Dusgusting taxi service! We jumped out when we realised we had just been charged $17 to drive a few metres!!! we said NO No No! We'll get out, we'll take someone else. Then the driver verbally abused and threatened us until we gave him some money. NEVER use this taxi service!!!

WORST DRIVER EVER. I caught a taxi into town with co op which cost $10. The return trip with sail taxi cost $22. AND THE TAXI STUNK OF ASSHOLE AND CIGARS. Not necessarily in that order.

The price this company charges is insane and very disappointing. I traveled 2km to my home at 4pm in the afternoon with little to no traffic and was charged $15. When i asked why it was so expensive i was told because of petrol prices. Im suprised this company is still in business. Very very disappointing.

This company is complete rip off if they charge fares like I experienced today.
I have lived in Auckland for 21 years - and luckily I have never used them before.
$29.50 for a fare from Novotel (Customs Street) to George Street by the Domain at 2:20pm, when the fare should be around $15.00 max, is so bad it will be reported to the authorities.
Don't touch a company that rips people off with both terrible fares and rubbish cars.
Learn from a mistake - and choose any other company excpet for Sails!

What a rubbish taxi company. Easily charged 3-4 times the usual fare for the trip from a close friend of mine to home. The driver told me that he was a student and drives when he can only make 'more cash than normal' and puts his signs on his cab when he wants to drive. Sounds dodgy to me. Unimpressed and will follow up with the company and then the NZTA

Worst taxi ever, I can't believe the prices they are charging. The driver said he had had 3 fights already that day and it was because the company had increased the fares because of the Rugby World Cup. The price was about 4 times the usual with other companies. I will place a formal complaint on the NZ transport agency. A total rip off and a very bad image for Auckland.

Worst Taxi Ever! Picked me up at the via duct and told the driver we wanted to get off a Go to Gillies Ave, Tried to take us through town, when I asked him what the hell he was doing he said he was going through K Rd. I tld he that wasn't the way and he told me not to shout at him. I got out of the taxi at the next set of lights where he proceeded to grab my Girlfriends arm and left finger imprinted bruises - Will be laying assault charges...

I am totally disgusted and repulsed with the way 4 seperate sail taxi drivers treated my sister and I tonight when asking if they had eftpos in their taxis - it was like sexual harassement and to make it worse when i rang sail taxi's to lodge a complaint they just fobbed me off.
