Taxi Driver Online

I have been pestered by a company called Taxiquoter, they say that for £250.00 i can have more work than i can handle...id be guranteed to make the £ 250.00 fees back within a fortnight from all the extra work theyed be sending my way. now heres the Rub, ive tested out their Taxiquoter site and put in a Spurious Quote question...A run from Newcastle to Near Berwick, A round trip distance of around 120 miles.. Taxiquoters Best quoted price was around £75.00....very cheap i thought. the odd thing was the Taxi was going to be from a Keswick, Cumbria company who would need to do a round trip of around 250 miles..no way for 75 quid..

they even quoted a Manchester based Company as offering a price of £116.00 for the same run.

Anyone had any dealings with these people..are they Hooky or just Naive??

The company or whoever it is may be registered in those areas but who knows where the hackney carriage vehicle might be? It could even be possible but highly unlikely that the Keswick firm is registered in Keswick but has the bulk of its private hire drivers operating legally out of Newcastle.

In reality I am as mystified as you at the low quotes and the location of the companies but if they are correct then there may well be a plausible explanation.

I might say gentlemen, someone's doing a very good job advertising this outfit.

Is it the general consensus that this outfit is not fit for purpose and should be avoided at all costs?

It might just be a way of filling your car or taxi on a long lonely journey home... Oh and getting paid as well... not a lot.... But more than being empty

If they are pestering you then they ain't worth a toss, as if they were then you would be pestering them.

Keep hold of your money.

Simple really.... if you take a person from A to B... and it's a long job... and they can supply you with a Return Job you're laughing.... even if you only get half of what you would normally charge.... the job back is all profit
