Utter failure of service

Service and communication from home to Luton, exemplary. Upon landing, no text informing me of Driver or reg plate or meeting point. No driver was there despite my confirmation the day before including the flight number and despite my having informed them of slight flight delay and receiving a reply reassuring me that they were tracking the flight. They weren’t. I was told driver would arrive in 20 minutes and would phone to meet me at the mid term car park. Why wasn’t the car there before my flight landed? The mid term car park is a half mile from the terminal and why should I be made to walk it at that time of a cold night. It would have cost the driver an extra £5 to collect me from the Express Drop Off point that is right outside the terminal and I would have gladly paid it. The worst taxi transfer service. Call handler was not apologetic and patronisingly instructed me to return to terminal, get a coffee (at 00:30!) and wait for the driver. That’s not the service I paid for.

Dear Bearman,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience, frustration, and disappointment caused during your recent experience with us.

While we are pleased to hear that your initial journey to the airport was handled to your satisfaction, we are extremely sorry that your return experience fell far short of the standards we are committed to providing. We fully acknowledge that you should have received timely communication regarding your driver’s details and clear instructions for your pick-up. Furthermore, we recognise that being made to walk a considerable distance late at night, after a delayed flight, is entirely unacceptable, particularly when you had provided us with your flight details and had been reassured that the service was being monitored.

It is clear that our procedures were not followed appropriately in this instance, and we deeply regret the impact this had on your experience. Additionally, we are very concerned about the manner in which your call was handled and will be conducting a full internal review to address both the operational failures and the standard of customer care you received.

Please be assured that we are taking this matter extremely seriously and will be reinforcing our service protocols to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we are grateful that you have brought these issues to our attention.

We sincerely apologise once again for the poor experience and the inconvenience caused.

Yours sincerely,
Customer Relations Team

Exceptional service

1st Airport Taxis have been exceptional. Called the day before for both our outward and return journeys to Luton Airport. Picked up from Essex. Both journeys were on time, and both drivers professional, polite, and courteous. Our return driver Malik who picked us up from the airport was particularly exceptional, friendly and it was lovely to have a journey with him as our driver. I’m sure our outward driver was too, but it was 02:00 and my husband and I were half asleep and likely not much company. It was nice not to have to try and make conversation so early and I think our outward driver respected that. Our pick up time was perfect for our departure, and the return driver monitored our flight so he knew of any delays. Having found out that this company pick up for all airports, we will definitely be repeat customers. Cars are clean and well maintained, which shows the pride the drivers take with their service. Thank you again, L Greenaway.

Dear Ms. Greenaway,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your recent journeys with 1ST Airport Taxis.

Beware! This company does not accept responsibility for booking errors it acknowledged and had I not been able to find an alternative would have fleeced me for an additional £100.

I just got a demand for an extra £100 the day before we were due to travel. I had booked online several weeks ago for a return trip to Terminal 3 having checked out Trustpilot and seen the positive reviews. The company confirmed the booking by text at the time. I then paid in full earlier this week after receiving a request for the same, although the original booking had offered cash payments as an option. This morning I received a text message saying the system had erred and undercharged me by £100 more than I had already paid! They refused to honour their commitment even though they accepted that the error was theirs. They did agree to refund me. Fortunately I was able to arrange transport with another firm for £60 less than 1st Airport taxis inflated price. I feel like I have been the victim of an attempted scam.

Dear Ruegger,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are deeply sorry to hear about your recent experience and the understandable frustration it caused.

We fully acknowledge that a pricing error occurred during the booking process and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience, distress, and disruption this caused, particularly so close to your travel date. Regardless of the circumstances, this situation does not reflect the high standards of service and integrity we are committed to maintaining.

While we are pleased that a full refund was promptly arranged, we fully recognise that this does not compensate for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced. Please be assured that we are thoroughly reviewing our systems and internal processes to ensure that such errors are avoided in future, and to reinforce our commitment to clear, transparent, and fair customer service.

We deeply regret the negative impression this situation has left and genuinely appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve.

Please accept our sincere apologies once again.

Yours faithfully,

Always consistent, clean, professional, best taxi firm I've used.

I have used this company for airport drop off and pick ups for around 7 or 8 years now. They are always on time, their communication is excellent, their cars are always clean and good quality and their drivers are always professional. Tonight driver 320 (sorry I didn't get his name) waited outside to walk me to the car in the drop off area at Luton which was a nice touch.

With all this you would expect big prices, but they always seem competitive, which keeps us booking with them and keeps it cheaper than airport car parks.

I have recommended this company to many others and will continue to do so and to use them regularly.

Very good service. Easily booked on line. Kept me up to date with what to do and where to meet. My driver picked me up early as flight was early. He parked as close as possible to meet me and rang to say where to meet. Would definitely use this company again.

Friendly Driver

My driver, ID313, was very friendly and arrived early so we could miss some of the traffic which suited me perfectly. Comfortable car as well so the journey went without a hitch. Will definitely use this service again.
