    Can anyone recommend one? Or if a taxidriver wants to PM me.

    The mother and father sometimes need a taxi from the hospital and the one reception ring or recommend (red business card, D15 taxis) is terrible.

    Have to be rang again to see where they are, lie about being outside, charge silly money for a short journey, won’t come into waiting room to get them, sometimes don’t turn up (happened to me, 40 minutes waiting and gave up)

    Thanks, in advance

    Never heard of a taxi company called Blanchardstown Taxis.

    We've moved over to using Lynk in work and so far they seem to be working out (01) 473 11 22 - no need for the app if your folks aremt technologically inclined.

    8202020 cabs always reliable for me.

    ETA, I see they're now Lynk.

    Very dissapointed to hear of their experience. Personally I've used D15 Cabs for years and found them to be excellent. I was even going to recommend them.

    I knew Lynx rang a bell, after the one time I used the app and left a review on the play store

    Almost twenty minutes waiting for a four minute taxi. Then cost €9, but got a taxi outside the venue without this app three hours later 12am or so and it cost €6

    Then thinking back what made it worse it showed you the driver at home not moving, talking about hanging people

    Ill give them the number and see how it goes, definitely wont be able to use the app lol
