Fantastic service, outward and return journey's cab arrived spot on time, text messages confirm booking, and when driver's arrive, fixed price , friendly drivers, EFF off uber with your fluctuating prices, support your local taxi services before uber, bolt etc put them out of business, then you will have to pay whatever they want.Oh, and Nick, you are a credit to your company....

Booked a cab online 4 days ago from Clapton to Kings X. This morning had a train to catch for a special birthday weekend. Got a text message to say cab was late after the due time. Couldn’t get through to an operator. After 20 minutes had to ask a neighbour to drive us to a local station to get public transport. Cab apparently arrived 30 minutes after its due time. We had 4 non refundable train tickets booked. We made our train with 5 minutes to go, no thanks to Sam’s cars. Very stressful running with children through train stations. Awful service. DO NOT USE.... Read more

Booked a transfer in the early morning to the airport which arrived 15 minutes late and then my pickup the same evening was also 15 minutes late. Called for compensation on my next airport journey and they said no, so I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. Short sighted and poor customer service.... Read more

I've used Sam's Cars multiple times now, mostly for airport pickups in the middle of the night and will gladly book again. Great service, always friendly people on the phone and the drivers wait for you, even if the plane is delayed (I called ahead to give a heads-up) one less thing to worry about when you just wanna get home after flight delays. Special shout out to Farhan, great driver.... Read more

Was recommended sams cars by someone. Really good service because unless you have a pet in London then only yourself will know how Difficult it is to travel on public transport or if you don't drive. No problems apart from one driver. Other drivers no issues . Now I had pre booked saying had a pet.And when I saw the driver I just knew he wasn't happy. Why accept the fare in the first place? I walked all the way to my destination. 1.the driver was paid for a journey that didn't happen. Also when I tried to explain the next day I was left with a horrible choice of no Refund and myself and my pet no longer allowed to use sam cars is that fair if he wasn't happy should not of accepted the booking.i hope that driver is very happy with himself. #discrimination...

I’ve used Sam’s cars now a few times and their customer service is excellent. They’re a bit more “expensive” than the bigger apps but you know you’re getting a top service and they don’t cancel last minute and take ages to come like the bigger apps where you can wait around for up to 30 minutes for a pre booked cab.
One journey we found out the train station we were going to to take us to the airport was not operating due to train strikes and the driver let us out free of charge (he couldn’t drive us to the airport as he had another job booked and it was early hours in the morning) but a lot of cab companies would of charged you a minimum charge as we’d already gotten into the cab and started a journey but Sam’s cars didn’t, top marks for the driver ????
Definitely will always use for future booking trips where pre booking is required... Read more

Have used this can company multiple times and on 3 occasions I’ve been given a price in my messages before hand yet at the end of the journey the driver has told us to give them more money? One time the reason was because we had shopping we had to pay £3 extra on our journey then the other times the driver said that was his price and they didn’t need to explain. Very confused about this as when I get given my receipt by phone they haven’t said we paid there extra fees, but instead the price that I was messaged before hand.... Read more

Extremely unreliable. I booked a pick up for 1am two weeks in advance through their website and pre-paid £260. Two days before they emailed to say there was a "surcharge" and that they would only pick us up if we paid another £91! The following day (one day before the journey) they then cancelled the booking entirely, leaving me and my girlfriend stranded in the middle of nowhere. When we spoke on the phone to explain that we had no other way to travel home, Sam's cars still refused to honour the booking and just said they were too busy with other jobs due to the tube strikes....

If a cab is booked for a time the driver must turn up at the specified time or at least somebody should call to tell about the expected delay - these are the basics of a taxi service.

Booked a cab with a baby seat for a return airport trip, for the pickup the cab turned up with correct baby seat bjt on the journey to the airport the cab was 15 minute delayed and most seriously of all the cab turned up without the necessary seat. Payed a premium for the cab and all they offered was £5 reduction. Has been my number one cab firm before but will not use again. SAD!... Read more

I have been using Sams cabs for a while now but won’t be again after today. Booked my friends in for an airport transfer.

Really disappointed. I have been using Sams for a few years now, and when ever they do a airport pick up they, never come to meet, instead the drivers usually get you to walk out to random drop off points, especially awkward when travelling with children and bags. Not what they actually say they will do, which is a meet and great, on time.... Read more

I’ve had good experiences with Sams in London’s and to airports for years, but consistently awful service if arranging pick up from airports... 3 times now they have not been there on my arrival and I’ve had to wait over 40 min each time. I keep hoping it was a one off problem as the service is otherwise good.
This most recent time though was particularly bad!
I ordered a cab to pick me up from Heathrow as had a meeting to get to in central London and was going to be cutting it close on timings. I had checked a few options and this was going to be fastest. On arrival at Heathrow, the cab was no where to be found
I had to wait 45 min for the cab and every time I called to ask when the the cab would arrive I was told 5 min. The last time I called I was just hung up on.
Once in the cab my sister who I was traveling with me asked if they could add a stop (same postcode, one road over, which we would literally be driving past. They then said they would charge an additional £10 for the stop... which we only needed because they had been so late.
Totally unreliable service.... Read more

Very dishonest. Avoid! Preordered a taxi for 4.30am with my wife and 5 month old daughter based on 2 checked in bags and hand luggage. Driver waited until car was loaded, with the baby, then increased the fair apparently because the amount of luggage (even though it was within baggage allowance criteria, fitted into the car comfortably and later accepted by BA). Then held us to ransom until we agreed to pay the increase! Best to avoid and use an honest company... Read more

Could not have been more explicit that we needed a Ford Galaxy. We won’t fit in anything smaller I said. No problem they said.
What happens? A dinky little estate shows up, late, and we can’t fit in. We call the dispatcher. You didn’t ask for a Galaxy he says. I most certainly did, I say. Well, we don’t have any, he says.

The lady i spoke with was very rude and was trying to pass the blame over to me when it was clearly their fault. I would not recommend using this cab office for airport bookings as they are unreliable.... Read more

Have used SAMs cars for 3 years for all my frequent air travel and have always found them to be good - until this time. They quoted me a unrealistic pick up time, arrived late after that pick up time and I missed my flight encurrung nearly £700 in changed flight charges. When I rang up to feedback I reached a v helpful woman called Dee who agreed that I was given an unrealistic quote and that I should email customer service. I did, and again, they agreed with their mistake and refused to do anything about it. They then ignored me for a further 3 emails when I said I had no option but to discontinue their service.
I go back and forth from various airports twice a month and in this age of uber, the fact that they would ignore a valued and polite customer is shocking to me.
Their customer service is appalling and there is no way I can ever use them again. At least uber actually look after their customers.... Read more

Not very good support from the controller who claimed the manager was not available. I wouldn't recommend them as they clearly don't care about customer services. I will be using their rivals such as Defoe cars or their nearby competitors after reading the reviews and my experience!
Please avoid. Maybe they will learn when customer vote with their feet.... Read more

This is not the quoted or stayed company pricing policy at £2 extra for car seat. we had a heated exchange because of it. I asked him to ring his boss. Upon which he refused to take us demanding the company falsely send an expensive estate model. The company thankfully did send another car. Our originally requested and preferred hybrid Toyota model (the main reason we use them) It all fitted fine in boot without any hassle from the new driver, We are wary to risk booking with SAMs again, the driver they sent was not working for their company he was working under his own rules without an understanding of making customers feel at ease. SAMs news to spend time in training and vetting their all their drivers.... Read more

This has to be the most racist cab services available in london. I booked this cab for my girlfriend it was the only available cab service at the time, but I soon started to regret that after my girlfriend informed me that the cab driver was questioning our relationship with me because of my skin colour. She told that the cab driver went on to say that she's lowering herself by being with a black man, and to top it off he then went on to say that our kids would end up turning out disabled. This sickening and discriminating cab driver had alot to say due to my skin colour.... Read more

One of the only companies with baby car seats. Had booked a baby seat but taxi arrived without it. Driver was cordially asked to go back and pick one up. Given he came early it wasn't a problem. We booked them again to pick us up from Gatwick airport after our hols.the driver was super friendly and professional. No problems at all.... Read more

Been using for years, not any more sadly. Booked a cab for 7.30 as had flight in City airport at 8.40 - more than enough time for the 18 min journey. Called them at 7.38 as no sign of car only to be told he was 10 mins away, ie: 20+ mins late. How come no one called us to say so? Finally arrives at 7.50. Real shame... Sort it out Sam! Want to support local business but stuff like this makes it hard...... Read more

Ordered a cab and it never came. After about 20 min of waiting I called them again and found that they hadn't even sent a cab out yet ( I live only around the corner from them so it shouldn't have take more than 5 min tops to get one over to me). They had no explanation as to why it took 20 min to send a car out. When I told them that because of them I had missed an important meeting, the man on the phone didn't seem to care and didn't even apologize.... Read more

DO NOT USE - booked a cab for my intern who had to drop some samples to a client using Kabbee and my credit card on Kabbee. Despite it all going through, when my intern arrived at the destination, he was told the trip had not been paid for. It seems that despite being given the option and being able to select and enter details, some cab companies on Kabbee do not accept cc bookings. At no point was this ever flagged. When I called Sam's directly to pay over the phone they refused. The lady who I spoke to was stupid, useless and really rude. At the same time, the driver basically threatened and held my intern hostage till he paid cash and then to make matters worse demanded £12 for an £8 fare. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, IT IS NOT SAFE and they will try and rip you off.... Read more

Booked a taxi pickup very close to their HQ 12 hours in advance for a 7.30 pickup to go to City Airport. They called 2 mins before pickup time to say things are busy and a different driver being sent. Driver showed up 20 mins late - terrible. Also when calling the office they repeatedly put the phone down on me. The driver had also been sent to the wrong address - seems he was only given a pub name several hundred metres away even though I specified the address. Won't use again.... Read more

Sam's? More like SCAM'S. I used Sam's to move a few things from my old flat to a new flat, and when I booked them minicab, I specifically asked for a MPV "to move a few things." I was quoted at £12. The driver came, loaded the vehicle with my things, then 2 minutes into the journey, he calls the Sam's office, says something in a language I didn't understand to the guy on the phone, then hands the phone over to me. The guy on the other end tells me they charge extra to move freight, rather than people, and I should have know that when booking my "six-passenger vehicle." I told him I didn't book a six-passenger vehicle because I didn't have any passengers to transport, and I was never questioned about exactly what I was moving when I booked the vehicle. At that point, he got very angry and said if I wasn't going to pay, he would instruct the driver to unload my belongings right onto the street. This is an issue beyond bad service--how can a company run like this, sneaking in extra charges AFTER you're loaded into their vehicle, then further harassing and threatening the customer? Beware when you take SCAM'S cars. Or just call Premier--they're so much better--they don't threaten their customers.... Read more

Used to use Sams all the time, but won't be doing so after a recent experience, when I booked a car three days in advance because, you know, I wanted to be on time for something. Ten minutes after the booked time, I rang them, and got a vague "everything's running late this morning". No sorry, obviously. Fifteen minutes later I rang again, and they insisted the driver was five minutes away. Someone turned up fifteen minutes later, and told me they'd only been booked for the job five minutes beforehand. Three-quarters of an hour late, and the only person who apologised was the unfortunate driver.... Read more

Horrible, 25 minutes late. We were waiting to go to Gatwick Airport and was a nightmare. Late and everytime we called them it was 5 minutes more. Appart of the contradictory excuses when we asked for a reliable time for the arrival he ended up shouting at us by the telephone. Last time I booked they were a bit late, this one is going to be tha last one.... Read more

We have used Sam's cars for years, and have recommended it to many friends. Drivers used to arrive early, and really know the area. Our last three bookings have not been good. 2 of them have been late, which could have been a real problem, as we were off either to catch a train or going to a show.
The office gave us bogus excuses (traffic), which the drivers themselves contradicted (one of them had forgotten the child seat we'd requested, and gone back to get it, the other one had received the booking really late) - it's taking customers for idiots to lie so blatantly.
The final injury is the last driver, who really didn't know the area, that we saw drive up a one way street in the wrong direction (they had to back away once a car in the RIGHT way arrived), then proceeded to completely ignore all GPS instructions (which were correct) to take us for an unnecessary spin round the houses. So the guy was late, the office lied, he didn't know what he was doing and he took ages longer to get there.
I called the office to complain, but no apologies was offered, and was told instead that they would guarantee us a better service next time we used them. They didn't say HOW they would ensure this. Basically, after YEARS of using them, I'm not ready to even try to find out. So from now on, we're taking our custom elsewhere.
A real shame as Sam's Cars used to offer really excellent service, but it's now completely gone down the pan. Avoid.... Read more
