Steff Gleeson, Headteacher at St. George’s SEN School, Newport, Isle of Wight ★★★★★
“Friendly Cabs have supported a student at St George’s to safely be transported home for 5 weeks. Friendly Cabs are exactly that, very friendly to the student and mindful of additional needs. Duncan arrives in good time, ensuring that the student is not waiting and getting anxious. Communication between school and Friendly Cabs has been excellent, Duncan has also gone above and beyond to wait with the student until parent arrived home. 

This taxi company specialise in supporting people with additional needs, very understanding, supportive and actively building positive relationships. Duncan is also training in Makaton which will support communication with a wider range of people with speech and language difficulties. As the Headteacher at St George’s School I thoroughly recommend Friendly Cabs.”

Tanya Louise – Private SEN Parent ★★★★★
“Duncan (owner of Friendly Cabs) transports my son for education and I would highly recommend. Before we started using his service, he sent us photos of himself, his car, asked about my sons preferences for journeys regarding things like talking, music etc, offered to meet him ahead of time to try and help reduce anxiety. He has gone out of his way to overcome problems with Red funnel cancellations (he collects my son from the Red Jet twice per week), he’s punctual, reliable, keeps in communication. A real gem.”

Lizzard Browner ★★★★★
We had a fabulous time being transported by you and as your company name says ‘friendly cabs’. Great service and went the extra mile to ensure we were all safe & happy. See you again Duncan from all the festival ladies!


Love this picture! Thank you so much, Lizzard and see you next year, if not before! Duncan

Paul Vane ★★★★★
Thank you so much Duncan for ferrying us Jersey folk to and from the festival this year. We had a fantastic time as always but made so much better having the knowledge that we had you waiting for us at the end of each day. Amazing service and a truly nice bloke. Consider yourself booked for next year’s festival…if of course you can bear the dulcet tones of our karaoke queens in the back!! Thanks so much Duncan and hope to see you again soon!

Nicole Kay ★★★★★
Duncan was absolutely superb and we highly recommend him. We used his services a few times whilst we visited the Isle of Wight with the kids. He was punctual, great at communicating and drove safely. He even drove back and returned my daughters bag that she left on the seat!

Ross Vick ★★★★★
Friendly Cabs is a fabulous full service taxi service. Our driver, Duncan, met us at the ferry and proceeded to meet us in several different days and appointments. He made it easy for us every strep of the way…I highly recommend this service.

Lel Hard ★★★★★
I recently visited the Isle of Wight for the annual festival with my daughter. As expected, it was difficult to get a taxi. While wandering around aimlessly and trying to get our bearings, Duncan approached us and asked if we were ok. After explaining our situation, he kindly took us to our airbnb before his next job and arranged for us to get to and from the festival that night. He made sure everything went smoothly and we had no worries about being stranded. Highly recommend this company! Thank you Duncan and all at friendly cabs, see you next year x

Ants Lambert ★★★★★
Booked Friendly Cabs for 5 of us to go to an event for the weekend, Jack up the Summer. Arrived on time and as stated in the name very friendly, spoke to us on the way and chatted to my granddaughter. Unfortunately, Duncan from Friendly cabs couldn’t make the other bookings we had made, but he had gone out his way and arranged another taxi company for us, Keith he was very pleasant and chatted with us about our event we had been to. I would highly recommend Friendly cabs to anyone, certainly go above and beyond, thank you for a pleasant journey.

Linda From New Zealand ★★★★★
I made a spur of the moment decision to go to the Isle of Wight one Saturday. My gt gt gt grandfather was married and also died on Isle of Wight and my gt gt grandfather was born there. It had been on my list of places to go. I saw a frienlycabs taxi when I got off the ferry and that is how I met Duncan. He was amazing and took me to churches, cemeteries and museums and patiently waited while I went fossickkng. He was set up for charging my phone and he even was prepared with a laptop and looked up some of the places for me. I had a great day. Duncan was super friendly and fun.

Leila ★★★★★
We had such a great experience with Friendly Cabs. Duncan was very kind and helpful and was very accommodating. We had a great chat and he very kindly donated to our charity walk. His company is doing great things – especially the Pay It Forward scheme. Would highly recommend!

Therese Schilder ★★★★★

Hele fijne vriendelijke taxichauffeur die snelle service levert. Was er binnen enkele minuten, en een leuk gesprek tijdens de rit! Busverbinding is niet super op het eiland, taxi had ook een prima prijsratio vergeleken met Nederland een stuk goedkoper ook. Dikke aanrader! En de groeten van de Dutchies!

Translation from Dutch ★★★★★
Very nice friendly taxi driver who provides fast service. Was there within minutes, and a nice conversation during the ride! Bus connection is not great on the island, taxi also had an excellent price ratio compared to the Netherlands, a lot cheaper too. Highly recommended! And greetings from the Dutchies!
