Ah now. Let's ask Claude.
Claude if we rang your esteemed offices (very posh, you should all visit), and pre-booked the above fare what would the charge be?
The booking fee, the run-in (up to £3 isn't it) and then the mileage.
I guess it would be about the same as Addi Lee.
And Ivor you should get in and see Adi Lee's system. It stinks, the most amazingly unproductive system ever. ROCS is its name and bolROCS is what it is.
The think is Tom, Addison Lee claim to be cheaper than the Hackney Carriage trade! This proves that they are not, in fact in certain circumstances they are very much more expensive. I have a list of prices for their account customers that is about a year old and their prices have gone up since then. They quote W1 - SE9 £49.00 + VAT a black cab will cost about £35.00 for the same journey
you realy need to compare like with like.
comparing a telephone booking with a flag down is unfair.
now compare Addison lee with say com cab phoned booking.
the cabs are obviously the best, quality is the true test of cheepness, the boss of addys always gets a taxi!
No way am I defending Addi Lee as a company, I think they are really missing the opportunity to turn it into a huge company by bad management and short term greed. They need to invest more in their drivers and do more training.
You comparison falls down again though because I presume Addi will quote a fixed price whilst Com Cab, DAC, Radio Cabs will all insist on meter + surcharge+ booking fee.
Then the chance to spent an hour in an air conditioned People carrier or the back of a TX11, no comparison.
by the way addy bought some of those dreaded alternative cabs you have been decrying.
my comparison does not fall down at all, I was commenting not making a statement of preference other than to say one has qualified drivers the other not.
