I suspect in many area the price is much the same, but I'm told that plates prices in Liverpool have dropped significantly.

I would imagine if a restricted area is mobbed out with the likes of Uber then plates prices will drop.

But let's face it plate prices are all in the mind anyway.

I think a few people might be able to show you a bank balance that says otherwise But I'm surprised they have held up anywhere because as a rule taxi and PH numbers are on the rise and trade is slowly going down with cheaper and cheaper prices in many areas depressing earnings

TT you know as well as I do unemployed people don't take up cab driving it is migrants,asylum seekers and jailbirds from other EU countries mostly

5 years ago when entered the trade cabs exchanging hands for around 60-70k then a muppet went and sold his for a Low 35k now as PH prices have gone up from £3 anywhere in town to min £3.50-4.50 depending on where you go work has picked up a little in the hack world, not booming id say but still better than before.
Last year we had our survey done and when the results where published a few cabs sold for around 30-35k.
How is work like elsewhere?
And what's peoples opinion on the future of the cab trade?
You think I should just grab that 30-35k and run or stay and hope for better days ?

How can you sell something that isn't yours?

You don't sell the plate.

For sale, 10 year old mondeo. £35k includes 'free' hackney plate.

£35k for car and plate?

well we have no restrictions on any plates and no WAV requirement

HOWEVER a base here is renting out 2010 Octavias with a plate for £15,000 a year

so in 10 years thats £150,000

beat that fecker

Are they all as daft as you round your way

Just because you are issued a different license number does not mean there is not a value attached to that license when transferring to another proprietor.
