DONT use Manchester Taxi Service

This company confirmed my order for a specific taxi at a specific time, sent me a text after the time had passed to say a smaller taxi would be sent but still charged me the full fare when I cancelled within 1 minute of their text. They were slow to engage in a refund request asking for information that they had at hand and then refused to give a refund saying my prompting after 5 days had passed was threatening. Don’t use this company. Uber provide a much better and cheaper service.

DO NOT USE MTS

DO NOT USE MTS - Manchester Taxi Service.

BEWARE, your pre-booked service means nothing to this shameful company.

I booked 2 drop off and returns for the 11th and 12th of September on the 4th of July.

I had to call as 20 mins late straight to voicemail 5 times, Sent messages on website and WhatsApp, they finally arrived at 10:35.

I then asked them to ensure a better service for the return on the 11th and both journeys on the 12th, only to receive emails advising cancellation for the 11th.

After 3 further attempts to contact them, they also advised my 2 months old booking for the 12th was cancelled.

They could not have let down a customer any more.

Dreadful, shameful service.

DO NOT USE.

MTS cancelled less than 15 minutes before collection.

Booked a taxi via the app with over a weeks notice. MTS then cancelled the booking with less than 15 minutes before the taxi was due to arrive on a Friday night and had to resort to Uber, who were far more reliable. They refunded my card quickly but overall had a very bad experience with MTS.

Thank you so much for the service. I’m not from Manchester so this service was awesome. The taxi driver knew a lot about the City which I found super helpful. I would definitely recommend this service if you’re not from Manchester and you’re staying for the weekend!
