Who do you use? I hardly ever use one but need one tonight.

I did download Uber last night but it didn't seem particularly cheap to me (~£15 to get from Camberley to Nine Mile Ride) and I didn't particularly want to give them access to paypal or a credit card.

Ok, thanks to both. Will give them a call. (And maybe become a taxi driver!)

It's stupidly expensive. I get charged about #12-15 just for going from either Camberley or Bagshot, to near Pennyhill. It's one straight road, about 2 miles. It's got to the point I'm looking at bus routes! Buses !!!!!!!
I went from Camberley (about half way down Frimley Road) to Nine Mile Ride, and it was roughly £17 with Five Sixes.

We ended up in Ascot later that night, and by comparison the taxi home (arranged by my date, and a company that she's used enough in the past that they knew where she lived) dropped her off in Bracknell, then took me back to Camberley (arriving about 4am) and was £41 - which for that time of day I thought was a very decent price.

Overall, it wasn't a cheap night though - can't actually remember what the taxi to Ascot cost - about £25 I think.

Eurotaxis
Ah..... the reason I don't use them is because my attached neighbours are immensely noisy. They used to be even more immensely noisy when there were two families there - but one of them moved out a year ago and they were definitely the main cause.
The husband of the family that moved out is a driver for Eurotaxis - if he turned up, I think we'd have a fairly awkward journey..........
