Driver didnt even offer to put luggage in and out of the boot. Also driver said you must indicate when booking if you are going to pay by card and going to the airport due to signal issues with setting up the card machine in the car park. Then went on to say I must pay extra if paying by card. Terrible service

  • Dan Gregory

We pre-booked our taxi with a quoted price of £22.50, the drive then told us it was £35. It was at the end of a night out and we needed to get back to the Hotel so we just paid it. We then got a receipt for in the morning for £22.50, so clearly the taxi driver pocketed the extra.

  • Toni Williams

Used to be a decent reliable firm. Not anymore. Advance booking waste of time they NEVER come on time. Female operator has no manners and lacks any form of communication skills. Drivers make the fares up as they go along and the majority of them have zero personal hygiene.

  • Craig Clow

Missus used them all the time but when I used them to go shop the driver turned the meter off and tried changing £4 there and £4 back (£8 altogether) so after a few words with the driver they blacklisted me. Be aware of these scammers better taxi services around

  • Sally MacDonald

Have been using Kingsway at least once a week for 4 years now. They are NEVER late! I can't think of any other firm of any kind that provides such a reliable service. Drivers are friendly and know their way around Manchester. Cannot recommend them enough.

  • Solomen Ahmed

I didn't use that taxi service even though I am qualified taxi private hire since 2016, but I'll never work that company kingsway. The reason I've heard the service reviews are terrible. My friends have used this service and told me they're

  • Matayah Dixon-Dawodu

Disgusting service, taxi driver told me to get out at 3am because i didn’t have cash, baring in mind i already paid on the app via card, showed him the proof of the money leaving my account & still didn’t care and started to get aggressive.

  • lee murphy

Absolutely disgusting customer service - driver moaned from start to finish, was rude and impatient. We asked to stop at a shop before our final destination. He complained and then began to speed when my partner returned from the shop . He

  • Donna Garner

I've used this taxi company on many occasions recently. They were always on time and the drivers are pleasant. If I pre-booked, they would always arrive at least five minutes early. If I phoned for a taxi as soon as possible, it never took

Weve been regular users of this taxi firm for over 30 years and always found them to be just ok however after having the rudest driver ever last week to today and having the trouble ive had with them this afternoon, i will 100% be finding

  • Northern Monkey

Not impressed. Cab tried to charge me £23 for Heaton Moor to woodford. Should have been 15 but had no change so he got 20. He did not have the meter on. Not impressed so will be calling kingsway to complain. Make sure the meter is running.

Normally use this company all the time as it’s my local, never have a problem with them until tonight when they said no taxis are available and then hung up on me, really rude telephone operator… also ordered a taxi earlier in the evening

  • Ms Ammaarah

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! Ordered a taxi for 6 of us- man on the phone was RUDE! nd said 20 minutes. Called back 30 minutes later and was told the driver was in traffic- give him 5-10 minutes. Waited another 20 minutes for the driver to arrive

  • Eric Hall

Top class service. My daughter needed to move her belongings from one student accommodation to another and I was unable to help, being 200 miles away in London. I called Kingsway who were friendly and helpful. I booked a large vehicle and

  • Has San

I broke down in Manchester after leaving my car lights on in a car park. When I returned it would not start, I called AA and they said it will take upto 3-4 hours before we can get to you. So I started calling taxi firms to see if anyone

  • Taylor Fisk

DODGY BUSINESS BEWARE! Ordered two taxis for our group as there was 6 of us, I called up and they said they wouldn’t do this for us as they had no one in the area. I then went on the app and booked the taxis no problem and they turned up

  • Nicholas Edmondson

Rang for a taxi to take my partner and me to the MRI. Arrived in plenty of time at the wrong entrance. In spite of protestations from both of us that this was the wrong entrance, the driver refused point blank, to listen. I thought, OK,

  • Claire

I don't use them but my partner does. They turn up quickly and text to let you know they are sat outside in the middle of the road blocking both directions even though there is ample space to pull in and wait and not blocking traffic.

  • Lynsey Oxton

Three stars only because we use this service a lot and it’s usually ok. But their app doesn’t always work meaning you have to phone up and pay in the cab. This morning I had a driver who not only moaned about me paying by card, but

  • Pauline Evans

Have used early mornings before to go to the airport and had no issues. Yesterday no show at arranged time so called the office x3 times, no answer. Then got a text saying car was outside and it wasn't. Rang the driver, no answer.

  • Jason Herman

Absolutely terrible service no matter the time of day. Can't be arsed to pick up the phone on most occasions and when they do you waiting 15-20 minutes for a car, which is usually late on top of that. Avoid at all costs

Taxi arrived on time. Text messages to notify me it was on the way and then a second one to tell me the type of vehicle parked outside. Friendly driver and price very reasonable. Happy to use this company again.

Regularly use Kingsway and never had any issues. Most recent booking their car arrived within 5-10 minutes and we couldn’t fault the driver. Nice little bonus was an Easter egg for the children.
