Taxi Driver Online

is there anyone on this forum who drives a hackney taxi in the liverpool area as my wifes family are there an we want to move up the so I was just wondering if anyone new how the trade was down there an if its worth me buying a hackney taxi there
Thank you

Its not as busy as Aylesbury

well it must be because look at the size of aylesbury an then liverpool big difference, a friend told me to do private hire as there is good work but I don't like the private hire trade I preferre the hackney even thou I have to buy a liverpool hackney plate,
But now down here aylesbury the trade is going slow as there are too many private hire so not enough work to go around,

By you have a handful of licensed taxis, they have over 1500.

However if you want to buy a Liverpool plate I suspect there will be many willing to sell.

I think I read somewhere that there were quite a few private hire vehicles in Liverpool.

How many hackneys in Aylesbury and how many in Liverpool Are they 80000 pounds a pop in Liverpool like they are in Aylesbury

I dont think there that much.......however, you'd have to pass a street knowledge test.

It's as busy as anywhere at the moment. I haven't seen any advertising forsale on the vehicles but I have noticed a few collars for rent

I've been researching liverpool hackneys for quite a wile an on the 2007 plate value database I found out that the value is 50k
If its worth me buying one I will but its quite a gamble as I don't no the area wwell, history of the trade or the average takings.

When you've passed your knowledge test for Liverpool why not rent until you're sure that's what you want to do

how much is it to rent?
I'm going to go down next month as I have a badge as I always fort of moving as we have a lot of family there
next month I'm going to drive there too see how work is there
Thanks for telling me about the renting

Good luck when you're there and don't forget not to rip the people of the Wirral off when they ask you to go through the tunnel it's only 2 miles long
