GlasGO Cars

I used this two years ago with great success. Just tried to use it twice over my 5 day stay with no success. Too bad this was a great app in the past. Apparently defunct now.

I’m a USA citizen who was visiting the UK. While in Glasgow, I needed a taxi service to take me from the hotel to the airport. I did a search on the App Store and selected this app because it had a lot of ratings (but no reviews). I’m writing a review to help fellow travelers like me. This app worked great! It was very intuitive to use. I easily pre-booked my pickup the day before I was to depart Glasgow. While pre-booking, it gave me an estimate of the cost so I knew what to expect. The cost was reasonable. On the day of my departure, I was concerned that this wouldn’t really work out, but it worked out great. The driver arrived a couple minutes early, which I appreciated. He got out of the cab and helped my wife and me load our luggage into the trunk. He was pleasantly chatty while we drive to the airport. At the airport, he helped unload our luggage from the vehicle. I paid by the credit card that was on file when I pre-booked my trip. The driver confirmed with me the cost (and I could see the cost accruing during the trip on his smartphone which was prominently displayed on the dash). The cost matched the estimate. In all, this was a great experience—using this app and the service behind it. I gave the cabbie a cash tip which he appreciated. I’ll use this app again whenever I’m in Glasgow again.
