He'll need an operators licence and a telecom one as well iirc, he's not entitled to mention the word Taxi in any advert he may place, I suspect he's done it out of ignorance rather than malice, he will go skint, or if he doesn't he'll be one busy boy taking £150pd and using £110pd worth of fuel, personally I've lived a price war for the last 18 years and it does nobody any favours at all, all you end up with is a miserable driver who begrudges the cheap fare, dirty car, hammered car, and just keeping eveyone else a bit wealthier, if thats a 15 mile trip for £5 he's offering, that'd be £25 on my meter, 15 miles there, 15 miles back, one gallon of fuel @ £4.70p, 30p per trip less the car costs, £&*)er.
In Scotland the operators licence is the plate.
No fixed base required and no radio licence if using a mobile phone.
Vehicle must not carry any signage suggesting it is available for hire (except what is issued by the LA).
Your right about the word
taxi and as I said earlier, I think he'll spend a lot of time working and making b*gger all for his trouble.
Thanks for the clarification M8, it seems a good common sense set up for an indie.
