Had an awesome experience with David who booked this ride within an hour of me flying into Heathrow. The communication was amazing and I felt really confident that there would be someone to pick me up. Travelling as a solo female that was really important to me. Car was good. Driver was very helpful with the a/c.

Cancelled

Karen_C, Sep 2025

Booked ride the night before and it was confirmed and then they cancelled an hour later. Even though they cancelled the reservation stayed in my trips. If I didn’t check my email I wouldn’t have known they cancelled.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Karen, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused with your booking BR-1314068775. We completely understand your frustration. In this case, the cancellation was made by a third-party partner, and unfortunately, we were only informed after the booking had initially been confirmed. While we always aim to avoid disruptions like this, there are rare instances where external providers cancel unexpectedly, which was the case here. We also acknowledge that the booking remained visible in your "My Trips" section, which understandably added to the confusion. This is something we're reviewing internally to ensure better clarity and communication for our customers in future. We truly regret the inconvenience this caused and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve our service and avoid similar issues going forward. Regards, Team Minicabride

Transportation for airport to London Hotel

Rachael_E, Aug 2025

I was expecting seamless and comfortable transportation from the airport to my hotel. Instead, what I got was a driver that made me wait 20 minutes to pick me up at the coffee shop in the airport. Then walked us over to his dirty Prius car that he had to take out a car seat. Then try to fit four pieces of luggage along with the car seat and five adults into the small car. During the ride he was on the phone for 75% of the time. Then remembered he wanted to offer us water and said he had an extra one in his car door. Very unprofessional not the service I expected based on the advertisement. I was extremely disappointed.

Cancellation!

Barbara_K, Aug 2025

Our reservation was canceled and we were not refunded our payment. This company canceled our reservation because our flight was delayed and eventually canceled. They would not transfer my payment to a new reservation for the next day. We had to find a new booking for our trip.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear customer, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience caused by your flight disruption. Please note that, as per our terms and conditions, cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled pick-up time are non-refundable. This policy is clearly outlined at the time of booking to ensure transparency for all our customers. We understand how frustrating unexpected travel changes can be, especially when they’re out of your control. While we do our best to accommodate rescheduling when possible, last-minute cancellations unfortunately fall within the non-refundable window. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to serve you under better circumstances in the future. Regards, Team Minicabride

Horrible do not book

Kat_T, Aug 2025

If I could Give no stars I would. Worse experience ever. Driver dropped me and my small children in an alley at the wrong location and left. I tried To explain to him it was not the right address and he refused to listen. I called the office and they were aggressive and not helpful. My kids and I sat In an ally for an hour before I was Able to get reception and call an uber. To be clear I gave him the correct location and he put in the wrong location. No empathy, no accountability. Extremely horrible way to start vacation

Very tardy and completely lacking communication

Mary_C, Aug 2025

To begin with, we received no communications prior to arrival on who, when, where and how we were to connect with our driver. After retrieving our luggage we scanned the area for our name to no avail. After 30 minutes I messaged through Viator. Another 10 minutes and we finally got a message back from Viator saying driver would arrive shortly, but still no details. Finally a phone call from the driver but very difficult to understand. We told him where we were. He asked if we could come to the third floor as he was at the car park. We took the elevator right next to us to the third floor and waited outside by the curb but no driver. Another many more minutes and several more phone calls. He finally realized we were at the terminal. He was expecting us to know that “car park” meant the garage, to know that was at a different elevator, and to walk to this garage elevator. Totally poor experience. The only reason I gave two stars instead of one was because he explained he was stuck in traffic and was very apologetic.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Mary, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about the confusion and delays you experienced upon arrival. That is certainly not the smooth and professional service we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating it can be to arrive after a long flight and face communication challenges. While our drivers do monitor flight arrivals and aim to coordinate directly with passengers, it’s clear that in this case, our communication process fell short. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of clear directions, especially regarding the pick-up point at the parking garage. Our team has taken note of your comments, and we are actively working on improving our pre-arrival instructions and communication through both Viator and direct messaging to avoid similar issues in the future. We appreciate your patience and the understanding you showed, and we thank you for acknowledging the driver's efforts despite the confusion. We hope to have the opportunity to offer you a much smoother experience next time. Regards, Team Minicabride

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Do not book this

Ronnie_B, Jul 2025

We had a delayed flight out of our control. We sent a note 10 hours in advance when we learned of the delay. Because the delay was more than an hour, the company refused to change times or pick us up. They also refused even a partial refund. Anyone running a product related to picking up folks at airports know delays are frequent and should have policies that allow for this. We were taken by nearly $200 USD by this scam of a company. Less important, but showing this company's lack of character - we request a booster seat for our kid who just turned 10 weeks ago. He is very small for his age. They told us boosters can get only be available to ages 9 and under. They discriminate against our kid who happens to be on the small side. They couldn't kd have easily made this right by just picking us up at the later time or offering at least a partial refund. Viator should stop working with this operator, but Viator also refused to help us at all.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Burt, We understand how frustrating flight disruptions can be. However, we would like to clarify that your original flight (AA78), scheduled to land on 26 July 2025 at 14:25, was canceled, not delayed. You then rebooked on flight AA20 for 27 July 2025, which was a completely new travel date, not a same-day delay. As per the terms and conditions agreed upon at the time of booking (and outlined by the third-party operator), schedule changes cannot be guaranteed for next-day arrivals. Because the change was outside the agreed pickup window and due to airline cancellation (which is beyond our control), we were unfortunately unable to adjust the service or offer a refund. Regarding the booster seat: our policy follows local safety regulations, which state that booster seats are available only for children up to 9 years old. While we understand your child may be smaller than average for their age, we are required to follow those rules for insurance and legal compliance reasons. We’re sorry this situation didn’t meet your expectations. We encourage you to reach out to Viator again if you'd like to raise this matter further, but please note that both we and Viator must abide by the policies set out in the booking agreement. Regards, Team Minicabride

Terrible Transfer Service

Rose, Jul 2025

The driver was extremely late. He said because of the traffic; however, the traffic should have been considered beforehand. We initially waited at the meeting point that we had been advised.The mobility-challenged family member became very frustrated because we were shuttled from place to place. The driver finally arrived and advised us to come to parking lot —-too much! We ended up getting a taxi from the taxi stand.

Highly recommend

Excellent service. Personable driver. Met us right outside of international arrivals. Very helpful. X

The driver is very friendly

Steven_Y, Sep 2024

The driver is very friendly and meet us at airport so we don’t need to go outside to look for driver.

Good experience

Margaret_T, Sep 2024

Picked up at airport after the driver finding me. I didn't understand the pick up point having never been to Heathrow previously. Good trip into hotel with lots of interesting discussion along the way.

Excellent but pricey

William_K, Sep 2024

Excellent pick up and drop off - easy to connect at Heathrow - a little pricey, but worth it for a late night arrival. Driver was polite and personal.

Very difficult to find the driver

ANTHONY_D, Sep 2024

The driver was very polite and friendly. HOWEVER, he was not standing with our name on a card fir us to find him! This was very frustrating and I called the company twice to find him. They called him and he found me in the phone talking to his company. This is NOT how it should be!!!

Horrible start

Mike_B, Sep 2024

Driver was not waiting with a sign with our name on it like told. We went outside while trying to call him. This was a horrible start to our trip 4 people and 8 bags. I had to them retirement inside to find him. Not the experience I wanted for our beginning to our Europe vacation work my family.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hi There, Can you please provide me with the following information so I can Investigate the issue? 1- Travel Date and Time 2- Lead passenger Name 3- Pickup and Dropoff 4- Booking reference I am looking forward to hearing from you soon! Regards, Haris Abbasi

Lackluster Experience

Frank_D, Sep 2024

I’ve booked with Viator plenty of times for previous trips and have never had any issues with our drivers. They typically go above and beyond to assist us, but this experience was extremely lackluster. While Viator was excellent in communicating, that’s the best thing I can say about this experience. We specifically requested an 11:30am pick up time despite our flight landing at 9:50am as we wanted time to enjoy the airport lounge for a bit upon arrival. The 11:30 pick up time was confirmed through messages with Viator as well. For this trip, Viator was contracted with My MiniCab. Once we landed, we received notice that our driver was already there to pick us up at 10:15 and we felt extremely rushed considering we expected an 11:30 pickup. We received a message from Viator again at 11:15 asking if we’re ready to get picked up. We started heading to the meeting point at 11:10 and arrived around 11:15. When we met with the driver his demeanor was off putting right off the bat. He seemed extremely annoyed with us and didn’t help with our luggages at ALL. The entire time he’s just walking quickly ahead of us essentially rushing us to the car. What are we paying this service for? Sure we are paying for transport, but all of our previous experiences as I’ve mentioned before have gone above and beyond to assist us with anything and met us with a pleasant attitude. We have enough luggage for a 3 week trip so assistance would’ve been much appreciated. Instead, once we were done pushing all our luggage through a busy parking structure to the car, the driver essentially demands me to begin loading the luggages in the car. The drive itself was also not a great experience. It was a warmer day and the driver put the air conditioning on the lowest setting possible to the point where it served no purpose because he just left the windows rolled down anyway. Imagine how warm and stuffy it is after navigating through the airport and busy parking structure with all our luggage on a warm day with zero assistance. The other part is that he made no effort to converse with us. Sometimes people don’t want to chat, and that’s ok. His attitude just added insult to injury is all. The part that stuck out to me the most was our arrival at the hotel. This is about the only time our driver helped us get the luggage out of the car because he just wanted to get us out and go on his way. He left us with our luggage on the curb way out in front of the hotel and was about to leave until I gave him a tip. At that point he started putting in work and helped us bring our luggage to the lobby but that was about as much work as he did, only because he saw money. Overall, I did not have a great experience this time around. I believe this was just a one off experience considering I’ve had great experiences before, but just be wary of any contracting with My MiniCab.

Disappointing and poorly organised

Annamari_K, Aug 2024

Booking private transportation instead of simply taking the taxi is, at least for me, to ensure that the trip has a smooth and easy start, a touch of luxury. That is why I'm willing to pay more than I would with a normal taxi. In our case, the "meet and greet" meant answering several messages regarding our schedule (which was already given at the time of the booking), and then sending several more when the ride did not show up. We waited for 25 minutes without knowing what was going on. Our driver was very nice but clearly not worried at all about the delay, and the car obviously nothing like in the promo picture. So basically I felt I was paying for absolutely nothing, and this service increased my stress level rather than made me trip easier. I would like to ask for my money back. My two stars go for the driver, zero stars for the rest of the service.

Laszlo_B, Aug 2024

I have got to my destination, no problem. But I booked an executive transfer. I was promised a Mercedes E-class/BMW 5-series. Well, this promise was not kept, it was a BMW 3-series station wagon which still wouldn’t be a big let down but my driver looked like he picked us up coming from the gym, sneakers, gym shorts and a loose white t-shirt. So I rate this experience average, i was picked up on time and got to my place. That counts but I paid more for executive service what I haven’t received. If you want an executive car/service perhaps there are better options.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Excellent service - highly recommend!

Nikki_W, Aug 2024

Our driver was very patient with our severely delayed flights from the U.S. -he watched the flight and planned his pickup accordingly. We only had to wait a few minutes and that’s more so because we flew through immigration and customs. He was very polite, very helpful, and got us to our hotel safely. It was so nice not having to worry about hailing a cab or finding an Uber big enough for 4 people and all of our luggage. Highly recommend!
