The arrival time I had booked for them to come from my hotel to pick me up to the airport, while it said the total duration would be 4 hours, it ended up taking 5.30 hours and the driver barely spoke any English to communicate.

The trip went very well. Unfortunately, we were cold, there was no way to close the window, and the seats were uncomfortable.

I lost an important document and needed an urgent transfer to Cairo. Unfortunately, the taxi arrived 2 hours and 30 minutes late. I have reason to believe they confirmed my booking without actually preparing a car for us. This delay made it impossible to sleep and jeopardized my vital document appointments. When I called the support numbers on my boarding pass 20 minutes after the scheduled time, one person denied help and claimed he wasn't involved with the company. Luckily, a third number I tried was helpful and arranged a new taxi. Though the wait was long, the car was very comfortable and our driver, Walid, was kind. He did his best to get us to our destination as early as possible.
