SCAM. FRAUD.
SCAM. FRAUD. I have never interacted with freenowcom, I have never given them my bank details. However, freenowcom recently attempted to take money from my bank account. Luckily this was flagged as fraud by my bank and they got no money. My bank told me they would have acquired my card details via illegal means when I used my card elsewhere. The banks’s fraud protocol kicked in. How on earth this business continues to trade is beyond me.

Booked Taxi
Booked Taxi, App said 4 mins. Driver Accepted with 18 mins time. It's now been 40 mins and the driver that's accepted is approx 1 hours away AND I paid the priority fee. Totally crap service, you should say on the first page what the REAL wait times are and I would have booked 1 hour earlier. And after a 40 min wait with the driver connected, he cancelled!!! Totally Crap!I'm now on the way to get the bus!!

Totally UNRELIABLE
Appalling service. Brebooked a taxi for a hospital appointment. Never showed up. Subsequently a message on App says driver cancelled pick up. This is not the first time. Totally UNRELIABLE. Avoid at all costs

Passenger rating is just insane and so…
Passenger rating is just insane and so very wrong. Drivers rating passengers is stupid. We're paying for a service. Does the seller of an item on Amazon rate a buyer? No, of course not. It's so stressful to behave in a perfect manner, and puts much stress on you to tip high each time. It absolutely sucks. My husband has gotten so many one stars as he's a frequent user. WHY? He behaves perfectly well but still gets them.

Untrustworthy and Extortionately Overpriced
I pre booked a taxi through FreeNow in Dublin. A preemptive charge was held on my card. The taxi collected me and when I arrived at my destination the meter was less than the amount held on my card. When I got out of the car the taxi driver charged me the larger amount even though the meter said less.I contacted FreeNow immediately and they said I wasn’t overcharged as the maximum amount for the trip had not been charged to me. Regardless of what the meter said. They refused to refund me.FreeNow is extortionately overpriced and their customer service is abysmal. Their drivers are untrustworthy. Plenty of other taxi apps to use out there. I won’t be using them again.If I could give zero stars I would

Do not use to pre book taxis
I was charged over €25 through the app when the cab meter said less than €13Quote was around €20We booked for 8:40am and were at the pickup at 8:25am so there can be no waiting fee.The same trip from the rank at Gard du Nord was €14 in very heavy trafficTheir email contact software also does not work so unable to contact to raise the issue with them

High Demand £15 Disgusting
Another £15 charged for “high demand” which is just grabbing extra money for nothing. Outrageous and I object. Liz Kahn

We used this app to make few trips…
We used this app to make few trips during our vacation in Madrid. However, on multiple occasions, the app could not connect to any driver despite claiming in the beginning only 4-5 minutes wait time.I expected them to provide us with a ride when I pre booked one day in advance, again they failed and cancelled our reservation at the last minute, leaving us to fend for ourselves. Poor service with absolutely no accountability!Another time, the app showed that the matched vehicle to be arriving in less than 5 minutes. But then even after about 20 minutes, the car didn’t arrive, nor did the driver respond to text messages or call. When I cancelled the trip after waiting for about 30 minutes, I was charged with a cancellation fee. What a scam!

Do not use this app in Italy
Do not use this app in Italy. Drivers legally start the fair upon accepting your booking, so if you wait 5-10 minutes you can easily start your trip with a cost of 12+ Euro.It's a complete scam and rip off. Terrible.

DO NOT USE FREENOW in Italy
Booked FREENOW in Italy, price quoted on app is always incorrect to the amount you will pay, our driver had €7 on the meter as soon as we got into the cab. Then when questioned he replied it starts as soon as you book (which could be along way from the pickup ) this is the only place I have been where the meters is already running. When I complained they stated that this is what it is. Not very helpful and disappointed with the whole process, you want to enjoy your holiday not get ripped off.

They charged me 13 euros over in Dublin, Ireland, where the ads are everywhere, and the customer service refused to refund it. As I used my credit card, I disputed the transaction. Highly unreliable service and terrible customer service.

Avoid at all cost - don't trust them
Avoid at all cost. I had a booked van from Paris towards the airport and it was cancelled with no notice at pick up time. We could have lost our flight if we wouldn't have found another van on time.

Charged twice and ignored by lack of customer service
Last straw with this company. Every other time I used this app to get a cab, it took about as long to find a driver than it did for me to walk there and back seven times. Booked two trips recently using the advance booking to avoid this situation. The app decided to charge me twice for the last trip and not one customer service rep bothered responding to my dispute. Blocking on my card now and never using this service again. Disgusting abuse of the holding charge system

Base fare charged by taxi drivers not always correct
I have sometimes experienced the problem of the base fare (before service fees etc.) charged being higher than what it was showing on the taxi meter when I alight at my destination. Could this be a case of some taxi drivers deliberately (or inadvertently) not stopping the taxi meter in time and letting the base fare jump to the next increment?At least some drivers have complained to me about the high % commission that FREENOW takes. One is left wondering whether some drivers are trying to claw back some of that commission they pay by letting the taxi meter run longer than justified?

App does not tell truth
If you want to get annoyed with an app that lies then use other services - there are plenty and that do not misrepresent information whilst waiting!The app tells you it’ll come in 5mins - and takes 20mins Do not use the service - customer service don’t care about their clients and probably not about their drivers!
