I rang at 10.50pm but wasn't picked up till 11.25pm... I rang taxi firm back at 11.10pm to see where my taxi was to be told that he would be roughly 10 minutes away... I asked if they were busy (which is unusual on a Tuesday night) to be told yes we have no drivers . So when the taxi finally came i said to the driver your busy tonight aren't you.on which replied no why so I told him what time I originally called. He said they only just messaged me to come and pick you up.... this not the way to run a taxi firm keeping the costumer waiting nearly 40minutes (being a woman at that) on her own for that long . I have been using this company for 10+years.... very disappointed.

We believe this may be intended for a different company. Castle Cars is based in Shrewsbury and has been operating for around 5 years. We specialise in pre-booked airport transfers and long-distance journeys, and we do not operate local on-demand taxi services.

From the details provided, this doesn’t match how our service operates, and it sounds like you may have contacted another firm with a similar name.

We’d really appreciate it if you could double-check and, if appropriate, update or redirect your review to the correct company.

Kind regards,
Castle Cars

Where do I start,after years of using other taxi company's for airport transfers and either being picked up late or even on one occasion not showing up at all and being left stranded at Manchester Airport after a long flight, we discovered Castle Cars. They are a very professional company with great drivers,always on time and extremely helpful with all aspects of our journey. We wouldn't use anyone else now.

Castle Cars, service second to none.

We have used Castle Cars several times for airport and cruise terminal transfers from Shrewsbury.
They have always been on time in both directions. The cars are comfortable and spotless. The drivers are always courteous and very professional. We just can't recommend them highly enough!

Return transfer to Manchester Airport for 8 people

We booked an airport transfer for 8 of us to Manchester Airport a fair few months in advance, and the service was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The driver arrived 10 minutes early, helped us load all our luggage into the van, and nothing was too much trouble for him. On our return, he tracked our flight, gave us a call when we landed, and was waiting right outside to help us again. He even assisted us to the taxi area and made both journeys really enjoyable with his friendly conversation. You can really tell it’s a private, family run service personal, reliable, and done with genuine care. Such a lovely man highly recommend this service!
