I've decided to finally join the technological revolution (New Years Resolution). Do I need this if I join MyTaxi? I guess sumup charges 2.75% commissioin versus MyTaxi's 12%?

If you are not already with Mytaxi .I will recommend you and when I get the bobo for recommending you Ill give it to you better than walking in the door yourself that way you get nothing .
-
You need both. However, I think mytaxi ambassadors get a free sump terminal with 0% commission on street jobs in return for plastering their cars with logos and keeping a supply of Ferrero Rochers and Prosecco (council house Champagne) on board. Given that you drive a clapped out piece of shit the logos would, arguably, improve it's appearance.

Careful now,Ken will be on to take you up on that disparaging but possibly true remark,he was quick to take me to task for calling Ermys Clondalkin a crime riddled hell hole!!
-
Maybe I shoulda said increase it's value rather than improve it's appearance. Probably just sour grapes on my part anyway as I have to change my car next year just because it's 9 years old but he's allowed keep his despite it having clocked up double or treble the kiloage of mine.
-
It's value was decreased the second any of the required stickers were applied...before any kiloage of note was clocked up.
-
Adding plastic to my shitheap probably does add value to it. In fact, a bit of adhesive plastic tape is holding my indicator bulb section onto the car. Meant ot go upto the breakers yard at the back of the airport but it went on fire ::fds
Part of my motivation for joining MyTaxi is the 'grass is greener over there' cliche. I'm doing alright (just about) and have done so (just about) for the past decade. Even though my 11 yr old, 400k, Octavia is valid for another 4 years I want to get a new (to me) car this year. I don't want to be in the car when it finally explodes :) So any extra pennies would be welcome. I'd like to think I get a job every 30-40mins just driving around on my own but I get the odd window where nothing happens. Maybe MyTaxi will cure that?
Thinking of sumup because I'm getting more and more people asking to pay by card. They used to be apologetic asking but now they're kinda looking at me like I'm the weirdo for not taking plastic cards. It'll also give me an excuse to add another NTA-approved plastic sticker to my roofsign (that I take credit cards).

Some truth in that without doubt. I'm not sure that you'll forget how to work without it or realise that the vast majority of punters have forgotten that taxis can be flagged down without the aid of technology. I mostly work between 7p.m. and midnight, maybe a bit later if I'm working Fri or Sat and I generally only pick up on the north side of Dublin - north of Collins Ave and East of the N2. Without mytaxi that methodology wouldn't be viable so I'd have to go back to working the city or subscribing to C2k. Since mytaxi went full fare it accounts for the vast majority of my work.
Anywaysanall, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Give it a try and see how/if it works for you. The most common complaints from drivers these days are that they feel too reliant on it or dislike having so much of their takings documented.

-
Indeed, covering 36 jobs/week is a piece of piss.
-

-
