City Cabs (Edinburgh) Ltd, Edinburgh

Take ages to answer the phone and when they do, the staff are always really short. I’d only really use them as a last resort if I couldn’t get another company and I was stranded late at night…

This is a taxi firm that I always use!

Their number is easy to remember and the service is speedy.

On the first time of phoning from a landline, you have to speak to an operator but anytime you phone from that same landline it comes to an automated menu that remembers what your address is and what your name is. You have the option there to request a taxi for straight away or to speak to an operator.

When phoning from a mobile you will always speak to an operator but after the second time, your name will be on the system.

The comapny are super efficient. If you request a taxi for straight away then you can gaurantee that there will be one at your door within 5 minutes. They always ring on approach as well giving you time to get out the door. Their prices are standard. Not too cheap but not expensive either.

Theonly downfall for this company is that they are not very patient. When you book a taxi, they will only wait outside for you for a couple of minutes and then they will leave.
