Addy Lee rocks!

I love Addy Lee!

My reasons?

1) You can book online which eliminates the need to sit on hold with your local mini cab service.

2) The standard vans are all nice and clean. No longer do you have to deal with some driver's funk (ya know what i'm saying?).

3) Driver's are professional and courteous.

4) Equipped with GPS - no more getting lost and having to read the A-Z to some driver who hasn't a clue.

5) Prices are pretty fair - especially if you can figure out what your company's account number is (my little trick, book under someone else's department).

6) SMS when they arrive. Don't wait outside in the cold wondering where the car is.

So go and book yourself an Addy Lee today and breathe the nice clean fresh air on the bill of your employer.

Perfect alternative to black cabs

I am huge fan of London Black Cabs. If I am ever out in London at night on my own it is the only way I will travel home. But if you have a planned journey then Addison Lee is the ideal choice. An internet site makes it really easy to book a car in advance - and the experience is fast and efficient. The prices are about on par with a black cab but the cars are all a high standard, and whilst the drivers may not have the same 'knowledge' as London black cabbies, they do all have GPS instead.

Professional and Prompt

Addison Lee seems to be involved in anything to do with wheeled vehicles, from couriers and movers to cabs and even motorcycle cabs. I've used them before for early morning rides to the airport and they are quite professional, arriving a few minutes early and calling your mobile to let you know that they've arrived.
They seem to be pretty dominant in London, so you can usually count on being able to book a car, but at the same time because the operation is apparently so massive you need to get used to the rules and not expect them to cut you any breaks - there are fees for being late to the car for instance. I've also found that the drivers tend not to be as personable as many taxi drivers - although this may well be because at 6am nobody is terribly chatty...
Still, it's nice to be able to go door-to-door to the airport and having the payment billed to you helps for when you are arriving from international flights and are short on pounds.

Reliable

I'm a huge fan of Addison Lee, especially since they have implemented their online booking service. Now it couldn't be easier to order a taxi. Living in East Dulwich, black cabs are just much harder to come by, so Addison Lee is a saving grace.
The online booking service is also fantastic - you can save off your favourite locations to make repeat bookings super easy.
They also a lot of cabs waiting around the mainline train stations, so rather than pay the premium of a black cab, I prefer to get an Addy Lee to meet me.
Drivers are courteous and the cars are clean. In my experience, they have been on time 99.5% of the time.
