Taxi Driver Online

Like rental for the cars and radio rents each week, do you have the car full time or do you share with a night driver?

I'll start off, round our way it's £265 full rent and £170 if you share a car with another driver.

i own the tourneo, no HP

no radio

£1100 a year insurance

badge+plate

24/7 rental for a PH is between £180 and £250 a week, plus office dues.

24/7 rental for a hackney is about £500 a week, plus office dues. Days for a hackney is around the £200 and £250 a week, for nights around £300 and £350 a week.

Absolutely nothing zilch

Those who are paying could be paying nothing if they used there heads, or vastly reduce the rentals
Just all refuse to work until the extortionists reduce the rent

surely if its yours 24/7 at £265 you can put your own driver in it when yr not working at no extra?

Jesus that's some coin each week.

That's gotta be a restricted area

how much are "office dues" and i take it vehicle insurance is included?

Not sure if that question was addressed to me, but office dues down here range from £100-£120 a week. Depending on which robbing b****** circuit you work with.

well you posted the rental fees "plus office dues" post, so a HC with a radio rent is £650 a week?

so the first £1000 a week makes the driver nothing?

yeah, like i would

It's one way of making sure you don't owe anything to the tax man.

Grandad,

Most 24/7 hackney rentals are driven by non circuit drivers. But if they were on a circuit then that's about right.

In fact a mate of mine was on a circuit, other than the one I work with, and his PH was off the road for a few weeks but the kindly folks at the firm he works with offered him a TX2 for £620 a week.

Needless to say he declined their offer.

Nothing on my very sexy 407 zenith which I love until February then I'll love another one but here you will pay about £70.00 for PH if petrol £80.00 if diesel. I think the HC is about £185.00 24/7. Then there is radio settle to be paid for them that don't even advertise we exist @ £85.00 if you are PH and £60.00 if HC working the PH system
