Disabled passenge4

Cab ordered.
Waited 30 mins until i had to start limping home.
3 x 13cabs passed myself with zero care to stop.
Personally a disgusting service looking for the long $$$ fare not for the safe passage.
Utterly disgusted, from the disabled comm.

AN EXCELLENT PROFESSIONAL DRIVER- THANK YOU JAY FOR YOUR SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR MYSELF AND MY FATHER.

Jay was professional, on time, most accommodating and an excellent driver.
He was able to fit 6 different trips in a day to accommodate my business and family travels within Newcastle and to the airport.
I can highly recommend his services and will ensure I call his cab every time I am in Newcastle and surrounding areas.

His flexibility and outstanding client service made my trip stress free with a wonderful afternoon spent with my dear elderly Dad… that I otherwise would not have been able to have .
Sincere thanks
Caddie

13cabs drivers have worked out a scam

I have now had enough. 3 times in the last few months I have booked 13cabs to go to Sydney City and the airport using the "price guarantee". While the service is ok as they do turn up on time....all 3 drivers have worked out the scam. When you arrive at the destination they make some sort of fuss about the app not calculating tolls properly, and cancel the trip. (Even though it's already been paid for) They then get you to pay again, and you get a full refund for the original trip. I'm not comfortable with this and will not use 13cabs again

Unreliable booking service, a dont care attitude

We had a flight to catch, I booked a cab for a 6.30am 24hrs prior, the taxi was 25mins late!! When I called yo find out where our cab was, the lady said the type of vehicle we needed (station wagon due to luggage) wasnt available, if its not available let your booked customers know so we can make other arrangements..simple!!....I queried the lady who couldnt give a crap on the other end of the phone and she said, "they couldnt possibly notify all their customers when these things happen"! Well i couldnt possibly book with 13cabs again when we need a reliable service, and who the hell hires these clueless people with no customer service skills whatsoever!!

Rude employees at Sale

We called a cab and women answered the call, said it would take time and after waiting for awhile we called the 13 cabs to ask the status but they didn't even let me finish the question and they rudely talked to me to stop calling them. One of the worst of the worst taxi service as this was hiw they responded last day too. My advise, don't reach out here for a cab

Terrible service and experience. Total rip-off

I specifically booked a maxi taxi going to the airport on 18 September 2023 at 6:30pm. The taxi arrived late (6:45pm) and the taxi that arrived is not a maxi taxi but just an SUV. Our luggages struggled to fit (4 large and 4 small luggages) with 4 passengers. I have to cancel the trip (within 2min after the taxi left the house) as the ride was very uncomfortable and have to return back home. I raised a feedback via customer care on 18 September at 7:07pm and never received a response since then. I will never avail this service again.

Worst service

I called them to booked cab through number with time. There was no call from drivers as communicated. After waiting for long time when i called them, these people said there is no booking with your number and then demanded triple charged amount to book service.

Fare is not fixed it can be any amount as per their wish and then they do bargain with you.

Pathetic unprofessional service. I will not refer them to anyone.

No service, useless

If I could give zero stars I would. Don't take a booking from Mohammed in Dixon's Creek, he accepted our booking at 9.00am and cancelled 5 minutes before 7.15pm pickup. We will miss our dinner appointment thanks to him.

Elderly lady left in streets waiting

My mum had a wheelchair Booked after her grandson’s year 12 graduation for 815 to return her to her age care. We were out the front 10 minutes prior.. after countless telephone calls between the age, care and nobody responding. The aged care said they are very busy. Mum sitting in wheel chair for hours. In the end had to call friends to come and pick her up and took a few people to help in the car. Finally the cab turned up and said only one wheelchair cab available and not able to make the 815 appointment. Got home 11pm

The is appalling. Is this how we treat our elderly.

What do we do come Xmas day!!!!

Unreliable and hard to contact

We weren't able to book an uber while in Toowoomba but surprisingly we were able to prebook a 13 cab to get us to the train in time. We're able to prepay as well. All on the App. We set our alarm and was on the street at 5:50 am for the scheduled arrival at 6 am. We started getting worried at 6:10 then 6:20. Never was able to speak to a real person and the animated Ai answering machine never understood what We needed. A security guard named Al bailed us out and got to the train station 15 minutes before it departed.

Complaining drivers

All Adelaide Independent taxi drivers can do complain about a taxi fare from Adelaide Railway Station to Kenttown SA, so after my business appointment I didn't bother ringing Adelaide independent taxi again, I went with a totally different taxi company to take me home to Daw Park SA 5041 I would never recommend that company again

Didn’t turn up

Made online booking a week prior as booking a maxi taxi for international airport leaving at 11.30pm. At time of booking the app still stated it was searching for my ride. No phone number to talk to anyone, only to make a new booking. Got a phone call at the time we were due to be picked up stating they didn’t have a maxi taxi in my area and would be another 25 mins. Couldn’t wait as didn’t want to be late for my flight. Ended up driving and parking at airport for 2 weeks, not a cheap alternative. Will never use again. What’s the point in booking in advance if they don’t organise a vehicle for you.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Horrible service. Booked a cab to arrive at my elderly mums house to take her to a specialist appointment that was booked months ago and these clowns refused to turn up. Three times I booked with them. No one arrived. Disgusting. Made her miss the appointment.

Useless

Booked an 11 seater, online and phoned to confirm. Going to a wedding, specified we could not be late, cab not here 15 mins late already, phoned cab co, they don't even have an 11 seater on the road, so we are all in our cars now going to the venue, hopefully get there in time. Really very annoyed, totally useless.

Horrible

Drivers will call and say I'm just a few minutes away when the GPS clearly shows they are headed to another job. Last time I used this mob I waited 45 mins. This time I cancelled after 15 mins and took an uber. Do yourself a favour and take an uber or look for another taxi company - although unsure if they've all gone this way.

Booked cab, driver went to incorrect address, just assumed it was a hotel then had the hide to blame us. I got into the cab and the driver started to drive off before my husband was in the cab. Went to put my seatbelt on only to discover it was broken. Cab was at least clean.

Don’t book online - they won’t show up

Pre-booked a cab online. Received email confirmation of the booking. The cab didn’t arrive and after waiting for 20 mins I drove myself to hospital for my operation. Don’t use this company, unreliable and untrustworthy.

Disappointing

Booked a wheelchair taxi a day in advance for elderly mother-in-law. Waited 15 minutes kept informing me nothing available. Rebooked and still nothing. Had to cancel both bookings and was hour late. Don’t take bookings you cannot fulfil

Filthy interior

The service was prompt and friendly. The experience was let down by an interior that needed a good clean. The seat I sat in was soiled and the dashboard looked like softdrink had been sprayed on it and not being cleaned. I was glad that I wasn't wearing my best clothes when I seated myself on the soiled seat. The exterior looked like it hadn't been washed in a while and really let down the 13 Cabs brand.

Why are they still in business

No wonder Uber is taking over, these people are a disgrace. Booked a cab, got a text to say it was on the way with driver name and taxi number, even though the app said they were still trying to find a cab. Waited outside for 20 minutes then the entire record of the booking disappeared. Found a phone number to call but you get 2 options - to book a cab now or book one later. You can’t speak to a person to ask whether a cab is even coming. I will NEVER use this excuse for a business again. Zero stars.

Bad service

Pre booked Cabot be sure I would be at my important appointment on time.
Cab was late, I phoned company to be told that they didn’t have a taxi for me and then just hung up! I missed my appointment!
Worst service ever!
Wish I had read all the bad reviews beforehand.
No wonder Uber does so well in Byron bay!

No response to email regarding costs

Was charged above what the estimate was on their site. Sent an email asking why and if they could explain why there was a big difference. No response sent a further two emails over two weeks no response. This is the end I am now going to look into using Uber. They wonder why their patronage is down.

App Overcharge 13cabs

Booked cab on 13cabs app. when cab arrived a cost of $29.08 was charged for a 1.9 kilometer trip. Complained immediately and have since been completely stonewalled and told that i was charged the correct fare. The return journey on RSL cabs was $11.00.
