Oakview / Alpha Cars

These guys seem buttoned up, responded to emails in good time, since I'm an overseas traveler. pre booked. the car arrived within the appointed time and provided good service. Not sure what the bad reviews are about. driver was courteous and helpful.

Had two cabs booked with Alpha Cars to take a group of us home after a wedding. Despite the advance booking, they were more than 45 minutes late - and only came following several phone calls made stood outside in the rain. Once we were collected, one driver was fine (thank you!) but the second attempted to charge more than the agreed fair. Simply not good enough, especially when trying to transport older/vulnerable people. Recommend you make other arrangements / have them confirm that they are actually going to turn up when they say they will.

Great experience, would/will happily book with them in the future rather than paying the frankly extortionate fees charged by the "Taxi" cabs at the station. Under £8 from Lychpit to Basingstoke station (Feb 23), bargain!! Was going to London for a work do/meetings and needed to be there early. Booked (on the app no less, very up to date) the day before for a pick up at 0645. I'll admit I was a little skeptical as everyone has an app these days and they are usually rubbish. Not so with Alpha. Got lots of texts/push notifications to update me with when the driver was on the way, what car and who the driver was. Only small gripe was the house number did not seem to carry through to the driver so he waited at the top of the road. Thanks I could see him on the app so I walked the 30 seconds to the end of the road. MUCH better experience than the "Taxi" on the way back who charged nearly double what Alpha charged. Save your money and book with Alpha.

I ordered a taxi from Basingstoke Station last Saturday night. A very nice young man took my name and put me on a waiting list. We waited about 20 mnts and then boarded a taxi. The fare was very reasonable.

Reliable and prompt taxi service from Basingstoke Station. Booked online and the car was waiting for me when I arrived. Good value for money. £22 from Basingstoke to Whitchurch.
