Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My husband and I were in Westport and did not have a car but wanted to see Achill Island. We contacted Brendan McGing Taxi and thought we might hire it to go to ‘lunch’ somewhere on Achill Island so we could see the area. We had never been and thought we could walk it. Ha! Fortunately Liam was our driver. He wisely suggested a mini tour instead. What a great experience! Liam is kind, has a great wit and knows the island! The island is beautiful and Liam is wonderful. Thank you Liam!

I found this company online and honestly I could not be happier with the service! From start to finish they were easy to talk too and very accommodating, even when some things changed. Our driver JJ is an absolute gentleman and made our experience fun and memorable. I have already recommended this service to people and would not hesitate to do so again!

Top Class and personal service. We used this company 3x . Liam is a great guy very friendly with a great sense of humor. He drove me from Westport Center to Croagh Patrick. We also had the owner on a Saturday even!! Drive us from Westport to Sligo Town ( we got the bus schedule wrong and this was a last minute booking) He was very friendly and a true gentleman and a great conversationalist.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Very unprofessional on the phone. When I asked what is the earliest run he does he replied “depends” when I said 6:40 he replied “you’re having me on” “what would you be needing a taxi for a that hour” when I replied “going to work” he laughed and was like “20 to 7 going to work ya right” …. I’m a local and will deter everyone off using this service. Disgraceful really …. Should really train yere staff in how to speak to the public. May I add I think this may be the same guy who wouldn’t let my friend pay by card and was going to hold her in taxi (the law would state that all taxi drivers have to accept card payments) .

We used McGings for our four day stay in Westport. We were a party of two adults and four children. We booked a minibus several times. The service was prompt and friendly. Highly recommend them.

I have never been to Westport before. So the day before we traveled I went on Tripadvisor to get good advise and hints about where to go and what to do. McGing's Taxi Service had gotten nothing but good reviews so I took the number and was looking forward to availing of their service.
Other customers may have enjoyed banter with the driver and got information about attractions in Westport. We did not get this. In fact apart from saying 'hello', and telling us what the bill was at the end our driver did not speak to us.
He collected us from Westport and took us to Castlebar. I had my mother with me who is in a wheelchair and he never once offered me assistance helping her in and out of the car or with putting the wheelchair in the booth. I decided to use a different taxi service on the way back. The driver at the other service was a true gentleman, very helpful and was 10 euro cheaper. Don't bother with McGingswho were hugley disappointing. .

After a wonderful evening & meal in The Corkscrew & Pantry in Westport town we took our return journey to Seashore House with McGing’s Taxi firm. Unfortunately we had not asked the cost for the round trip and were shocked to be asked for
€120 for 8 persons in a minibus trip of approximately 6 miles round trip!!
Is this not scandalous? We will not be recommending this company to visitors to Westport. Disgusted!

Mcgings left me stranded in Westport at 3 am after committing to pick me up. I rang them 4 times, each time to be told they were on their way and to wait. After 40 minutes of waiting, they stopped answering the phone. Absolutely disgraceful service and so unprofessional.

What is the cost for two people for day trip around Achill Island
Written 22 February 2020
Hi, I am planning a trip for 4 to Westport in early May. I was wondering the cost of hiring a tour/taxi for a day. Is it a per hour rate? We would like to get out to Connemarra National Park. Thanks for your help!

Hi there
I will be visiting in October wondering if you provide private transport from the town of Westport to the town of Ballinrobe for a few hours and back to Westport? There will be between six and 10 people .
Thanks so much for your time.
