Taxi Driver Online

so i am now licensed and plated in york as a private hire working for one of the big private hire firms i live in harrogate if i get an operators license in york from my mothers address is there anything to stop me advertising a harrogate number so i can work near home in harrogate as well as york

your MOTHER would need the Ops licence as you arent on the electoral register

probably

(the issue is with a residential property used for a base, and the LA might notice she hasnt got a vehicle...)

why not plate HC for York?

because hackneys are restricted in york you can buy one for a mere 50000 pounds

so why not go PH in Harrogate?

because your car has to be under 5 years old my beautiful mercedes e class is 7 years old

you could get your own PH ops licence at home in York and advertise your services in Harrogate but are the phone codes different?

an 0800 on divert could do it...to your mobile

and wait at mums

the york code is 01904 the harrogate code is 01423 i thought about an 0800 number

on our ops licence application we have to list the vehicles working through it, and its £40/yr per car, max of 2 from a residential address

not cheap, so keep calls short...lol

Orange used to offer a geographical (land line looking) number

adverts in Harrogate papers could use mobile numbers i suppose

and email enquiries can come straight from your website to your smartphone

ideally i would love to live and work in harrogate but the difference between my car and a mercedes under 5 years old is about 9000 pounds wherever i have been a taxi driver i have always done quite well on my own because of the mercedes people use you because of the car and obviously my charming personality

its all a joke

you could run a P reg smiley transit 12 seater on an O-licence and d1 licence and go wherever you wanted to work

this is what annoys me the different rules at all these councils i personally cant wait for the outcome of the reforms in the laws regarding taxis and private hire then at least we will all know where we stand

dont hold your breath

as usual anything to do with the law takes forever

they are more than likely to not rock the boat, they wont go through parliament to repeal two acts and create a new one
