Taxi Driver Online

Nice to see another one who thinks that the only expenses of running a car is the cost of fuel. I hate to think what the HP or lease cost of a 7 series is likely to be.

I'd suggest there's probably another £45 a day standing charges and overheads associated with that car, so that brings the £165 down to about £120, for 7, no, call it 8 hours hard slog on the motorway. Oops, plus congestion charge, parking fees in Lundun. Lucky if the chauffeur gets £80 for his trouble!

No its not another one of those...within the time period we are speaking the standing costs remain constant....you still pay the £45 standing charge etc whether you work or not. I have to be honest I would find it hard, if not impossible to earn £240 in 6 or even 8 hours.This is £30 per hour? More likely at the moment on the streets its closer to £5 hour!

so how come he needed to use a blagged/generic photo of one of t'interweb?

if you had one of your own wouldnt you take pics of it?

he probably means a 733i from 20 years ago like i used to have....

Our registered address is also our accountants. That is the way many limited companys have it. There is a difference between registered address and operating address usually.

Grandad,

Yep, agreed the standing costs are there every day, but like I said, the £260 "earnt" soon whittles awaaaaaaaaay when you take off the forgotten bits.

Maybe someone should check with the chauffeur company's LO to see what they've got.

anyway, there's probably a niche market for such vehicles, like there is for my fleet of old London buses for weddings at about £600 a day!

in york there is no such plate number as 0020 private hire plates start at 300 i think a call to licensing is in order

Think it's PHO(Private Hire Operator) 020

Don't ring yet. I think that the number is the operator number and not the plate number.

just an up date to further research done the plates are genuine plate 0020 is registered in selby and the owner lives in tadcaster which comes under selby he has executive plates which are normal number plates with one line at the bottom saying plate number 0020 selby district council the only thing he is doing wrong is advertising a york number tadcaster numbers start 01937

You do not need any licence to run a chauffeur company.

You do not need to licence the vehicles.

You do not need to licence the chauffeurs.

This company have a fleet of approx 80 vehicles and have non of the above. http://pcslimited.org/

Maybe anyone getting into the business needs to operate from with Halton Borough Council's area.

Maybe a phone call to the licencing officer?

Already been done, they have known about the situation for months.
