I used ladybird taxis for a night to London with 5 other young girls, and from the moment we got in the taxi we had trouble with the company. Despite having booked it a week ago, the driver seemed to have no idea where we were going and when we told him he didn't know how to get there then proceeded to shout at us because we didn't have exact directions. We asked at the start of the journey to stop at a cash point whenever was convenient, and pointed out several along the journey but the driver refused to stop despite agreeing initially. Throughout the journey he was rude, used offensive language and generally insulted everyone on board. We neared our destination over half an hour later than we should have done, still without having stopped at a cashpoint. He then told us that he didn't know how to get to the destination so ordered us to get out of the taxi. We told him we didn't know how to get to where we were paying him to take us and also said we didn't have any money other than what we gave him for the journey, he said that wasn't his problem and that he wasn't driving anymore, proceeded to shout and be rude at us and threatened not to pick us up for the return journey. We paid him the outward fare because he said if we hadn't then he would return to the house that he picked us up from and "break down the door." Once away from the taxi we rang the company to explain we would like a different driver to pick us up due to concerns that he would not show and the aggression he had displayed throughout the journey, to which they responded that he was the only driver but he was definitely booked in to pick us up and would be there at the arranged time. So the time came to be collected, needless to say he hadn't turned up and when we rang the service to check what was happening they informed us that he had walked in and told them we were making our own way home and didn't need a lift, and they had no other drivers to pick us up, so we were left in central london on our own in the middle of the night waiting for another taxi to eventually pick us up, despite us previously voicing our concerns to the company. Aside from all the drama, the driver was extremely rude and unhelpful throughout the whole journey, and I can safely say that neither I nor my friends from the journey will ever use this company again.

I am a parent with a 7 year old daughter, who has just been woken by the door bell, not for the first time I have had a taxi driver knocking/ringing at my my door at 11:30 pm (I haven't ordered a taxi!!) I called 5 sixes to allow them to explain and apparently they send cabs to addresses without a name or contact number!! because they are "flat out busy"..
