Guys,
I'm trying to find a cab or car hire company to take us home after our wedding, however, all I can seem to find is:
1. Usual cab services - your A1, star cabs etc
2. Places touting as 'executive' which really seems to mean one bloke with a Merc charging more than triple the above
3. Addison Lee, Executive.
I was all set on the last, seemed marginally more expensive than 1. For what sounded like a much newer, nicer, and cleaner vehicle etc, however, 3/5 in Google is a tad concerning, and reading the negative reviews about being charged extra after the event, random no shows etc it's kind of concerning!
Any recommendations for what we're looking for? Basically a cut above a typical local cab firm giving you a lift home from the pub, but not a full blown vintage roller you'd use to perhaps get to your wedding!
London/Essex based.
Cheers in advance, right now 1. Is looking more reliable and easier!

sorted byHow many is it for? For my wedding... Which was in historic York... I booked a horse and cart! Maybe can find something in London / Essex region?
But if it is a wedding job they always charge extra... Wedding is an instant mark up as I am sure you are learning the hard way!! (edited)
Was a long shot I know! But best of luck - and congrats on the wedding!
Wedding party books car etc for service and in my experience are 10-20 mins late leaving, then late leaving the church.
Even later leaving the reception and so on.
All the people I knew doing weddings gave up because of covid.
Most work for mini cab offices, Uber etc
And yeah, as above, 'wedding' and markup. I'm sure there was a comedy sketch sbout it on Harry Enfield or similar, ahhh, wedding flowers sir, and they were identical but double price etc lol
