just got a offer a few days ago a hackney cab driver from oxford said to me that his thinking of selling his taxi or renting it
He got a 02 lti tx2 bronze with a hackney plate
He said for rent of he wants 5k for the cab an 1200 a month for the plate, I heard work is very good there as a cab driver as I no a few people working down there my question is should I buy an rent the plate as I think its a good bussines plan as no one here is renting or need a driver an milton keynes is very quiet an there's no were else to go an I don't want to drive private hire,
What is the going rent rate at other restricted l.O?

The plate stays with the cab if he sells it to you for 5K the plate is yours as the cab would have to be licenced in your name because plates cannot be sold on there own, so you could save 1200 a month
Get in touch with the licencing there and they will tell you what to do

No it's all in when you rent.

So I will rent 10 on a 24/7 basis and then sub rent them at £250 and £350 and make myself £1,000 a week for doing nothing. :mrgreen:

A renter will pay the £500 (average) and fuel, the owner will pay the rest via his Liechtenstein bank account.

everything will be on my name its just because the plates are restricted an I said ill buy the vehicle so insead of doing 50/50 ill give you rent for the plate insead of buying the plate as it costs too much,
Every thing I have to pay for an end of each month ill pay his rent, I got some one that wants to drive nights for me on a 50/50 basis so the taxi will be running all day an night an earnings will be good aswell.

Go on Skippy, tell us all how the guy will own the license plate if he buys the taxi.

What law allows this?

This should be worth it's weight in gold.

We're all ea.... I mean eyes.
