Lately, Freenow's map is applying normal prices in crowded areas, for example quoting 1.1 in areas showing 2.2 I don't understand why this is happening. I think this is causing drivers to refuse jobs... See more

My FREE NOW UBER driver took the incorrect turn even though he used a GPS. He told me the fee was €12 and I see he charged me
€14!!!! Be careful. Rather pay cash because NO ONE responds when you complain. Don’t trust this type of service!
Unprofessional Taxi Driver
I called a taxi and the driver was completing a close ride to mine and then after 15 minutes the app was saying that he had arrived when he was literally not at the spot I was at but at another spot far away from mine. Not sooner enough, he cancelled my ride and all of these within pouring rain.
Excellent friendly drivers all on time…
Excellent friendly drivers all on time and helpful.
Some of the drivers are lovely
The driver made it a very pleasant and happy experience. Keep people like him on staff he was amazing
Very disappointing and unsafe…
Very disappointing and unsafe experience with FREE NOW. The driver refused to take me to the exact drop-off address in my booking and ended the ride several blocks away to “avoid traffic.” I explained that I was experiencing severe eyesight issues and it wasn’t safe for me to walk alone, but my concerns were dismissed.
I reported the issue through the app and have received no response. This situation was distressing and unacceptable, especially after clearly communicating a vulnerability. I expect this to be properly investigated.
The driver was extremely polite.
Very high percentage of commission from…
Very high percentage of commission from taxi drivers up to %25 of fare on taximeter bad loyalty system standard, bronze, silver, gold ? Insensitive payouts are impossible to meet not realistic and delayed payouts ☹️
FREENOW are very competent operators
Taxis arrive very quickly Drivers are courteous and careful Cars are clean Nothing to complain about, really 10/10 Impressions based upon many trips in Jan. & Feb. 2026n̈
Awful behaviour
The driver cancelled the ride when I had texted him that I’m going down in a minute . It took me 2’ to go down when I saw him leaving and the worst is that your company wants to charge me 4€ for the cancellation I didn’t do !!!!!
Awful experience
Awful experience – funds held despite payment
I paid in full for a journey on Wednesday 4 February, but the funds are still being held.
I have tried to resolve this properly over the past several days, including emails, in-app chat, and a phone call. None of these attempts have resulted in the issue being fixed.
Free Now replied publicly on Google Maps telling me to contact support, but that is exactly what I had already done multiple times. That public reply is the only response I’ve received, and I’m unable to reply to it there.
As of today, the funds are still being held and the issue remains unresolved. At this point, the problem is not just the payment issue but the lack of effective customer support and reliance on stock responses rather than resolution.
Complete lack of customer service
Complete lack of customer service. Was charged twice for a ride and after 5 days still no reaponse
Super useful but very expensive
It’s a super useful app and a great service wit mix of independent drivers and black cabs. The only negative is that their prices have gone up quite a lot recently even if inflation has moderated over the past two years. It makes it a very expensive service.
