Thought the company I first worked for when I started minicabbing was high:

£150/week rent (one rate - open shift)
£200/week fully maintained/insured/plated Ford Galaxy (you take it home and can use privately)

and because yer renting their motor you get the best jobs..............then when they find a tiny dent they whack yer for £500.............and when yer go hols they still charge yer rent...........even though yer dont have the motor............then they note the tyres are wearing out and blame you for it and charge yer .........£80 a corner .......all the loot is taken from yer account work ..............oh the joys of mini cabbing in London....................oops left a bit out........you upset em they send yer to pick up a known violent drunk........ and yer get yer nut kicked in..............all regular occurences .................in London PH industry is SHYTTE

F88K EM ALL WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

BOOZE BOOZE BOOZE

Which is why I quickly got my operator's licence and own car, and started to find and doing my own work, rather than paying them £18,200 a year.

The thing is its not a big town, Tamworth is bigger (next LA) and (maybe due to competition) cars and base rents are lower

this guys £155/week when the only other firm in Lichfield (255255 cars) is £80/week with a 3 day £55 (Friday-Sunday all day) rent

(almost half for the week rate)

that £18K to them means taking £25k+ to make it

£270 for a car round here 24X7, add the fuel on top and you've got nearly £400 a week before you earn anything for yourself.

Then they usually throw you a regular school run to "pay" your base rent but nick 20% off the top of that too

No.

maybe not your end, deffo at the two bases i was on

and deffo the one in West brom my mate was on who TOLD him they made £250K on the accounts!

when some councils post winning bids online for all to see its a bit daft to expect to get away with it
