It's hard to tie any other work in with those sort of jobs.Multiseater vans are thin on the ground at all hours due to their expense.You'd probably need to be paying well over the metered fare to get anyone to cover it.

Stick it up fer 180, that's 30 a head and you might get a bite ?
The late night pick-up's are usually a disaster getting them out of the bar.

I had a Opel Zaphira 7 seater as a private car when me 5 kids were nippers and you would want to be real small to be sitting in the 2 very back seats.
If you were driving one as a Taxi, then then you would need to be hand picking which customers go in the back 2 seats, because no way would a tall or obese person fit in them.
