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
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.
