Absolute joke. My wife pre booked and pre paid for a taxi. Dragon cancelled it last minute leaving my wife and 8 year old daughter stranded. If you can't fulfil a booking, don't take the booking. They... See more

I am horrified at the reviews I have just read! A taxi was booked for us by a breakdown company because our car had just been towed into their yard and we were car-less. The taxi driver arrived... See more

Incompetent and rude call centre.

Would be zero stars if possible. Rude, aggressive, unhelpful customer service. I book a taxi for the next day with a return later same day. They sent completely wrong confirmation details. Phoned to change it, they said they would rebook. Still no amended booking details and still wrong payment bill . Asked them to change the booking confirmation and bill to make sure they were paid correct money and to ensure driver would be told the correct amended time. Man on phone started shouting at me and cut me off. It was their mistake though!! Cancelled the booking and will never try to use them again. Just glad I hadn't paid yet.

Do not use this firm

Do not use this firm. Booked a taxi well in-advance. It was 35 minutes late and then sent me a text cancelling. When I called them they claimed they had called me a number of times. This was a lie. I was left stranded at 23:45 in a countryside hotel after a wedding with no way of getting home.
The attitude was appalling, couldn’t have been less interested and refused to send a car. Fortunately another firm - Jackson cabs was more helpful and arrived within minutes.

Dragon is unreliable and unhelpful.

Taxi didn’t turn up and no Comms from dragon

Wanted to score them zero but you can’t . Booked a taxi to train station which is a ten minute journey but allowed thirty minutes to get a train to London hoping this time they would turn up . I cancelled the taxi after an hour after missing my train . I was told on the phone a taxi was next out for me after half hour nothing ! No text no communication from them to tell me this . Never again so not trust them if you need to get a train

Failed to arrive, for an extremely important appt!

I had an appointment 9/11/23 for 9am this morning, I booked my taxi via the app yesterday for 8.30am 8/11/23.
8 rang the office at 8.30 to see where my taxi was, to be told it would arrive shortly. However I had a phone call at 8.50am to say did I book a taxi and it's on the way. I contacted the health center where my appointment was for the DVLA, unfortunately they cancelled the appt. Now I have to wait and see if I can get another appt!
I've always used dragon who were always reliable and trustworthy, but unfortunately this experience has left me wondering if I do have another appointment would they turn up, so I'm thinking seriously about using dragon ever again! Unprofessional is an understatement 😪

Absolute shocking I order a taxi to…

Absolute shocking I order a taxi to work and home from 12 hour shift and the prices keep going up each time I order last night it it was 10.70 then on air drop was 10.20 the driver asked me to get cash out and just pay the 10.70 then another time on way to work I picked up someone who was on the way they charged me 13.40 phones dragon and all they said was it should be the same price each time and to just leave a review if I don’t get someone who is management to contact me I’ll take this higher it’s absolutely disgusting the prices

Terrible company. Booked a taxi for a train from Coity to Bridgend and gave 2 hours notice, and a no show. Do not use this company

Wouldn’t give it 1 star but had no option
What a awful taxi company some drivers are lovely but the people that answer the phones are beyond rude and will hang up on you the taxis are never on time and on many occasions I’ve been left waiting hours
I booked a taxi at 10:30 pm
They said it would be 20 mins
Rang back at 11:30 pm
And told it would be another 20 mins
Had to walk home in the rain for them to ring me at 1:10 am to say the taxi is on their way
What a joke of a company and this will be my absolute last time using them
Had nothing but bad experiences
But it’s sad that public transport is so unreliable where I live

Dragon taxi is the WORST. And here’s why
So when I was going to Pakistan, I was

If I could give them zero I would

If I could give them zero I would. Never turn up on time even when pre-booked hours before. The drivers seem to decide where they want to pick up from and as we live outside town we are continuously bounced to the bottom of the queue. I used to be a regular taxi user - particularly to the train station, but as I have been let down so many times by them I now tend to drive my car there - and have found it is actually cheaper to park there! Useless, unreliable company.

The Worst Taxi Company

Taxi booked and confirmed 4 days before the travel. Taxi turned up 35 mins late.
I had to call the office to make the payment, then they overcharged me for the travel, but the phone operator was unhelpful, told me to fill out form online.

Appalling service

I wish to make a complaint. I had a taxi booked in order to catch a train this morning which didn’t turn up on time when I rang the operator I was told that there were no drivers available even though I had booked days before. I had to arrange alternative transport and ended up missing my train and incurring extra costs - clearly unacceptable - no apology

Awful service

Awful service, kept my waiting nearly 2 hours for a taxi on a 'normal' day, there wasn't any traffic incident/event etc making traffic heavy. I would definitely not recommend them and I certainly won't be using them again.

Over priced journey!!

The journey we took last Friday, travelodge Whitchurch was quoted on app as between £9 to £11. Was not happy when we arrived at wedding venue and was told cody was almost £16. Driver drove very slow on main road and certainly took a longer route than the 4,8 miles the map said it was. Not happy and thankfully will not have to use them again. Rip off!
