Dangerous + scam
Dangerous + scam. I used to use this company a lot when it was Chequers Cars, and really trusted them then. However, the last three rides with them (which will be the final three rides with them) have put me in direct danger, I have had an aggressive driver shouting at me continuously for 30 minutes, because I got confused about what he meant when he told me to run across a 6 lane highway to use an ATM on the other side (he stopped being abusive as soon as my male partner came to the car when we arrived at my destination, and suddenly became extremely polite and quiet, but spoke only to my partner from that point), and last night we got picked up at Stansted Airport. I was quoted £147 for the trip when I ordered via the app. When we got to the location, I could see on the driver's device that it said £117, so I queried it, but he insisted I should pay £150, and it was 2am after a long journey, so I paid. The receipt I received over email this morning was only for £125, so the driver presumably kept the rest for himself. I called this morning, only to be called a liar - they claim to plan to call the driver to find out "what really happened", but I doubt I will ever hear from them again. Really scary, uncomfortable experiences with them, I will never use them again and don't think others should either (especially women travelling alone)
I would also suggest you read their google reviews, where it's very, very clear that a lot of people have been scammed and put in really dangerous situations.
