I have learned from audacious experience that you should stick to firms that operate in your area…read morefrom Manchester. When staying at friends in Salford, this taxi firm was great and so responsive it always arrives on time when ordered. When you ring up the staff are friendly to talk to and normally only takes a ring for them to answer you. You can trust this firm to pick you up at club kicking at times when the streets are bustling with punters for taxis. However, Swan they never give in and stick to picking up there customers who have pre-ordered. I find swan to be one of the most reliable private hire in town

Lucky me, it was raining torrentially on my recent visit up north and I needed to get from Salford…read moreto Manchester Piccadilly to catch my late evening train. I debated the wisdom of heading towards the tram stop in my strappy sandals and realised, once I'd braved the elements, that was far from the most sensible option. Hooray for the cab I spotted, close to the entrance of the Lowry! I shook the water off and jumped-in, to be greeted - in a very friendly manner - by the driver who obligingly drove me a brief distance away, to the closest tram stop. He was pleasantly chatty with a good sense of humour and didn't bat an eyelid, or seem at all concerned, that it was such a short (and cheap) journey.

For Safety and Efficiency, Cavalier Radio Cars should be your first choice…read more We have all talked to a taxi driver whether drunk from a night out on the town or on a long trip home from shopping, and we all ask the same questions; such as "What time are you working till?" With Cavalier Radio Cars, there is no need to worry about striking up a conversation as their friendly drivers are fun and easy to talk to. They pick you up when and where you want quickly and hassle-free. They take you where you want cheaply and promptly. They are a great taxi firm and placed just a few yards from all the bars and nightclubs in Stalybridge, so getting home has never been so easy! They don't empty your pocket or have plastic shields. Your ride home is comfortable and clean and most of all enjoyable! There is never a problem with this local business so next time you book a taxi, I suggest you use Cavalier.

The other night around a quarter past midnight, a friend and I were in need of a knight in shining…read moresteel. We were at Heaton Park Metrolink Station and we had two bad situations: 1. The ticket machine that accepts notes wasn't working and I only had two crisp ten pound notes. Plus my friend had already bought a ticket - bummer. Also, we weren't sure which was the last tram going in to Manchester. 2. A boy (he shall remain nameless) was relieving himself in the station and shouting out my friend's name. Acquaintances from a long gone era, you see. He had had way too much to drink and demonstrated this by practically concussing himself on the broken ticket machine and dropping all his belongings. So, we literally ran round the corner to Prestwich Cars to order a cab. To get out of there. It was only around £8 anyway so if my friend hadn't bought her tram ticket first it would have been much more cost efficient. Plus the driver turned a blind eye as we drank our 'blackcurrant' from an Evian bottle.

This taxi company based in Shaw is all you could really ask for…read more I have lived in Shaw most of my life and have always used this company. They are reliable and trustworthy and their prices are very competitive. Cost me 35 quid each way to Blackpool!!! Not bad at all. They also have some fantastic characters working for them, none more so than a guy known as Shaft, he is a top man and he epitomises everything that is good about Motown. They have polite and knowledgeable receptionists and i wouldn't use anyone else.

So I've ventured onto new taxi horizons and first impressions are mixed. When I rang for the taxi…read moreto take us out into the heart of Manc town they were spot on. They knew where we were, the often over-quizzed location, (there is no "flat name") was noted down with no problem, five minutes. Great one. However his route of choice was questionable. Is a shortcut a longer route around because of an inability to stop in traffic lights? It's not a shortcut, it's impatience. Traffic and traffic lights go hand in hand with town. Don't hit the empty back streets and open ring roads and give the impression that it's a shortcut. hmm. Forgiven for now. What I don't understand about many of Manchester's taxis is that they don't know where a lot of my destinations are. When I'm a little sketchy I expect the taxi driver, the authority behind the wheel to fill in the gaps. Often it's a case of guessing games, more so this time than ever. I don't know, is it to too much to expect? We paid £9 driving around Manchester city centre which was a usual £5 fare. And we never made it to the Star and Garter. Was it that difficult? So change of night and venue due to this taxi driver, hardly impressive. Northern Quarter again we find ourselves, not really questioning the failure of the taxi driver or the fare. On the way back there was less hassle thank god. Considering other reviewers have given a five star service, Manchester Cars remains in the phone device for now..

Our driver gave a fairly smooth ride, impressive given the traffic, and talked rapidly but personably. Phone dispatch went pretty smoothly and the rates were reasonable; overall, a pretty good experience.
