Taxi Driver Online

Hi,I wish to know if i can buy myself radio to work for a taxi company instead of renting it from them.
Is that possible??
I`m starting as a PH driver self-employed,just wondering if it is possible to do that,if so would anybody know which kind of radio and how much???
Many thanks....Marek

I'm sure any of them would sell you a radio if the price was right.
Doesn't mean you would get any work off it though.
It's the work you pay for, not the equipment.

Hi mareknovak,
I can sell you one for £91,000 if your interested. Comes with work

Not if he can listen in, and get to the jobs before the regular drivers.

Then all he needs is a scanner That's if any offices are still using voice radio........

Anything is possible, but I can't see why a PH firm would want to sell you a radio, and I'm even less sure why you would want to buy one.

The firm will rent you one for a fee.

I think you might be getting a bit confused. The term radio-rent is widely used in the taxi industry to describe what you pay a company in return for them providing you with the work. The cost of a second hand radio might be about £50 but having your own radio doesn’t mean you then get any discount on your "radio rent".

I suppose a case could be made for new start up firms to encourage drivers to buy their own radios, to help off-set the initial costs, but the firm will still need weekly money from drivers to pay the other bills.
