Great point Kaiser. Yes the rentals are too high.

Oh yeah Kaiser all you pay to keep your taxi on the road after you've paid your loan, is zero. You need a driver just to keep the business pretense going, how long would last if the driver had unfettered access to his own plate and how much would your "£46,000" plate be worth, then? Oh and how much, have you lost on the plate since you bought it, they tell me, they are selling for around 30K, that's if you can find a buyer.
I'm saddened to some extent that you have proved just how uneducated you are skull, after all the bravado of the points you have been making. To suggest that my running costs are zero proves just why you blew your money and business, Nill business acumen Skull. There's the payment on the taxi, insurance, repairs, servicing, accountants fees, council fees for licensing, council fees for the yearly cab test. When you start adding up the costs and the time and effort it takes to make sure that the Taxi is top class working order not only to provide a safe working tool for myself, but more importantly for the Drivers who wish to rent it and of course the customer. You see skull when the driver comes to start his shift he turns the key and expects it work, continue doing so for the length of his shift and then drops it off again, end of job for him. Ne worries of getting something fixed etc. I'm sure you will agree now Skull that it is a business Nd that the Drivers are getting real value for money, after all they are getting to drive an expensive piece of equipment that just so happens to be my biggest Asset.
Tell me Skull (J D Cockerfeller) Thomson, why did you not just give your plate back to the council for nothing when you had had enough of the Taxi Trade? after all you were given it for nothing. I'll answer that for you, because it would have been bad business!! You took advantage!

I was being sarcastic, like you didn't know.
You and I both know you will never answer the questions which prove you have a pretendy business man status.
So come on Kaiser, tell everyone where the 46K plate "value" comes from or should I say, less than 30K because that's all it's worth now, that's if you can find a buyer?

Oh and I feel I should mention that your taxi is a depreciating asset, which without a driver to keep you afloat, would be next to worthless in a few years.

That's if, you could keep it on the road driving it yourself and paying for a radio circuit.
