Have booked my practical driving test for Taxi in Milton Keynes as examiner is not available in my Wellingborough my home town lets hope it goes well :D

Can some body explain how Private Hire Taxi works I mean if the taxi firm pay for fuel and insurance and supply vehicle and require 60% of earnings. Will i need to put in fuel out of my own pocket and keep the receipt and then the firm will refund me the money back? Will i have to carry my own change ? Will i have to keep account of all the fares my self as well or will the taxi firm have it all logged how much i have made?

Thank you

And if you ask nicely, they may even have someone come round and wipe your arse.

Rather uncouth Gramps heres a person trying to obtain gainful employment and just maybe he might become a good professional Driver :D for sure he needs some help in thw terminology and methods of operation within the industry, had he been London based i might have attempted to assist but he is a carrot cruncher so surely ONE of you could do the decent thing ?

You will pay for the fuel out of the 60%. So when you pay in you will pay part cash, and part receipt for the fuel.

As for how keeps account of jobs, different firms have different rules. I suspect they will tell you when you start.

the fuel comes out the base 60% (and all other expenses) the driver gets all the 40% of the shifts takings, account tickets count as cash in with the 60%

until the cash doesnt cover the 40%....then the base has to make it up

So to earn £400 you have to take £1,000.

Good luck with that one.

It will work out a hell of a lot cheaper to plate your own car.
