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.

Avoid if you want to be picked up on time

I booked a return journey to a wedding 10 days in advance and the driver was half an hour late for both journeys Each time I called to check they were on their way the phone operator told me they were 5 minutes away and by the third call he just laughed at me We were late for the wedding ceremony and then left surrounded by drunk and abusive men while we waited for the return journey The driver who was friendly enough said that he had only been given the job 15 minutes previously which was 15 minutes after the agreed pick up time When my sister called on the way home to ask for an explanation and to air our concerns over being left in a vulnerable position the operator was rude unapologetic and unconcerned Avoid avoid avoid

UNRELIABLE - AVOID AT ALL COSTS THEY ALSO LIE

Booked an airport pick up taxi nowhere to be seen Called the main office they told me that the driver was around the corner - outside the airport - waited 10 minutes for the driver to eventually call me He was rude and said he was waiting outside the airport for my phone call to let him know when I was outside - that was never made clear when I booked I didn t even have his number When I asked why it was taking so long to arrive in to the airport He told me he was on his way and that he would arrive in10 minutes - that s definitely not around the corner outside the airport The drivers as well as the office lie about the drivers whereabouts After an exasperated and frustrating wait for over 20 minutes - driver then said I had a choice - either wait for him another 10 minutes or take another taxi I was trying to find out where he was so that I could make a decision and he then proceeded to tell me take another taxi as he was not prepared to come to the airport - and then hung up Unprofessional rude and very very unreliable - they also lie which speaks volumes to the honesty and integrity of this so called business Why do they actively advertise airport pick ups when they have no intention of honouring the service or pick up time that has been confirmed Very poor customer service - Avoid

Apparently green metro cabs did not want my money

I have used this company mainly for airport pick-up drop-off and never had an issue - despite some concerning flags I have been told by them that their app does not work anymore albeit still available for download and working never receive messages confirming booking etc Today booked an airport pickup over the phone and got the same reply I have always received - i e booked Caveat driver never showed up rang the company to be told that the booking did not exist - convenient easy get away card as there is no booking confirmation text or email

Horribe experience using this taxi

Horribe experience using this taxi company The driver was not from UK he was not able to follow the road did not want to follow google maps sayin he doesn t like a particular road so he took a road which made our journey 20 mins longer We did not need that after a 12h flight Absolutely shocking how this taxi company is not out of business yet

Rude

I gave them a call today to ask for an airport transfer and they gave me a price which was 30 more than another company that I use I said I thought it was a bit too expensive and they hanged up the phone without even saying bye

I wouldn t give this company any business

Not actually used this shower but one of their drivers showed appalling driving skills before pulling into a disabled persons parking bay without indicating and parked at such an angle the vehicle also covered part of the next bay which was a with infant space Because of this inconsiderate parking we had to park two rows away however my partner is a registered blue badge holder so this caused discomfort and pain I called Green Metro Cars and tried to explain how the actions of their driver had impacted my partner but wasn t given the opportunity to do so as the guy kept interrupting me First of all he tried to tell me that the vehicle isn t one of ours love to which I responded well your company name and number is plastered all over the vehicle love His attitude was appalling and he blatantly did not give a care Consequently I would not take the risk of relying on them for an airport run or needing to be somewhere important on time
