Have you guys had a puker in your motor? What did you do to deal with both punter and car? Also any other soiled incidents and your dealings thanks. Just prepping up as no doubt it will come. |

Just prepping up as no doubt it will come. If they say they are not going to be sick, they are and do, so don't pick them up. If they are chuck them out when they do, don't go any further. Go to the petrol station and jet wash what you can out. |

Only had 2 pukers in 4 years. Got what cash I could off them, seat covers in the bin and crack on. Think I had about 20 quid each time as invariably puking occurs at tbe end of a night when punters got no cash Left. I've had a a few close calls where they've had the decency (lol) that thyre gonna spew in advance, giving me time to pull over. |

Just prepping up as no doubt it will come. Oh and the mates men/women who ask you to take home the worse for wear person - and swear to you that their mate NEVER pukes.......is a no,no. They will plead with you and swear on anyones grave that they will not puke in your car/cab, and of course they have the money if the worst does happen. In that case if they have the money..........then pay up front! With the promise of it back if they do manage to swallow it. The BS merchants will soon walk.......or stagger on. |

You can refuse anyone for any legitimate reason and being in a state where you think they will puke is a legitimate reason. My rule is quite simple, if they need help walking to the car, they are to drunk and they don't get in. Another thing, if you are picking up punters, especially all male, and the fare is more than say £10.00 always, and I mean always, ask for money up front. If they object you tell them it is company policy. if they still object you don't take them because they are the ones who will do a runner. |

I find kids a much bigger problem, parents who really don't give a hoots about their little darlings putting their tiny feet on my seats, when its [edited by admin] down and holding a baby bottle with black currant lucozade. |

Not really sure of the jet washing the interior of my motor and not getting it dry for days. So the spill kit may be a better option. Do you have a link to him or his site please mate. |

As Nessa would say from "Gavin & Stacey", "If the truth be known"!..... When they puke, take a trip to your local service station that has a vacuum hoover.....by god it don't half slurp it up  - works a treat
