Tameside Taxis - Ashton-under-Lyne

Worst company ever. System in car accepts the job and driver are sat at home. 14 min wait for a car that's apparently 3 mins away. Cancelled and went with uber and was still charged. Nobody to speak to at the office as its all automated now. Shit to say the least

The drivers should not be picking and choosing the jobs. When a job comes through leaving people waiting because they don’t want that job. I would love to pick and choose what I can do in my job. Tameside taxi was brilliant but over time they have got bad.

Stood waiting for a 5 seater for over 2 hrs. And all you get from the staff at the office is "I don't know, I don't know. Right Luv let's start what do you you know.....silence absolute Muppets. Waste of my time. I've downloaded Uber now so Ta Ra.

Would score a 0 if I could, have started charging people £3 if you need to cancel your cab, girls in the office don’t give a shit and trying to talk to a manager is a laugh… most of the drivers do not speak proper English so don’t understand anything, drivers also cancel jobs last minute if they get a better job that pays more, I will never use these shysters ever again!

Edited to say: Use Call a Car instead! 20p more expensive but definitely more reliable, the drivers speak good English and the people on the phones when you order are really nice… Tameside Taxi’s need investigating as they take your money when you haven’t even got into a car that THEY CANCELLED…
Honestly take my word DO NOT USE TAMESIDE TAXIS

The company went through a significant improvement compared to a few years ago when ordering the taxi from them was quite a gamble.
Being back to using them for the past year or so and majority of the times they are time efficient and the current operators are reasonably knowledgeable on the areas they do cover.
There is a room for improvement but didn’t have a significantly unpleasant experience with them for a while now. Sometimes they do cancel a taxi, but they do resolve it rapidly. If you are running late when this happens, that can be a problem.

Their taxis are in a good shape and clean and drivers are polite and always asked you about your preferred route.

There is a possibility that other people may going to have a different experience. I’m talking from the position of a long term customer and my current address is registered in their system.

Their office is not far from the Ashton market, just a minute walk. You can order a taxi straight from there and pay a fixed price upfront if you choose to do so.

They currently do not accept cards, so have a cash ready if you can to save you the trouble of stopping at the cash point.

Overall, a decent taxi service. Would say it’s the best in comparison to others in Ashton under Lyne area.

Booked for a disabled car so my wife in a wheelchair could get home. Booked 45mins in advance on the app. Called them at 5 mins after booked time and told would be another 45 mins. They expected my disabled wife to wait in the cold for 45 mins. At no point was a text sent to us to say about the delay. Really poor service

Booked taxi days in advance and paid in advance to to 2 pick ups to a function at 5:30pm. Bang on 5:30pm to say the minibus other job was delayed due to that fair going further away and would be 20 mins late. Sorry but not good enough and not a good enough excuse.

How can you get it so wrong? Order a taxi for 7.45 still waiting 8.30, spoke to an operator several times after getting a message to say the taxi is on its way,from where I would hate to guess. So by this time I'd missed my connection so rang them only to be told they had cancelled my taxi for what reason they could not tell me. No explanation no customer service what a shambles. Glad I'm just visiting family will not be using again or recommending either. Needless to say I'm still waiting for someone to get back to me.
