depends on hoe much you are making.

do not forget of course that if you stay with te same operator and e rents out vehicles to drivers then they will get the best work, so getting your own car may mean you have to take a drop in money as well as a drop in outgoings.

Ask the other guys who work for the same operator as you who have their own cars how it works.

Go for it.

Buy a new one from the 'Taxi Centre' or similar, and you will be better off.

Or buy a second-hand motor, and over the year you will be a grand or two better off.

Firms don't rent out cars for love, they do it to make money, so get your own and save yourself a few quid. :wink:
