Customer service or abject slavery, eh?

Rental £300
Fuel £150

Total £450

On a good week you'd expect to make £900 - 150 fares at average £6.

So, how do you fund sick pay, pension, holiday pay, National Insurance and Income tax?

Or, are we all doing 200 fares a week, 1200 showing the extra demand no one is admitting to?

tell you what jim get another job eh?? you came it this game knowing that you dont get any sick pay, pension, holiday pay and you had to sort out your own National Insurance and Income tax

people out there are getting paid off when things were good no one said Booooo we are all having to take a bit of hurt right now put a few extra hours in why not get a drive with a radio company give you a chance of more work :wink:

only way to stop this guy charging that for a street car is to ignore it and he will have to drop it my mate pays a lot less for a street car rental. not all owners are bar stewards.

I was driving 450 and it was on an exclusive at the door 24/7 was a wee bit cheaper than that at the time and I was making wages I dont see what the problem is maybe its a tad over what the rental should be now as it is pretty quiet but the guy is probably negotiable on the price.Why would it be expensive at that anyway with all our unmet demand in edinburgh :roll:

Deary Deary me :roll:

They dont anymore Mr Num Skull got me own cab work me own hours when the demand is there.. :wink:

You'll pay up to £230/£250 (Merc) in London which has no cap on the amount of Taxis that can be plated. I guess it depends what condition the TX1 is in. My TX2 is mint, I'd be looking at £225 a week if (which I won't) it were rented out.

Rentals go up, against a backdrop of falling customer numbers and £300 big ones isn't a problem? You lot need help.
