Carlisle 247365 Taxis Ltd

Amazing service found a woman very upset and Leslie organised a taxi within 2 minutes when all other firms were not interested

Booked for 9:15a pick up to take 3 people to Bowness on Solway to begin our walk of Hadrians Wall. The driver was positioned outside by 9:05. Eddie was friendly and on time! Thank you.

We were in the Carlisle area for a wedding, and needed taxis from our accommodation to the reception and back. The day before the wedding I spoke to Lesley at 247365 and although she couldn't commit, she said she'd inform her colleague if I called back in the morning (the booking delay was caused by other wedding demands, etc, (no other firms could help) and the fact that we were some distance from Carlisle). I called in the morning, and spoke to Sue T, who was then able to confirm availability for the journeys (5.30 pm and midnight) and as they were out of area they would cost ... [a quoted and agreed price]. Nearer the time I spoke to Lesley again, confirmed everything and received updates regarding the arrival of our driver (Seb) who would undertake both trips. The staff I spoke to were courteous and true to their word, and Seb was punctual, polite, and a safe driver (in appalling conditions). I cannot fault the service provided and have no hesitation in recommending Carlisle 247365 Taxis. No pun, but we felt they went the extra mile for us.

Big thank you to driver Andy who kindly took us all the way back to Glasgow safely tonight after the trains yet again failed to keep their passengers safe. Absolute gem of a man. Absolute legend.

Hopeless! I needed to get to Cumberland Infirmary A&E as quickly as possible for a medical emergency but the soonest available ambulance was in 6 hours. So I rang several Carlisle taxi firms to ask how soon they could get here. Time was of the essence. Was told by the friendly operator of this firm “15 minutes, I’m dispatching it now”. The driver arrived 40 minutes later, saying her Sat Nav "wasn't working properly" and hadn’t recognised my street name and had taken her to a completely different village. Surely she should have had enough local knowledge (after her self-professed boast of having been driving taxis for 20 years) to know which village she was in! If the operator had taken my Post Code that would have narrowed it down to just one street of 6 houses. Totally inept firm, will never use again.
