Clapham Minicabs - bad experience today!


i*Rate

Recommended Posts

Yesterday, my son booked Clapham Minicabs, online, to get him and his wife and young son to Gatwick Airport for a flight back to Taiwan today. He paid ?50+ for them to collect from us in ED at 7.30 this morning but after waiting until 7.40 he called to see where they were. He couldn't get through to their number as there seemed to be something wrong with it so we all got pretty anxious. However he did get through around 8.00 and was told that they couldn't contact the cab driver and couldn't say where he was.

By then we had had enough and told them so and my son booked Uber. After 25 minutes (and being able to track their cab all the way) Uber had arrived and taken them off for a comfortable, swift journey to the airport and what a great relief it was to us all!

So, we now hope our son does get a refund, but that company's incompetence certainly gave us a very stressful time

today!


Thank you for sharing and don't forget CLAPHAM MINICABS1!

    • I would check that you have in fact been switched over to paying on usage rather than the old fixed rate system with an annual increase. We had a meter installed 18 months ago but had to request paying on metered consumption. 
    • Does anyone know if the above is taking place this year. Can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere?   Simon
    • Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk               
    • I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt.
