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.

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

I ve used green metro for a number of years and as I run a business I work late at night and I ve put a lot of customer there way unfortunately that won t be happening anymore and I ve changed company s The person on the switch in the office in the evening is rude and unprofessional and the driver I had last time couldn t wait a couple of minutes for me to make my way out to the car and instead drove off and was rude when I phoned him to ask where he was The new company I m using are professional and much better and wait a couple of minutes if I ask them too

DO NOT USE THEM

DO NOT USE THEM We booked a mini bus it turned up at the wrong location despite the company being the ones to secure the location The driver was unfriendly and impolite The company had somehow managed to forget that the driver would need a 30 min break during the journey and did not factor that in when giving us a leaving time The driver then took 45 mins break instead of 30 and would not leave an earlier This made the team 45 minutes late for an important event

I have only used it 3 times but
