A company called Taxiquoter rang me today trying to flog work. Anyone had any experiences good or bad?

Thanks for that. I was also wondering about the legality of such companies. Should they not have an operators licence?

In that case they could only give work to companies from the same council. Correct?

One more thing to add. Not once did they ask about licenses/insurance/CRB, when I queried this they said that wasn't their responsibility.

If you go onto their site you can check to see if your firms number is advertised there.

Mine is, and I've given it a five star rating!
