If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

I wouldn't worry about the age requirement.When they realise all the small wheelchair vans can be kept until they are 15 years old they'll change their tune.Uber made exceptions in the past for older taxis mostly because they didn't have enough new guys signing up.

It's the lads in the older vehicles that can easily afford to give the discounts that they're so fond of.The Private hire lads in the UK don't like Bolts rates.Some of the work is discounted more than Ubers.

So serious question...how many of yis are prepared to offer discounts if it means taking the work off Freenow possibly while paying a lower commission?

I know we have some former hacks on here who love discounts.Has business gotten so bad that we're ready to discount again?

It's a discount app in the Uk.They're partly owned by Uber. As soon as they get some traction they'll make sure the current discounts are carried by the driver.Freenow are gonna be doing the same so it's a difficult issue to avoid.

Sign up to them all and turn off the ones with the shittiest offer.That's the only way to play it but ultimately they'll push the fare prices down.

Did I read somewhere the Max discount per fare was 7 euro ?Try telling the customer the 50% didcount is not a 50% discount when they are full of Coke or Cider .
