There are several indicators that this is not all they would have you
believe.

First of all this appears to be a Private Hire (minicab) service and not
taxis. The way that they present themselves is also illegal as they are
not allowed to suggest that they are a *taxi* service.

The fact that everything is pre-booked with money up front (no
exceptions) seems a little suspicious.

If they are licensed why don't they say that and if they are not then
there is a strong likelihood that they do not have the proper insurance.
Would you take a chance or let your mother / sister / daughter /
children loose with such an outfit

Finally if the ad above is an example of the attention to detail then
heaven knows what they are really like.

Take a *proper* licensed (black) taxi - you know you are insured and
safe.
