if you pass the background checks you will get your badge,but right now theres a very long waiting list.up to 6 months to process your application,
once your all official you just approach any private hire company you choose and ask them for a radio,there are loads of p/h companies in glasgow,some good,some very bad,
there are no courses cos private hire dont have to sit any kind of test,hell you dont even have to speak english,
just part with your dosh and thats it.
i wish you well but be warned its not the cash cow its portrayed as,its long hard hours for little reward and the public think they own you
and treat you like keech but theres always the occaisional day when you think this is the best job in the world,but there few and far between.but like every job its what you make it
good luck
Cheers mate I know it's no a cash cow just need something I can do on my own terms .
I'm in maryhill area so a few companies about here . Any idea of how much a car and radio hire would be ? Il be putting a form in asap cheers
radios circa £135 per week ,cars around £165
these are rough guides,and not every firm offer cars for rent,usually all the bigger firms do as they make alot more money renting out cars,smaller outfits usually dont have the resources to buy cars in bulk like the big boys,drive out to gph on edinburgh rd and see how many cars are sitting outside,these are all waiting for renters,same at network and hampden
