Simple answer, install Datamaster. All you need in one easy package. approx £3k initial outlay and small monthly amount thereafter. (easily recouped from radio fees). You won't regret it.

I have trackers installed in my cars. The company that supply them is Simplytrak. You can buy them outright or lease them.

We transport a lot of kids who don't always tell the truth. They often say the taxi didn't turn up or if they want to go for a fag before going to class, they say the taxi was late. It saves us a lot of hassle. Also when punters ring up and say that the taxi hasn't turned up, we can say what time it arrived and what time it left.
