Reliable taxis in Wycombe?
Discussion
Since 'losing' our pet driver (changed jobs), we've been through a number of Wycombe Taxi companies, we use them for airport and station runs. They've all cocked up. How hard can it be?
- I was coming in from Boston (US) last Friday AM, 5 hrs delay due to weather. Taxi company had said they'd check the web etc. before coming to collect me. Had other half call them to make sure, they had no record of my booking or flight. FFS.
- This morning the other half was livid when the taxi (another firm) was waiting for 10 mins outside another house up the street (out of sight) at 7am.
I'm off to LHR at 05:30 tomorrow ... need to try another company.
Suggestions please. Ideally with decent cars and not sick-infested town stylee taxis with crap drivers.

Thanks. Will try one of you/them next time.
Currently sitting in Stockholm twiddling my thumbs while BA fix 'a minor technical problem'. Right.
Edited to add: On the way to LHR at 05:30 this morning (you know, stupid o'clock) the friggin' taxi driver had to stop to refuel ... plus the fuel station was out of diesel. Grr.
