London taxi account recommendations

[thunderlizard]

We're currently using Addison Lee. But lately it's been around a 45 minute wait for a car: and their prices have always been high (e.g. £45 for Clerkenwell to Wandsworth - I reckon a black cab would be cheaper).

So, any alternatives? "Green Tomato" look interesting...


(PS yes, for pedants and black-cabbies with a grudge, I do strictly mean "private hire vehicles" not "taxis"!).

Your business should invest in a moped

& yours should invest in the remaining lessons of your hilarious comedy course, matey.

£45 to go from Clerkenwell to Wandsworth

In the absence of any other suggestions, I would start using black cabs instead.

Airport Transfers used to charge me £45 to go from Canary Wharf to Heathrow, which is about £10 cheaper than a black cab. I haven't asked them, but their business name suggests to me a certain specialism that might not be what you are after.

I'm sure you can find benched contractor who would do it cheaper.

£45 for 7.5 miles, I'm in the wrong business, mind you 'we' implies he is sharing the cab

I thought about using a business account with my local taxi firm (not london sorry) but changed my mind when they wanted 25% more than the cash price.
