I had 2 Royal Cars’ taxis over the weekend and both journeys beat the one Uber taxi journey I shared with friends. Both your drivers were very friendly, courteous and careful drivers. They were also... See more

Reliable taxi service
On time. Good communication. Comfortable vehicle. Drivers friendly and polite. Reasonable fares.

Several times I have found the on-line booking system unsatisfactory. This morning I attempted to book and paid for a taxi for 12.30 but it arrived at 10.30. I apologised to the driver and rang the office (very, very difficult!) and confirmed th 12.30 booking. At 12.45 I drove our guest to the coach station. As things stand, I will use Uber or another taxi firm until your on-line booking system is more user friendly.
Taxi arrived on time
Taxi arrived on time. The driver helped load our cases, which was very helpful. No radio playing, so a nice quiet journey - well done
Didn’t arrive at 3.30am and I missed a flight.
I had booked a 3.30am taxi for a flight, which I’d made a point of raising upon booking with Royal Cars Banbury. Waiting outside my property the tracking link showed the car had arrived and I was stood out on the roadside 5 minutes before their arrival. When I called them at 3.28 as the car wasn’t visible, they said they had cancelled the taxi because they had tried to call me a few minutes before. Waiting outside my property had limited signal but I called them back a few yards up on higher ground and it still wasn’t even 3.30am. There was no apology, they just said they had cancelled it, yet the link/map showed the car still there. Banbury Royal Cars simply said that ‘the person who took the booking should have taken pre-payment for early mornings’. This suggests to me they never sent anyone out but again, when I called them later to discuss there was zero apology or remorse. I missed my flight for my second ever meeting of a new job. Absolutely appalling - we’ve used them before, never again.

The driver was kind and helpful but the dispatch sent the wrong type of car. We travelled with a wheelchair and requested an estate car, but they sent a people carrier which was difficult for the wheelchair user to climb into. We managed in the end and got to our destination in time but it could have been better if the dispatch listened better.
