Quite simply the best of the best!…read more Normally I'd feel quite uncomfortable in taxis (as a young female travelling alone ... we've all heard the stories) but for the past while Abbey Taxi have been using their brilliant text services to let you know the car has been dispatched to your address, that they're outside to pick you up and also what the make / colour and reg plate of the car is. It is just so helpful and REASSURING. It's handy enough the text service as it means there's less chance you miss your cab, but as I mentioned, if I feel uneasy all I have to do is let someone know how I'm getting home and voila I'm pretty safe as far as the taxi's concerned. I've had issues with taxi drivers before from other companies, but every single driver I've ever been picked up from Abbey will either banter away with you if you're in the mood or know quite rightly when you're not in the mood for chat. The company recently merged with Phone-A-Taxi so they've got many more drivers for your convenience. They've also recently moved to meters, I moaned about this for a while, until I realised that 9/10s of the time my fare has ended up at least a few quid cheaper. (This tip nearly always goes back to lucky taxi man!) Also, I've seen adverts 'Pay your taxi by credit card' which is just another great inventions! (I've haven't used this service yet, when I do I'll re-review) and I've just been on their new look website where soon you'll be able to book taxis online, handy for those 'phone phobics' among us (You know who you are!) In conclusion, all this makes me feel Abbey Taxi are without a doubt the number one cab company in this area. They are so up and coming, never fail to impress! Just hope they keep it up.

I only recently began to use this taxi company. The recently bought over Carnmoney taxis which I…read morehad used before. What I really like about these taxis is that they don't have a meter, and therefore charge a little bit less than the other main taxi companies in the city. One such example of this is the journey from my house to the city centre. Abbey charges me almost £2 less than other taxi companies. Another great thing that they do is send you a text when you car is being dispatch, and upon its arrival they send you a text of the license plate number and the make, model and colour of the car. This is incredibly useful when waiting outside a club dying to find your taxi to take you home. It makes it so much easier

My fiancée and I just had the worst service we've ever had from any industry when we chose…read moreNewtonabbey Taxis. We ordered a taxi from our home to the 24-hour Tesco at the Abbey Centre. Once we arrived, it was evident that the store was closed for extended Easter closures (this was just after 1am of the Wednesday morning after Easter). The taxi man explained that he didn't know they were closed himself, and we then asked him to take us home. He said he wouldn't because he had another job booked and was the only available driver that night, and recommended that we phone Abbey Taxis who could "probably get us quicker". This resulted in us paying the fare, leaving the taxi and having to wait for 30 minutes in the desolate car park on a taxi from another company. We are most disappointed in being left to fend for ourselves, and I am left wondering if the driver would have left my fiancée to wait alone if I had not been with her. We should not have been ejected from the taxi until we were happy with our destination, and this practice is most worrying if it leaves people stranded in poorly lit areas like we were. We will not ever be using Newtonabbey Taxis again, and will be warning others about our experience too!

Coastal cabs is a five star taxi service that serves North Down and the Ards Peninsula. I can not…read morereally say a bad word about Coastal Cabs. They are good for tourists or people who are not from the area as they know all the nooks and crannies of the Ards Peninsula. Coastal Cabs will take you the scenic route or if you want to get somewhere quickly they will take you down those old country roads that still have grass growing in the middle. Te only thing to be careful with if you are calling Coastal cabs is that during the week they operate only until 12 midnight. The fares are great and they will always give you an honest price. You can almost guarantee good banter from the drivers, they are the eyes and ears of the local community and will tell you all the gossip/news before it hit's the papers. So if you want an entertaining ride call Coastal Cabs.

The drivers are pleasant and friendly, and the fares are reasonable - I can remember one particular night when it was really freezing and there was ice and snow everywhere - but the boss man himself came to collect us in his people carrier, braving the hazardous conditions and driving very expertly on the slippery, scary ice too. One downside - I can't be certain of this but they either don't have enough drivers or the drivers don't clock on in large numbers as there have been times I've called them and they've not been able to accommodate me for the time I require. Minor point, as it doesn't happen that often.

We ordered the seven-seater taxi because there were quite a few of us, and it picked me up first then made a few stops, and then headed onto the King's Hall via the Westlink/M1 motorway. He could have totally taken advantage of us and gone certain routes that would have meant we paid more than we should have, but he didn't - he was honest and decent and did his very best to get us as close to the venue as possible without taking advantage, considering my friend is on crutches at the moment and has limited mobility. The price wasn't a rip off and the taxi was on time and the driver was helpful and courteous, helping my pal in and out and making sure she was okay. I would use them again.
