Taxi Driver Online

Hi I am just about to start driving a private hire car and was wondering how much float would I need at the start of the day also how many miles do you drive in a year someone told me if you aren't doing 30k per year you are not working hard enough is this true . Thanks in advance

whatever the advisors tell you half it an spit on it

good advise will come from driver who friend you an have nothing to prove

take £20 coin and £20 fiver out with you it see you ok for 3 jobs then you get change if need be later from other driver

30k for ph is either boarder ok or quality office where fare is realistic so you no have to do 60k to earn £15k

You probably will TAKE £30k a year but then lose £15k in expenses

I take a float of £60 out, 4x£5, 32x£1, 20x20p, 10x10p, 6x50p. Most people tend to pay with a tenner regardless of the fare, at the end of the night I go home with hardly any £1 coins and roughly the same amount of fivers - but a pocket full of tens and twentys.

Depends on your area, city, town, rural, on how many miles you do a year. I work rural and do about 30k miles a year, 50% of that is dead miles! No radio circuits here, I run my own car so keep all the "profits" (haha). But as said above, a lot of the "profit" goes back in lease fees, licences, maintenance, fuel, phone bills.... so not very much at the end of the year is actual "profit".

Working for a circuit and having to hire a car every week would see me working longer hours for the same "profit" at the end of the year. Sometimes less is more. Good luck.

I take enough out to change the first £20 note, after that if I ain't got it they ain't getting it
