Like rental for the cars and radio rents each week, do you have the car full time or do you share with a night driver?

I'll start off, round our way it's £265 full rent and £170 if you share a car with another driver.

24/7 rental for a PH is between £180 and £250 a week, plus office dues.

24/7 rental for a hackney is about £500 a week, plus office dues. Days for a hackney is around the £200 and £250 a week, for nights around £300 and £350 a week. :shock:

Absolutely nothing zilch :D :D :D

Those who are paying could be paying nothing if they used there heads, or vastly reduce the rentals
Just all refuse to work until the extortionists reduce the rent :D

Not sure if that question was addressed to me, but office dues down here range from £100-£120 a week. Depending on which robbing b****** circuit you work with. :shock:

well you posted the rental fees "plus office dues" post, so a HC with a radio rent is £650 a week?

It's one way of making sure you don't owe anything to the tax man. :mrgreen:

Most 24/7 hackney rentals are driven by non circuit drivers. But if they were on a circuit then that's about right.

In fact a mate of mine was on a circuit, other than the one I work with, and his PH was off the road for a few weeks but the kindly folks at the firm he works with offered him a TX2 for £620 a week.

Needless to say he declined their offer. Image

Nothing on my very sexy 407 zenith which I love until February then I'll love another one :lol: but here you will pay about £70.00 for PH if petrol £80.00 if diesel. I think the HC is about £185.00 24/7. Then there is radio settle to be paid for them that don't even advertise we exist @ £85.00 if you are PH and £60.00 if HC working the PH system :?
