So what they on about the punter doing it for if it's being passed from one PH to another :?


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.

what firms?

I had a booking but NOT from any "booking agent", simply a "quote me" site, the PUNTER contacted me DIRECT, dont cloud the issue, i get paid/booked by the punter direct, not through any 3rd party.

if ive a booking i need to get covered ill tell the punter to contact the other PH if they are outside my LA........

they have ranks, PH has t'web, phones, emails, sms..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

toots....passing of bookings from one PH to another across a border is illegal.
