I'd honestly be better off on the dole(Warning contains taxi driver rants)

this is looking like the year i give up driving taxis

first off we have the government deciding that i dont get raped enough for my fuel costs and deciding they need to magically jump 20% over the last 12 months.

now my insurance renewal has came in with another 1 years no claims added and a 15% prive hike into the bargain.

sorry but had to vent somewhere having spent the last hour trying and failing to get a cheaper insurance quote and filled up aty £1.29 this morning

Tried first direct?

they guarantee to beat your insurance renewal quote by 10%, worth a shot.

Feeling it about the petrol though.

You post this every single year and have done for years. You never end up quitting.

I think you need to review how you do business, lots of taxi drivers go round in SDI Octavias for a reason.....

My mates a Taxi driver, drives a nearly new X5, bought a brand new Motorhome and also has a Jet Ski for weekends.
He makes most of his money on council contracts, ferrying kids from childrens homes to schools everyday 50 miles away and things like that.
Thing is quite often he turns up, child says he can't be bothered to go today, he still gets paid though as he's contracted.
Have you looked at contacting the council to offer your services?

Well somebody has to...

 

[233]

Chipper already have 2 contracts 1 one education transport and another social work run

Although I do se then looking at alternative arrangements in the future with all the budget cutting etc as they(councils) spend an absolute fortune on taxi services for shuttling little darlings around
