd say they fulfil my top taxi criteria... 1) They speak to you on the phone in a polite, efficient manner. 2) Taxis are usually always available when you want them 3) The taxis arrive on time 4) The company give you a one-ringer so you don't catch frostbite waiting on your street corner 5) They taxi driver will often give you banter, but not so much that you end up talking about Margaret Thatcher 6) The taxis are good value for money- significantly cheaper that black cabs. Score. read more

I'm not even sure if they are the best, but this has been the only taxi company I've used for years. Prices are decent, especially if you're going quite far, and they send a text with the model and reg number of your car shortly before it arrives, which is invaluable if you're waiting at a busy spot laden with potential taxi thieves. Service times are usually quick but obviously at weekends / holidays you may find yourself standing in the street ogling the horizon more than hoped. When i get in a taxi I expect top drawer converstion, and a few Alf Garnett types aside, Network often deliver. Recommended. read more

I just waited for FOURTY MINUTES in the freezing cold for my taxi. Last time it was 25 minutes. There won't be a next time.

I have been a customer with your Network Private Hire company (NPH) since I came to Glasgow. Drivers usually nice and polite. However, three days ago, I booked a taxi to take us from the Gorbals health centre to home. I was with my wife and my two children. However, the driver refused to pick us up, and she said that is because my wife was wearing Hijab (cover her face). My wife is able to show the driver her face (because they both women) if the driver requested, but the driver does not negotiate. I called the company and they said we can not do anything about it. They only send another driver who apologised, but it was not his fault. This is unacceptable and unprofessional acting. I am sure this is because I have a beard, and we are Muslims. It will affect all drivers who work under NPH company. Personally, I cannot trust NPH anymore because the driver today did this thing in front of my children. I always teach my children to deal with people as individual, but today driver confused them with the opposite. As I said, I have reported this to the company, but they said it is a private Hire and did not give me any further information, and they send another taxi. I think I had to review this her, so people become aware if something similar happen. read more

Certainly the biggest firm and their text system is excellent. Standard of drivers is poor, little or no knowledge of the city, quite often little English and a tendency to blast their horns on arrival despite having previously mentioned text system. Sitting while they search for a post code drives me insane. I would rather pay for a hackney read more

Much, much cheaper than your typical black cab. If you're willing to wait 10-15 minutes for your cab (and you have less than 4 people travelling with you) then it really is bang for your buck. The fact they don't call or text you when they're coming can be annoying. And if you don't know to look for their yellow sticker it can be confusing as to what car they're coming in. read more

Very agressive controller. We paid 3 pounds to cancel a taxi that arrived early on in the day, and when we wanted four more taxi later on, they refused to send out any because we had cancelled previously. We had to cancel the first one as it the person getting the taxi had urgent business to attend, and just grabbed a taxi on the road, so when the taxi came, we paid the driver for their hassle in getting here. But when we tried to order more taxis later the controller was very aggressive down the phone, and refused to listen to any reason. Network Private Hire has generally been good to us previously, but this controllers attitude has been totally unnecessary. We are very unsatisfied with the service. read more

Disgrace. I've been a regular customer with network all of my life always had a good customer service until today when asked for money upfront for a 3 pound fare I've never been so insulted. I was advised it's not just me it's my full street to pay up front which i think is unfare considering they know im a regular that has never had a problem or gave a problem. I will not be using them again and wouldn't recommend to a friend either. read more

The worst taxi service I got in years. Used it 2 times and from now on I will avoid for ever. Absolutely the rudest telephone manners. Had to wait 15-20 minutes on very normal Monday evening. I never got a text about taxi arriving. Drivers didn't know there way. And the worst is that driver drove away before I managed to get my bag from the boot, After calling company to get my bag back , I heared that this is not their problem and I have to go to police to the department of lost properties. They refused any help, didn.t want to call the driver back, didn't want to connect me with a supervisor or manager (operators were very rude and tried to finish conversation as soon as possible ). I am lost in words how awful I felt after this service, as I had priceless things in this bag and stuff I desperately need for work and school. read more

THE worst taxi service I have ever come across, booked them TWO weeks in advance which apparently had no impact on them arriving on time, spoke to multiple reps on the phone who were equally arrogant and aloof to our situation and who told us our booking was irrelevant to when we got picked up, genuinely no point in booking with them, completely no regard for service, would recommend to never use this "taxi service" EVER. RECEIVED TAXIS FASTER PHONING ON SITE. Would give this negative rating if possible, horrible. read more

Ordered taxi 1615 hrs for 1830. Phoned 1835 for explanation for "no show". Told job was just being given. 1840 had to use own car rather than be discourteous to host of function. Journey required - Broomhill Cross area to Charing Cross. Reason for early booking - to be sure of availability of transport. Conclusion - shall not be bothering Network Private Hire again. read more

Just awful! Try to overcharge you every time you use them and then argue with you about the distance between your house to the adress youre getting picked up from! No good man at all. Had enough!Avoid avoid avoid avoid! read more

The short: Taxi driver told us to get lost because he wanted a better fare. The Long: I had been using Network for a few months occasionally for weekday daytime visits, purely on the basis that they were the first number given to me. They are not bad for that purpose and would recommend. However for Halloween evening I was out with work colleagues on a staff evening out and we went for a meal and a few drinks. I ordered a taxi from network heading Southside. After about 10-15 minutes a taxi arrived and was sat there so I wandered up and gave my name "Yup that's it" said the taxi driver, so I waved my friends over and confirmed he could go to one of their addressed on the southside - he suddenly balked and said "Oh what is your surname", which I gave and he stated "no that's wrong, my taxi is for a different surname going to the west end". Me and my coworkers sat tight for 10 minutes before calling back to ask where our taxi was. At this point I was told that the Taxi had arrived but decided that I personally was too drunk to receive his services. I should add at this point that Halloween is a Thursday evening this year and as such we were all making it into work the next day, and zero embarrassments happened - so us 30-50's probably were not too badly off. Ultimately the taxi driver decided to ditch us in favour of some other fare which is disgraceful as I don't expect a taxi driver to turn up then decide I'm not worth it and whizz off. Used once a month before this and will never be using again that is for sure, and I would personally advise anyone I know to do the same! read more

So first of all get a text saying taxi has arrived. Go down the stairs to find the taxi at the end of the street not actually on our street at all. Taxi driver was talking to someone else so We asked if this taxi was for us, which it was. The taxi then just drove away from us with not explanation when we tried to get into it. I then proceeded to phone the company and they tell us that "we were too drunk" to get into the taxi which is lies because we were all fine, hadn't even had a drink yet,hence the fact we were going into town and the driver wouldn't have even been able to tell anyway. The person on the phone didn't seem to give a shit which is fair enough, I wouldn't either but the driver was arsehole and had no right to just drive away. Get some decent drivers!!! Reg no SB64YSK White sokda rapid driver "didn't feel safe" picking up 4 girls absolute disgrace read more

This company used to be good. But, recently I got all of the bad experience with this company. Couple of times with no taxi arrived and went to the wrong place. And had to wait longer for another car to come. The latest experience is with my wife and wee baby. I was away and suggested her to call a cab from Network Private Hire. When a driver came, he did not want to pick her up because of the baby. The law clearly stated you can travel with baby in the rear seat with a taxi. But, he just left my wife struggling on the road. This is my last time with the company. I would rather call different other taxis next time. read more

I waited for over 2 hours for a taxi, after being quoted a time of 40 minutes. The staff, when queried several times about this, were repeatedly unhelpful and unfriendly, to the point of hanging up on me when I refused to drop the issue. I had been working and was up again early the next day for work, which i told them, although this had no discernible impact on their level of accommodation, as they simply told me to keep waiting and offered absolutely no help or information. A shambles from start to finish, had I known from the start I would have never called this company. read more

I booked a taxi at half past five and the guy on the phone said it won't be long. After 15 mins I called back to ask how long because he didn't specify. Same guy answered and snidely said I wasn't the only one waiting and it will be there "soon". 50 minutes later I receive the text confirming the car. Called another company who were there within 10 minutes. Would not use again and there staff need to work on their customer service. read more

Used them twice before. Everything went smooth on those instances. On the third try, however, the car never came. Called for a car approx. two hours ahead. Went out at the pickup point and waited for THIRTY minutes and the car never came. I called Network after waiting for 15 minutes. The operator said that the car would come in 4-5 minutes. It never did. Called after waiting for thirty minutes (in total) and the operator said two drivers came. Total rubbish! I was waiting outside at the pickup point and never saw your car. At no point did the driver or company contact me if they were lost or clarifications. Worst, they say that they will not send a car out. I had to call another car company. read more

Horribly rude guy at the taxi call centre and quite expensive :/ definitely never calling for a taxi again.

I would really not recommend this company - no stars would be better. Last week I booked a taxi for 7.15 and by 7.25 it was not there (I was looking out the window for it). They said the driver had been sitting there and waited but then went. They said another one would be sent but it did not arrive until nearly 8am. I was late for an important business trip which looks unprofessional. There was no text message sent which is bad for security as a woman travelling alone. The lady on the phone could not have been more horrible and unhelpful. read more

On a visit to Glasgow on 27th January 2018 used this Company. It was a terrible experience. Cab was late, it stank and the driver appeared not to be fully conversant in Scottish/English. For half of the journey he was watching an Asian video on his smart phone which was held in a cradle in his eyeline. The volume was turned right up and it made for a most uncomfortable ride. He was asked to turn it off twice and pretended not to understand. It was only when Police and Licencing were mentioned that he turned it off. His standard of driving was so poor that we had the view that he did not possess a U.K. licence. It was our view that this was an accident waiting to happen. I would not use this Company again as I would be fearful of getting this driver. I am sure he is not typical of their drivers but I for one would not take the risk. I have approached Netwok Taxis and gave them three days to take some action before I posted this review. They have not responded. Posted with regret. read more

I have had the most horrible experience with Network Taxis in the recent past. I requested for a taxi from Munro place,Anniesland to Scotson which is only a distance 0f 5-7 mins by cab. As i had picked my child after work she was very tired and cranky, the moment we sat in the cab my daughter started crying. The taxi driver told me that he will not be able to drive if my child keeps crying, i tried to pacify my child for 5mins, with not much success. The taxi driver was had no intention to move the car, looking at the situation i request the driver to start the cab as the child will calm down once the cab starts moving. We reached the destination 7-8 mins, the fare told to me by the driver was 4.80 pounds. I handed over 10 pounds to him. He returned me 5 pounds and said "THAT'S IT". I told him that he owes me 20pence more, he huffed and puffed it and said he does not have the change. I asked him as to what change does he have and started saying that it is typical of you people...I WILL CALL THE POLICE...on which i said that it is up to me to give you a tip, he should not decide wheather i should leave a tip or not. I will NOT recommend this TAXI service to anyone...!!!! read more

Just received the WORST service ever!! Called at 8.45pm for a taxi to be at a certain place for 9.10pm. It wasn't there and I called them back and they said one was there at 9.17pm and saw no one and drove away. NONSENSE. So, the controller said he'll send another one. After waiting another 20 minutes, I phoned back again and they said the driver has already been and picked the person up! Which is also nonsense again since when I called the 2nd time the controller has said it would be a silver Skoda that would come, never saw any Skodas at all! So I called again and the controller was rude and said it wasn't his fault and pushing the blame on to others. Obviously the 3rd taxi didn't come either after that. I just ended up calling another company. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. AVOID! Also, the one hour I wasted waiting on them, I was waiting in the COLD AND RAIN!!! read more

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE my sons were both going out for an evening but needed separate taxis as they were going to separate parts of the city so called Network. Phoned first taxi and was still waiting and chasing this up after 50 minutes. After phoning up for the third time was told it would be there soon, eventually it turned up another 15 minutes later. Although we were angry we thought this was a one off and stupidly ordered another one and guess what? 105 minutes later, 7 phone calls and still no taxi. Give this firm a big MISS, use Bishopbriggs private hire or even Key Cabs as they at least answer the phone to let you know what is happening with your cab. read more
