The company is reliable and efficient and to honest the prices are not bad just one thing the drivers take only cash, which sometimes can be worrying as many people don't have cash in hand..

That’s a joke.

They don’t even deserve one. I’ve booked a taxi 3 hours in advance. Driver was assigned 25 minutes after scheduled time. Not moving for food 5 minutes. I’ve cancelled the booking. It’s just ridiculous. And they are calling themselves number one taxi company in Stoke. What a joke.

Lucky seven driver with bad customer relationships

I booked for a lucky seven taxi this morning for 6:38am,the driver came 6:34 and started disturbing me with calls to come out, and went out to tell him is not yet booked time, then l noticed, he failed to pack, staying on the road, putting on the car double pointer to divert other cars. I asked him to park well while the passenger come out, he told me to cancel the taxi at 6:36am and booked another. It was really horrible experience this morning with lucky seven driver

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. I booked a car 2 hours ahead from Stoke station. When I arrived got sent a text saying car was 2 minutes away. Used the tracker and saw the car going in the opposite direction getting further away. I called back and was put through to the driver who told me he wasn't coming for me and put the phone down on me. I then called back to the main number. They didn't apologise but told me they'd sent another car. I had to wait half an hour and when the driver arrived he was uncommunicative and unhelpful. Horrible experience, definitely would NOT recommend!

Very good service

Booked with lucky 7 back from theatre at 11 pm. Taxi was there on time and was cheaper than any other taxi company around my area. I will definitely be using lucky 7 taxi company again. No problems at all with them

Don't book this joke of a taxi firm

Don't book this joke of a taxi firm. Booking was made three days before pick up,rang to check everything was booked so waiting for taxi. With 15 minutes to go before pick up got a call saying taxi was cancelled because they had no drivers in the area. This is not acceptable and I will never use this firm again. Use at your own peril, totally useless stoke firm.

They don't even deserve 1 star.

They don't even deserve 1 star.
If you take a booking 2 days in advance that booking should be assured, if you cannot do this then do not book in advance, and certainly do not lie and repeatedly say he is on his way when you know full well he is not.

I had a very terrible experience with them.No sort of customer service etiquette whatsoever and they charge per second and the driver drives like a snail.I wasn’t aware it was no card policy and he drove me back to a far card machine after I got to my destination (all while still having his meter reading) avoid taxi driver of the car hybrid Toyota MF22 WEI
Imagine he also implied I wanted to not pay him because I’m black doesn’t mean I’m a thief.15pounds???

Received the taxi this evening from…

Received the taxi this evening from this firm and let me tell you the way that I was spoken to and made to feel like I'm not even a part of society is a understatement on answering the taxi I was told that I will have to pay money upfront never had to do this before and the confusion from my side is that I've always use lucky 7 and always paid he basically responded and said people like you and I need to get my money before I set off so let's just get to the queen I live in supported accommodation and then basically asked for an explanation why would he point someone out like myself while dressed well-mannered and polite on arrival with money in my hands bare in mind so basically by this point I've already passed the money on and I've asked this question after he's basically said do you want to go home or not or do you you want to get out of by this point I've already been bullied into my money and now I'm being bullied into how I will get home I went quiet and within myself for a few minutes and then realid the situation was no good and ask to get out of this taxi he rubs the car over the road and then says that I will be charging you from here to there so I've been spoken to poorly bullied out of money and then nearly giving whiplash the way he pulled over the road like a little boy racer the I have reported this to the police and will with a port in it to the taxi licencing firm tomorrow also I will not be penalised for my situation and my livelihood speaking like this to customers and picking up people from a college I don't see it is the job for this person thank god that they give number plates out as they were refusing also to give the licence number off that driver they were dating over the phone that they can't do this I don't know how true this is but I will find out off the taxi licencing people tomorrow peppol like you it's absolutely disgusting makes me feel like that

Booked a taxi

Booked a taxi, from my home to a friend's, obviously booked the same one back, going from my home was charged 15 pounds which is actually too much. Out of good grace I give that, coming back it was 17.50, so he rang his manger, she checked that I paid 15 earlier on in the day. So he was told to accept the 15 pounds, and that the company would make up the rest. As I refused to pay it, as soon as his boss was off the phone it was raised voices hands in my face "get out of my taxi you smackhead, crackhead!!! so I exited the car calmly and left the door open, he had the nerve to say why leave my door open, after 5mins of abuse in the car. All the drivers charge different amounts for the same journey. Shouldn't of had to pay the 15 going there, as he went well out his way, lied to me saying western coyney way to get to sandford Hill. And we ended up in forsbrook, turning right for dilhorne lanes anyway, which i said he should of done at the boundary leaving cheadle. As I said look this is normally a 13.90 fair. And he was ok with it of me giving 15, they make it up with bs and driving super slow, but coming back other driver knew friends of mine, so was kinda cool but soon turned sour he was going to keave me stranded on boundary lanes as well, i never raised my voice once to him nor was i disrespectful, i will never use this company again. And I will be taking this further. Was visiting a friend who had just came out if hospital and needed help. So don't bother with the so called phone call, as I have made some calls of my own already. Don't want to hear from you again, sort your drivers out. I have used you guys for time now, you have lost a good customer.

AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!!!!

AVOID AVOID AVOID. Would give 0 if I could!!!! Absolutely awful!!!!!!!. Booked my taxi 5 days prior to needing so I knew I had a journey home. The night came and 7 minutes before my taxi was meant to arrive I get a message from on the app to say “sorry we have had to cancel your taxi”.. not really on is it? Leaving customers stranded at places 7 minutes before they’re meant to go home. NEVER BE USING THIS COMPANY AGAIN.
