Recommended taxi service

Hi folks, can anyone recommend me a reliable taxi service?
I've tried booking an Uber but can't get the timezone to change out of GMT so I'm not sure what time my taxi will actually turn up. I've therefore decided to call and book one but was hoping you guys may be able to recommend a reliable firm?

I don�t think you can prebook uber or lyft, u just book it when u want one and then you will get a time when the driver will arrive, mears have a rank at the airport no need to prebook as there�s a decent enough supply so no long to wait

You can pre book uber now, it just says GMT time though and I don't want to book it and it turns up 5 hours early

There is a 5 hour time difference so its easy enough to work out but you won't know right now if your flight will be early or late on the day so maybe its better left 'til later.

Book it at the airport when you get your bags. They hang around airport access roads.

There�s no need really unless you are arriving super early or super late. If you do a dmmy booking there�s always plenty of Ubers near the airport.
