Good taxi companies in the city?

themerovingian

Hi everyone, I'll be in Dublin next week and I'll have to get a cab a few times early in the morning. I just want some suggestions for cab companies that will show up if I book that early in the morning? Since it's important that I get to my destination on time! Any help would be great! I'll be staying near the quays!

8202020 are pretty good. But just download Hallo. You will be sure that the taxi will actually come

+1 for Hailo. Otherwise most of the companies I've used ain't that great. Hailo will always get you a response and on time.

National radio cabs are good. They are the biggest too.

You just say on hailo you want a taxi. And the nearest one comes to you. Even at 5 am you shouldn't have difficulty getting a taxi

Hailo for me too, can't go wrong. If you want a company I prefer Global cabs over other companies as Global can take land marks as a guide. Other companies like 8202020 need actual building numbers which can be hard if you just at a meeting or missed a bus and at a bus stop. Also with global they ring you back if they can't get a cab to you on time. Example we needed a 7 seater with either NRC or 820 to get to a match. 15 mins after it was due we had to ring them back and they just said oh yeah sorry no 7 seaters. Another occasion Global rang us 5 mins before said no 7 seaters free did we want two normal cars. That's decent in my book.

Some of the Hailo drivers have started accepting jobs when they've a passanger in the car. I watched one guy drive from the N2 to Blackhorse Avenue (I live close to Finglas Village), so I rang him and he said "Oi'll be honest bud, I was droppin someone" - told him to stuff it and ordered another one.

This was the Sunday of the World Cup Final, and I was meeting a few mates in town, this idiot made me late - and because the call was cancelled I wasn't able to give him a bad review.

The guy who eventually turned up was a racist arsehole too, when I told him the story he asked me "Where was he from", I said he was Irish and he said to me "Strange, it's usually the darkies who get up to that".

Lovely bunch they are.

Cool I'll give them a look I don't care who picks me up as long as they are on time. It was just the time of the morning was worrying me!
