AI Review Summary Based on 83 reviews

Overall customer experience with Greenmetrocars is sharply divided, with many praising the service while others report severe issues. The majority of positive reviews highlight exceptional reliability, especially for airport transfers, with drivers consistently arriving on time and even tracking flight arrivals. Customers frequently commend the drivers for being polite, friendly, and helpful, particularly with luggage and special needs like wheelchairs. The service is widely regarded as offering very competitive and fair prices, often being cheaper than alternatives. Many reviewers describe the cars as clean and comfortable, and the booking process via phone or app is noted as efficient. However, a significant number of negative reviews report severe unreliability, with drivers arriving late or not at all, causing missed events. Complaints about dishonesty are prevalent, including last-minute price increases, bait-and-switch pricing, and refusal to honour quoted fares. Customer service is criticised as rude and unprofessional, with reports of staff laughing at customers or hanging up on them. Drivers are sometimes described as rude, disrespectful, and engaging in unsafe or poor driving practices. Technical issues with the booking app and payment systems, such as broken card readers, also cause frustration. Despite the high volume of 5-star reviews praising core service attributes, the negative experiences are severe enough to significantly impact overall trust and satisfaction for a portion of customers.

What a disappointment

What a disappointment The drive to the wine estate was fine but on the way back we were quoted a significantly higher price than what was originally agreed upon After complaining on the phone the company changed their price multiple times getting caught in their own lies as the price fluctuated After a lot of arguing we finally received the original agreed-upon price I feel sorry for the driver as they were just following orders from head office and this incident cost them a tip It seems they may have thought they could get away with quoting a different price assuming the customer would be intoxicated Unfortunately for them I refuse to be taken advantage of I would strongly reconsider using this company and suggest finding an alternative For drivers I hope the wages and compensation are fair as experiences like this drive customers away This is why companies like Uber are putting such businesses out of the market and then they wonder why I would not recommend this service If you experience a similar issue complain or use another provider

Quoted one price then it was more when they turned up

Have had at-odds experiences with this taxi firm We took one of their taxis to the venue which was as expected and the driver was lovely but for the return journey were quoted 1 more Accepted it as it was rush hour but when the driver turned up the fair increased by another 3 making it 4 more than the outward journey and not the price quoted The driver was nice enough he said to call the office as they set the price and he would be out of pocket The person on the phone insisted they quoted the more expensive fare and only after insisting several times that I repeated the lower fare to them did they lower it to 2 more than agreed Disappointing and feeling taken advantage of Won t be using again I know it s a small amount but it all adds up if they do this to a lot of people

Absolute shambles of a taxi company

Absolute shambles of a taxi company no professionalism very rude to customers each other premium price I booked a taxi to take a wheelchair passenger and myself home from hospital not only did they arrive to the wrong place he expected me to then walk to him to which I said no because I got a wheelchair was very rude I know you have Trying to get the wheelchair into the car was too much effort for the driver and he did the bare minimum saying it won t fit before even making an attempt I tried to help him as he was struggling then he shouted at me and said I shouldn t of done that because it s now stuck When I went to get into the car I had to move McDonald s rubbish out the way and the seatbelt which I had already applied was sticky The driver wasn t the most helpful and was very rude when I called the from to explain why I wouldn t pay the full price for the service I received he proceeded to tell me that wasn t fair what wasn t fair is making my elderly grandmother feel more of a burden than she already feels by moaning about pushing her into the car I can deal with a bit of rubbish but your attitude towards her and myself was unprofessional and I refuse to pay more than my usually company for the bare minimum My usual company are cheaper and go above and beyond - I m glad I m band from using your company now I m more than happy to wait longer for yellow cars than get home quicker using this company Disgrace
