Aberdeen Taxis

Visitors to Aberdeen, don’t waste your time. For locals only, it appears.

First, international numbers aren’t accepted for verification, even though the option is provided (US/Canada/+1 dots not work). Second, even if you have a UK/+44 number, it’s impossible to get any response. My first attempt was just 1/2 a mile from the university. The app said 2 minutes to get a ride, but after two minutes I got a sms that no taxis were available. Tried it again up at the bridge and waited 5 minutes with no sms confirmation of anything, so I gave up and took the bus. The app looks pretty, but it’s pretty much useless.

Will not accept US phone number

During the setup, when asking for a phone number, the app states that an invalid phone number was given even though the area code was correctly set to +1 (United States of America). Check out ComCab app instead.

As others have said, entering a U.S. phone number returns an error, even after changing the country code.

American phone number claims it’s not valid.

American number results in a validation error

You’d be as well trying to book a taxi through an app for a supermarket, a game, gym whatever. I’m not for a moment suggesting that would be a reliable way to get a taxi in Aberdeen. It would be more reliable than these jokers though

Typing in legit addresses yet it doesn’t recognise any of them. Waste of time

I booked a taxi and everything was going great however my grandparents had booked a taxi so I attempted to cancel and it didn’t work so I emailed and within 1 minute they sorted it. Thanks Amanda I will definitely use again
