A huge thank you to Friendly Cabs for the outstanding service we recently received. I booked three separate trips: from Port Elizabeth Airport to St Francis Bay, followed by two return trips.

The lady who handled the shuttle bookings was extremely efficient, and any queries I had were dealt with immediately. The drivers arrived on time for every trip, were all friendly, and made each journey an absolute pleasure.

I highly recommend this company and would rate them 10 stars without hesitation.
