How much does it cost to run a taxi

How long is a piece of string?
There are loads of variables but I guarantee that it is a lot more than you think.

Grandad,

Guarantee it is a lot more expensive than what the authors of the report into the gig economy state.

50 to 70 p a mile is a realistic figure but may 80p plus for newbies with no no claims

I need the exact figures The income & Expenditure of running a taxi.

There are no exact figures. It depends on the type of vehicle, the cost of the vehicle, the depreciation of the vehicle, the MPG, the cost of the licenses, the cost of the insurance, the cost of servicing and repairs, the type of area you work in ie % dead miles to loaded miles. The list goes on and on.

Tell you what, you tell me what my next passenger wants, a trip around the corner or a trip to Heathrow. Be nice if you could let me know if I will wait on the rank for Ten Minutes or Two Hours before they pitch up as well.

Then tell me if I will get a puncture on that job and will it be a repair or a new tyre needed.

Calculate and tell me what fuel I burn sat in the traffic jam on that job - and how much it will cost to replace (be careful fuel prices change twice a day sometimes).

Let me know what my insurance renewal will be while you are at it.

It goes on and on.

Bottom line is, you are asking a bloody foolish and completely unanswerable question.
