passing a customer over to another operator (where the customer then does the booking direct) isnt cross border hiring as the public has the right to book any vehicle from anywhere...........unless you know different

Is it legal to pass work across borders? :?:


only if an operator in one LA does the booking, not when the punter does it

My best guess is that the firms who are offering these PH firms bookings for airport runs aint licensed.

They are therefore IMO accepting a PH booking without a license, which is obviously illegal.

If they are licensed, they they cannot sub contract that booking across borders, unless they are based in London.

Perhaps they are another of the ever increasing 'booking agents' who appear not to need a licence
