Me and three friends got into a taxi, each travelling to separate locations. The driver immediately insisted that we pay £30 upfront but refused to give a reason when asked, simply stating that because we were already in the taxi, we had to pay.

Throughout the journey, the driver drove extremely slowly and seemed to deliberately stall at each drop-off point. He would not move on until each passenger had thoroughly checked they had all their belongings. When it came to my stop, I clearly stated my house number on three separate occasions and even gave directions, but he ignored them and attempted to take me to the wrong address.
The whole experience felt like an attempt to make the journey take longer and justify the £30 charge, especially as this trip has never cost that much before. Very unhappy with the service and won’t be using this company again.
