VIPs is by far the most responsive taxi service I have ever seen, period. My experience with them is the following: Call and order the taxi - Put your coat on - Get your keys - Turn off the lights - Lock the door - Get in the taxi. I am not exaggerating.
It obviously has a lot to do with the fact that they have lots of taxis in Lefkosia and they have posts at strategic points in town such as Fashion Market in Strovolos, Intercollege in Egkomi, their office in the center, etc. This allows them to respond very quickly to calls wherever you are calling from.
In my experience, a taxi will pick me up an average of 5 minutes after I call it with the occasional case where the taxi driver actually gets there faster than I can come down and calls me.
As with all taxi services, driver personalities range and so does the overall in-taxi experience, but that is to be expected. Do not expect limo-caliber service, but the overwhelming majority of the drivers working for VIPs are very pleasant, friendly and polite. I have never had a negative experience.
If you are looking for fast and reliable taxi service within Lefkosia this is the place to call.
Pros:Extremely fast, reliable, polite drivers
Cons:None.
