I'm fortunate to live and work in a rather twee area to be a taxi driver so I'm lucky. I'm also a more mature chap with regard to age :P

The broker told of a quote he did last year for a 21 year old first year with no no claims, in I think it was Rochdale or somewhere similar.

Quote was £9000!!

Amazingly the guy took it according to the broker!!!!!



25 year old here with 1 year badge, £4500, F/C on a 65 plate Passat


More than double your age wannabee :cry: :cry: with a 1 year badge on a 65 plate Galaxy. Nice rural area though.

Actually my mate has managed to secure me a position with delta down south so I'll be relocating the family next month.

He told me a lot of this forum are very jealous of delta because all there drivers make so much money.

Can't wait..haha delta hater!
