Jamie Love

Sadly over charged after confirming price upon booking a taxi. Both collections from each location were 30 minutes past confirmed booking times however all sorted by a very understanding operations manager who took ownership of performance and applied a discount.

Response from the owner: Hi Jamie,Thanks for the chat on the phone right now. I apologize for your frustration. I will be addressing it internally with my staff to ensure that this does not happen again. As mentioned on the phone the wrong tariff was used by my staff when quoting / making your booking. You asked for 6 people which is a maxi tariff and the price that was quoted from my staff was for 4 passengers which is a totally different tariff. In relation to being late i can only apologise and hope that next time is a better experience. If you would like to reach out to us any further please send us an email using admin@etwv.com.au Thanks M.B

FRANCES ELIAS

There are taxis & taxis, but only one can be recommended by this 91 yer old handicapped female depending on assistance right into her selected venue, not a mere drop-off.Only safe drivers are employed, not show-offs, really unpleasant drivers I haveexperienced previously in other ‘services’.Each driver is courteous and a friendlyconversationilst.Obviously, I am a most appreciative frequent user.My name is Frances.
