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

They have always given me good service over the years, and as such, their number is the first number to pop into my head if you asked me for a taxi number. I find the desk staff and drivers at Mahood's to be extremely pleasant and chatty, they always give me an accurate idea of when my taxi will be with me, and none of this "it's on its way love" garbage, when they know that it's not going to turn up for another half an hour, they are honest about how long the taxi will take, which is a good thing, as all of us who have been standing freezing outside the pub in the cold/rain at 1am will confirm!

I do, however, use them from time to time, when I can't get a taxi elsewhere and I'm really stuck for a lift. I find the drivers friendly, and they compare competitively price wise with other companies, but my main problem is with the desk staff. I have personally found them to be quite rude and say your taxi is on its way when it isn't. If a taxi is going to take 20 minutes then that's fine, but I would rather know that than being told it's on its way. One night when I was waiting for a taxi with them, I questioned them on this, only to be told by the delightful lady on the phone that if I had a problem I could go elsewhere, so I took her advice, and that's what I did!
