Used Happicabs for the first time in a couple of years last night (22 Dec). Phoned and booked whilst on the train from London. Was informed shortly after of my booking via text with details of the car. Was then informed when the car had arrived at BP. All very punctual. Great communication. The driver who picked me up was very pleasant too. One Happy customer.

Kept being sent messages saying they'll let us know when it's on its way but it never came.
Called them and they admitted it wouldn't be there for more than 30mins, well after our restaurant booking so we had to cancel. It was a special event

Glen was on time, friendly, professional and got me to my destination in good time.

On Tuesday I booked a cab leaving 50 minutes for a 25 minute journey. Half hour after the pick up time, the cab hadn't arrived, and was still "5 to 10 minutes away". At that point it was impossible to make it in time and so I cancelled.
Happicabs charged me anyway. I contacted them online, to which they said they would respond in 24 hours. Nothing. After 48 I contacted them again. They said that they'd refer the case to their Finance department and once again nothing. No contact. No refund.
Posting this online in the hope that someone will see this and actually do something.

Collected from London by the party bus with the fantastic Brian! Highly recommend this company

Arrived on time but taxi was incredibly dirty inside, like what should be black was caked in brown dirt and dust, had an odour that led me to spend 15 minutes feeling sick in the toilet when arriving at my destination and driver was texting whilst driving throughout ride. Only reason it’s not 1 star is the punctuality and friendliness of the driver, but the standards really need to be improved.

The taxi was pre-booked several days in advance, but arrived nearly 40minutes late.
Due to the time of night, the venue closed and so we had to wait outside in the rain.
Whenever I phoned the office I was told it would be 5minutes, yet it never was.
The only reason given by office staff and the driver for the lateness, was that it was a “busy night”. I don’t understand why bookings are accepted if they cannot be fulfilled. Do not accept bookings if you know you do not have enough drivers.
