For reasons I won't go into I won't be using them again.
But is there any taxi alternatives around Hartlepool?

If you want to get one at a reasonable time on a Saturday these days I'd book now!

Navigation seem ok the times I've used them (262626 I think) but apparently the Town has nowhere near the amount of drivers it used to have.

As a bunker rule you have to tell the reason why

Its only a rumour mind, but I heard none of their drivers wear Duchamps, allegedly! :snooty:

I reckon he left one of his socks on the back seat. A special sock.

LOL.

Seriously though, a driver overcharged me. When I queried this with their office,
they got in touch with the driver who (to put it nicely) told an untrue story to justify it, and I got fobbed off at best, and was made to look a liar at worst.
So out of principle I will not use them again.

I got a taxi in hull a few weeks ago, the driver charged me £6.50 for a route usually charged at a fiver, so I said "that's a bit high mate, it's only usually a fiver" so he went "ah just give us three quid then"

If I were you I would ask them about it on their Facebook page.

Last time I was out in town before Christmas I was shocked at how few taxis there are now. You used to be able to stand on Stockton/Oxford/Catcote Road at any time and flag one down within five minutes. Does Uber have owt to do with it?

Is Uber in Hartlepool? I think more to do with lack of demand. So cheap for taxi back home here they have your eyes out so I don't bother

joemaxi · **Posted:** Sat Mar 26, 2016 9:12 pm

No uber here...just too many jobs and not enough taxi's.

poolieinnottingham · **Posted:** Sat Mar 26, 2016 9:47 pm

Does that mean not enough people wanting to do the job?

joemaxi · **Posted:** Sun Mar 27, 2016 1:15 pm

Yes basically...its 24 hours a day now on here..never been busier.
