Completely unreliable
Completely unreliable. I booked a cab for a specific time days in advance and they never bothered to show up! Joke of a service. Apartently they were 5mins away for the entire hour I waited for them. AVOID!

Completely unreliable. I booked a cab for a specific time days in advance and they never bothered to show up! Joke of a service. Apartently they were 5mins away for the entire hour I waited for them. AVOID!
Haven't used a taxi in years so nervous to book one online. But this company were great. The website was easy to use. They confirmy booking by email and text I got a text reminder 39 minutes before cabs were due, both cabs turned up on time and charged me exactly as quoted. Cannot fault this company and their excellent service. My drivers were Kevin and Jennifer
Very pleasant driver.

Pre-booked an airport transfer well in advance for 6:45am. Received a call at 22:30 the evening before telling me they couldn’t do it. Leaving me desperately trying to find an alternative at extremely short notice. Thankfully Radio Taxis came to the rescue.
So, first time i used the company last night and they charged me twice for the same journey. I have contacted them to say there are two charges on my credit card and they have just said as far as they are concern there isn't, even though i have sent them a screen shot of the charges! They finished with i need to contact my bank as the is no more they can do. Brilliant. DON@T USE THEM. OK lets see what Tuesday brings but i was still charged twice for one journey and they are asking for me to contact my bank because they did so. Anyway lets see
We always use Cab My Ride for local and long journeys. No trip is ever too big or small and we always have a first class experience. Whenever we have faced small issues, their customer service has been second to none and we have had matters resolved swiftly without any hassle.

Last Friday we got off a cruise to Southampton while the train strike was on. It was chaos with many people waiting in the taxi queue. I looked up a local company and was lucky enough to find cab my ride. Somebody was there in five minutes. Our Driver, Jean-Pierre, was polite and friendly. We were in time for our coach while others clearly weren’t, Many of the reserved seats were empty with people no doubt still waiting in the taxi queue!
I had a cab from my house to the local community hospital and a return journey later. The journey there was with driver Mohammed and the return journey was with Ahmed, both were on time and very helpful. The whole experience was very good and I was kept informed by text of everything that was happening. I would thoroughly recommend this company and will certainly be using them again. I have been unable to use the link on my texts to leave my review as I don't have a smart phone.
Booked a cab for 03.40 for tomorrow some days ago. Received a call at 21.00 to say booking cancelled. Apparently because of Eid, whilst I completely respect their religious celebrations, the dates have been known for months & maybe they shouldn’t have taken bookings. Not sure I’ll use the company again!
Never use cab myride for your taxi. They took and confirmed our booking days before. 20 mins before pick-up I got a text saying they weren't coming and contact them again in an hour leaving us high and dry with one of the group having a leg injury an unable to walk. After a lot of panic managed to get a ride with someone you could trust. Cab my ride are an unreliable bunch of cowboys who shouldn't be allowed to be a taxi company.
Driver arrived not knowing whether he taking us or not? After 10 mins he finally started the car. The car had an awful smell like he didn't take a shower for days. We opened the windows but didn't help much. He stopped the car before to arrive at the address just because he heard my partner telling me that the car is too stinky. I am asking: Why instead of taking it personally, take a shower? In the end of the day if you are a taxi driver, you suppose to smell fresh and nice. Never gonna use them again!
Worked with them for a month over two months ago and still waiting to get my payment. Stay away from this company. I am Southampton local and have been licensed by Southampton City Council.
