★★★★★ Great !
Was very helpful and van was spotless .. ride was one of the best our whole vacation…
★★★★★ Legit App
This app is legit and professional. Gets me a taxi quick, and I pay through the app. It's just like Lyft and Uber in the States but with better prices…
Top negative
★☆☆☆☆ Do not use
You quote a price range online and then charge $15 Eu higher than you quoted! This is a horrible business practice and a scam!…
★☆☆☆☆ Is there a strike?
Tried to use while in Barcelona a handful of times. Never located a driver. They all kept canceling. I am thinking this is intentional from the taxi industry. Just eventually flagged one down every single time.…
