I'm looking for atleast £150 for the 2 days.

There would also be a bond in place to.


What time can the cab be picked up on Friday and what time on Sunday does it have to be returned?

Regards

JD

I can be picked up around 4.30pm Friday and given back (ideally) when the shift is finished on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

I know some lads are charging "half bag" on Saturday nights and therefore if £300 in taken on Saturdays they're coming out with £150 just for renting their taxis out on Saturdays alone, so I think £150+ is certainly in the right ball park.

Have you put up posters in the local firm's offices?

Or got in touch with the folks who do the licensing schools? :?

Is there a thread that doesn’t touch on restricted numbers and associated costs at some point?

However I'll wait and see.

Tempted? :wink:

Would you not make more by renting it out as a full night shift car!

I also think the £300 takings for a sat is a bit much as the driver may fall asleep :shock: and write the car off!!

Hi grandad

I was using the caravelle myself to pick the kids up from school - it's only 10 minutes away so I could mange that before my back started to kick in....so the driver has got a badge :)

By the way the taxis gone already - I've got a mate whos taken it.

Cheers anyway
Chris
