  Thank you. Really helped me out today at short notice for a medical appointment. I wouldn’t have been able to attend otherwise. Andrew and Lucy are very professional and this company is a pleasure to be transported by, they concentrate on the little things that make trips much easier - even trying to give me a smooth journey despite the (literal) bumps in the road. Very grateful 🙂

  'Driving Miss Daisy' has changed our lives.Both nearly 90 we no longer drive. We wanted to treat two old friends to a pub lunch in the country. We booked our 'Miss Daisy' from 9.30am to 6.00pm and every minute was a delight! Davina, our driver, was the perfect chauffeur for our big adventure, ever smiley, ever kind and with a gentle sense of humour.
Thank you Bryan, for all the trouble you took- it was a memorably happy day! We have already planned our next adventure in the new year.

  Claire from Driving Miss Daisy  Orpington branch recently transported my 97 year old mother and carer from Bickley, Kent to Beverley in Yorkshire. The service was absolutely excellent from start to finish. Caring, considerate, helpful  and very professional and using a very good  vehicle which accommodated both passengers and luggage really well. This was the first time I've used this company and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

  We are very happy with Daisy’s taxi service. They turn up on time and are always professional. My nan can be a little nervous and they always make her feel at ease.
This is a fantastic service as my nan is wheelchair-bound and she can no longer get out and about. we are able to take her out for a meal and a little drive around the island when we come to visit.
