LYNX TAXIS Reviews 

If I could give them no stars I would. Absolutely shocking service. On two occasions they have not turned up as promised. After the first occasion i decided to give them an opportunity to redeem themselves. I booked a taxi 3 hours ahead of them for an important event. 3 minutes prior to its arrival time, I got a message that my driver was a few minutes away which included his name and taxi reg number. Almost simultaneously they debited my card for the journey, then they rang me to say ‘sorry we don’t have a cab for you and don’t know when we will!’ After arguing back and forth he put the phone down on me. I contacted Free Now and they had a car to me in less then 2 minutes. I work for a large organisation and when ever I’m asked to recommend a taxi company, it most certainly will be Free Now and I’ll tell them to avoid Lynx!

Don't trust this company they let you down they are aload of cowboys you pre book a taxi for a certain time they message you to say it's arrived you phone them up to say its not here just to be called a lier.

Used a few times this week out of necessity and every time the driver almost killed us with carelessness looking at his phone instead of the road and having to slam brakes on last minute. Tried to call and let them know but they just answer the phone then put you on mute until you hang up. Another time couldn’t get one at all, the app takes forever to connect you with a driver then immediately says driver had to cancel so we ended up having to walk 2.5 miles home. Won’t bother using again, a lot of more reliable options are available

Do not ever use them. Rip off

Very good service driver 517 collected me from Manchester Royal was polite, courteous throughout my journey back to Wigan

ABUSIVE DRIVERS!!! They lock you in the car, demand more money than they’re supposed to, shout at you (even lone young girls), if you’re 2 minutes late they’ll get nasty, they can NEVER find where to go and expect you to tell them where to go as if you’re the taxi driver although, they never actually let you speak to give them proper directions. The WORST experience I’ve ever had with any taxi company and I use Wilmslow Taxis, Club Cars (which is amazing I highly recommend them) and Uber none of which I’ve had any kind of experience like I have done with Lynx Taxis.
The absolute worst service and nasty abusive predatory drivers. DO NOT USE!

This is the most relaiable taxi service , I have find in Manchester .Using their app , Not that you can see who is coming to pick you up but can see his whole profile . I have liked that service a lot . BTW I have booked via webpage and got update how far driver is and how many minute he will take to pick me up from a very unpopular place in south Manchester where taxi service refused or just hanged up my call and it was Sunday afternoon when I contact them . So I will consider them really reliable service so far .

I used Lynx thinking a local taxi firm I’d rather them get the money than Uber.
Wow I should have gone with Uber it would have been £15 less. £50 I’ve just paid from heaton mersey to Trafford park and back

0 stars if I could - absolutely s**t. Don’t even bother. Passenger cars or silver town way better

Taxi drivers are always praying on young women, I’ve had numerous inappropriate comments made to me by there drivers I never feel safe. Avoid using this company if you are a female.

Avoid!!!! I phoned them and was told I'd wait 10 minutes I waited 20 although I got a call from the driver saying he was another 15 minutes away! As a stranger to the area I ended up walking 4 miles to get my train. Good thing I'm a reasonably big guy who can look after himself. Thanks for nothing and when I rang back some Asian guy tried to make out he couldnt understand me.
AVOID!! I would have given no stars if I could. Dont trust these people to get you anywhere......

I had 20 pound cash and the taxi driver had a go at me for it, because HE had no change. Then I was 9 minutes late getting downstairs to him, as soon as I got in the taxi he was shouting abuse at me baring in mind I’m a 20 year old girl, and it’s 6am in the bleeding morning!! Then to top it all off, a different driver also gave me a bad attitude when it was literally, and I mean literally 2 MINUTES he was waiting!!! The worst, especially during a global pandemic so rude and ignorant, no regard for other people’s lives — just selfish as hell, all money orientated they give no hoots for the passengers whatsoever. Disgusting.

WARNING, STRONG WORD OF ADVICE DO NOT USE YOUR CARD WITH THIS COMPANY VIA THE APP AS THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY WITH NO SHOW, IF YOU MUST USE THEM PLEASE PAY ONLY BY CASH ONLY AS THEY CANT TAKE YOUR MONEY,

The taxi I booked was on the app, the driver did not bother to drive to the pickup point, and there is no evidence that the driver turned up at the location at the address posted in the app, but set the meter and activated it to charge when me I was at Tesco East Didsbury because Tesco's has a designated area to pick people up, the pickup points this is for taxi services, Tesco's do not like cars picking people up at the main doors, the driver did not bother to drive to the pickup point and there are penalty charges where the company will take you money run the meter and cancel the job this in my book is steeling taking my money on the card, I did not authorize this payment, he should have been at the designated Pickup Point as your drivers would at Morrison's supermarket, so now it seems it is justified
for a taxi company to take your money and not have to pick you up, so instead I had no choice but to walk all the way home in the rain affecting my health as I have a back problem and am limited to how much I can do, I do not believe it is acceptable or professional for a taxi company to behave in this way.

I will never use this company again, if you cant trust them with the little jobs how can you trust them with anything else, I will give my money to another taxi company who deserves it.

Taxi driver turned up late after going to the wrong address, car smelt of smoke and was dirty. We had to direct him to our home and run down a road to find him. He barely spoke any English. The whole experience was a disgrace and we almost missed our train.

So thankful and proud to say lynx taxis are my local company. They have never let me down in all 10 years i have used them. The call center staff are very friendly and the drivers are professional in full uniform and very helpfull with shopping and luggage.

Thanks lynx you are the best

I regularly book taxis for my mil always on time always helpful and assistance when required just what is needed on weekly trips to christies ... thank you

Fabulous company with well presented uniform drivers.
They charge no extra after midnight which most other companies do so that makes them the best. Lynx app is another great way for us to make journey bookings without call queues. Will continue to use and recommend to family & friends.

Booked a taxi via phone through the office for a 3 mile trip I make regularly for £12 - (usually around £6/7 but it was slightly later.) When I got in the taxi he set the meter to £10 starting and insisted I gave him £20 cash or else the meter will be more. I said I had booked it and agreed £12 with the office. He just kept saying £20 making out he couldn’t speak English. When I said I was not paying £20 he got slightly aggressive so to ease the situation I said I’ll give you £15 mate and that’s it. After this the taxi ride was very tense and he was acting strangely. Luckily I didn’t give him my exact location I wanted to go. I believed he thought I was drunk because of the time I was traveling when I was just going to work. They obviously pray on vulnerable people. I also believed he turned his mobiles off so he could do the job cash in hand.

My stress levels have gone through the roof since using this firm for my daily drop off at work. When the iOS app was upgraded near Xmas 2019 I was no longer able to take my daily journey on the meter, instead the app was trying to charge me nearly double the usual cost on a fixed fare! My usual fare of £8 had jumped to £15. I made arrangements with the office (bypassing the app) to have this overridden manually as they agreed the fare was unfair. However some of the drivers have been contacting the office prior to my pickup to have this overturned, simply to charge me the more lucrative fare. This has resulted in too many disagreements with their drivers, which is not what anyone needs at 6:50am each day. I will no longer use Lynx taxis as I’m constantly trying to mop up the mess created by their drivers through greed. I will take my regular custom elsewhere.

Overcharged. Partner was charged £40 to travel 11 miles, forced to pay by cash although pre-booked with card. Then card was also charged. Called to make a complaint was told I would be called back - no one called. Called them again and was hung up on. My partner shook by her experience with driver. Poor.
