Customer Service
When under taking our market research in Q4 2020, Eureka Taxis found that there was very poor customer service being delivered to the customers looking for taxis. This was either a local dispatcher answering the phone that was rude and nasty or a call centre based out of Melbourne that did not know or understand Ballarat
When Eureka Taxis started one of our first orders of business was to change this by setting up our own dispatch and operations centre and employing local people that know Ballarat.
This operations centre is operated 7 days a week between 8AM – 9PM Monday – Thursday and on Friday / Saturday the centre is open between 8AM – 1AM. Outside these hours drivers answer the phone and take bookings
After each shift all our drivers clean both the inside and outside of their vehicles to ensure that the vehicles are clean and tidy for our passengers and ready for the next drivers shift. Gone are the days of getting into a dirty and smelly cab with Eureka Taxis.

Local Dispatchers
When under taking our market research in Q4 2020, Eureka Taxis found that when booking a taxi with one of our competitors they where speaking to an automated system or to a dispatcher based out of Ballarat and that the person answering the phone was eithor very rude or did not know Ballarat

Response from the owner:Afternoon Samantha, I have passed this onto Damo and he says “no probelmo”. Thanks for traveling with Eureka Taxis
Exallent service promp and on time friendly driver
They are really good service higher recommend Eureka taxis
Eureka Taxis are the best. Honest Aussie drivers who actually help you with luggage, they understand customer service and treat women with respect.
The first taxi was late, but I was let know which was appreciated. The pick up came at 11pm. I thought I changed it to 10:45, but I realised I hadn’t. I did try to phone when I got to the venue to check I felt 10:45 would be the go, but couldn’t get through. But both drivers were very nice and helpful with my disability. I would certainly recommend this taxi service.
Fast efficient pick-up. Very courteous driver. Would definitely use this Taxi service again! 👌
I booked for 1.00 and unfortunately you only had one driver on so he was 20 minutes late.
Response from the owner:Hi Jeanne, I am sorry that you where late getting to Ballarat Aquatic & Lifestyle Centre, We are making improvements to ensure that this does not happen again. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will reach out to you via phone tomorrow to discuss further. Matt
I was picked up promptly. Mark was amazing. He was such a character. Will be using Eureka taxis from now on.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the review Yvonne, I will pass your review onto the team. Regards Matthew
Taxi on time. Great friendly service thanks.
On time, great service
Ebony my driver was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Car was clean and comfortable. Booking on phone was easy and even though they had some technical difficulties at the time, they called me to keep me in the loop. Highly recommend, Bridie
I needed to catch a ride to the train station quite early in the morning and decided to book a taxi to take me to the station. The process was simple when I booked it the night before. The operator that took my call was cautious and caring. He asked me what time my train was and advised to give myself a bit more time to get there just in case. I am glad I took the advice so that it wasn’t as rushed. On the day, I received a text to say when they were coming as well as the driver’s name. My taxi driver, Mark, arrived 5 minutes earlier than my booked time and helped me with my luggage bag. He was friendly, chatty and helpful and even offered to swing past maccas if I wanted to.
Thanks for the smooth and professional process, Eureka taxi. If I need a booked ride service in the future again, I will definitely use your company again!

Response from the owner:Hi Stuart, I am thrilled that you enjoyed our service. Loo forward to seeing you in the Taxis again soon. – Matt
25kms and this is how you will be charged.
Driver was good, however we waited almost an hour for the taxi to show up due to short staff. But the amount we had to pay was too much.

Response from the owner:Hi Chen,
First off thank you for leaving a review. This trip was billed correctly as per https://www.etwv.com.au/tariffs/ 1. You requested a maxi taxi which attracts a much higher rate (Tariff 9). 2. There was the fuel levy of $20 as per section 14 of our terms and conditions which covers the ware and tare of the vehicle on the return journey. 3. There was a premium fee as per section 12 of our terms which as per the call recording you where asked if you consented to (which you did). You can read all your terms and conditions here: https://www.etwv.com.au/terms/
Re the time it took for the taxi to arrive, i do apologise as the driver needed to be called in from home, pick up the vehicle, logon and then make their way to your collection point.
Great service and people 👏
Response from the owner:Thanks for the review. hope to see you again soon
Response from the owner:Thanks for the review there Nathan. Have a fantastic day. Matt

Great friendly, prompt, efficient company 10/10
Whenever I have booked a taxi with these guys, they show up on time and the drivers are nice and helpful.
Matt was great today in the horrible weather, super friendly had a great chat and smooth ride
Excellent service once again thanks
Once I found the correct url to book online the booking process went smoothly. There is no online booking link on eurekataxis.com.au, you need to use book.etwv.com.au I was kept informed with text messages of booking and driver assignment and I was able to track the taxi. Jeff arrived on time, car was clean and Jeff was friendly and got me there safely and on time. Overall another excellent service from Eureka Taxis.
Josh the driver was very nice, drove well and was very helpfull. The best taxi service in Ballarat.
Extremely happy with Eureka Taxi Service. The friendly service is miles above others.
Thank you you are still the best taxi service. Clean cars.

Taxis both ways were on time, good and friendly drivers
Eureka Taxis – from the moment the dispatcher takes the call, clients are greeted with a warm, friendly welcoming tone, to where you feel valued, then constantly kept up to date with where the taxi is, estimated time of arrival and who your driver will be. Once in the car the experience is a positive one, over this last week, eureka taxis have been my lifesaver with my husband being in the hospital, the entire fleet of drivers particularly Ebony. Mark. Josh, Matthew and Jeff have been super friendly and know the Ballarat region like the back of their hand, I was able to enjoy a nice conversation with the drivers who came across with a warm, caring approach to even asking how my partner was doing following his medical episode. I would recommend Eureka Taxis to all my family and friends, there needs to be more prompt arrival, welcoming service that Eureka displays and I look forward to travelling with them again in the future. An absolutely delightful organisation and a real asset to the Ballarat community.
Excellent taxi service
Thank you so much. Your service is beyond 5 stars pick up was super quick. I appreciate your fast service
