DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
This company is a scam, do NOT use them, you will waste your money and be left frustrated. We booked a minibus and ON THE DAY the driver refused to come unless we him (not the company, him) extra money in cash. He shouted, threatened, and told us not to pay the company - to pay him or else he wouldn't take us. They wait until the day, just hours before in our case, to threaten you with this because they know at that point you are left stuck if you refuse. They back you into a corner to have to pay them more. Cash in hand, shouting down the phone, threatening us...I could not believe this company. Do NOT use. I regret it and have warned everybody I know, I would never use them again and wish I never had done. Don't waste your money, go elsewhere.

Unpaid Invoice

Unpaid Invoice

I am a small coach operator in Glasgow and we completed two tours for A2B by Better Fares in the summer.

Payment has been completely avoided and any attempt to contact them has been ignored. I have had to instruct a lawyer to recover the money.

Avoid at all costs. Fraudulent operation.

Total Scam, don't trust at all

Total Scam! They took money in advance (1550 pounds), then no answering to the phone, no mail, no proof of being a real company, nothing. I reported this to The Action Fraud yesterday, with all proof needed.

Be also aware of their other websites: a2bcoaches and minibushirelondon (and who knows how many others). They will maximize the scam and then probably will shut down all websites.

Unauthorized Review on My Site

I hope this message finds you well. I recently came across a review on my site that I believe may have been posted in error. It seems that the review was submitted without a corresponding booking for my services. I kindly ask that you please double-check with your booking agent to ensure that there hasn't been a misunderstanding.

As I have no record of your booking, I would be grateful if you could consider removing the review from my site. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated. If the review remains, it may lead to legal actions, which I hope to avoid.

Thank you for your understanding, and I sincerely appreciate your attention to this issue.

DO NOT USE…also known as BETTET…

DO NOT USE…also known as BETTERFARE..really bad company. Took the money but no bus turned up. Promised a refund but looking at their history they promise it but it don’t come. Let’s see coz I will not let this rest. Over £1000 out of pocket 😡 also once they have a few bad comments you will see a 5 star rating go up, total rubbish. Please don’t use them they are robbers. If the refund comes back I will change my comment but until then no chance. Nothing worse than being left stranded and out of pocket

Definitely recommend

They offered the best rate around - over £200 cheaper in some comparisons. Very easy booking system & efficient with confirmation & driver info.
Vehicle was spotless & pick up/drop offs were prompt. Driver was lovely & friendly - also was considerate to give the party his card in case anyones phone died/lost during our night. Also offered to pick up earlier or later if we wanted.
Can’t fault them at all & would gladly recommend to people as well as use again if I needed

it's a very good experience with Mr Ze...

I traveled to Oxford from Manchester with a group of friends, which was great. Very good communication with the driver, he was on time and the Coach was comfortable and very clean.
I felt we were in good hands during the transfer, I will use them on my next visit to London.
Many Thanks, Ze'

Paid over 400 for a mini bus

Paid over 400 for a mini bus, didn’t turn up on time and then turned up as a car. As we were going to be late to the event we all ended up getting there another way. On the way home they tried to charge 20 quid a drop off, despite not even doing the first job properly. The driver on the way home then kept falling asleep behind the wheel so the last customer walked home 20 mins

Paid £349 for a minibus return for 15…

Paid £349 for a minibus return for 15 people. Firstly we were called to say we hadn’t paid when we had done weeks earlier, then said we have paid. One 8 seater turned up 25 minutes late and another 8 seater turned up 10 minutes later. We were supposed to be collected at 1:00am again one 8 seater turned up at 1:20 it was another 20 mins before the other 8 seater turned up after going to the wrong venue!! We could have just booked return taxis for a lot cheaper! The whole point of booking a minibus was so we could travel and return together, never again!

Excellent Service..

We hired a 26-seater coach from Betterfares. The mini-coach immaculate and super-comfortable. We all had a safe and enjoyable journey. Highly recommended.
