20 minutes still no taxi

Booked a car using the app for a taxi to collect us in 30 minutes time. The app accepted the booking and I received a text confirmation. However after 30 minutes a car had still not been allocated. After another 20 minutes we got on the local bus and then had to walk the rest of the way home. No contact from the company explaining the delay whatsoever, if you accept a booking I expect the taxi to arrive.

Dear Karen,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience with your recent booking.

We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have a booking confirmed but no car allocated, and for there to be no communication explaining the delay. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this caused.

Your feedback is very important to us and helps ensure our service remains reliable for all customers. Please could you email us at feedback@alphacarsandtaxis.co.uk so we can investigate this further and work to resolve the issue. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,
Alpha Cars

Lack of transparency in pricing

No problem with actual journey but there is a lack of transparency in pricing. When I booked online I was quoted a cost of between £76.80 and £91.10. The booking confirmation indicated the cost would be £76.80. However I was charged £93.50. I twice gave Alpha the opportunity to explain but they didnt come back with a satisfactory explanation. Very disappointing as previously not had a problem with this company.
