Just looking for opinions from you more experienced lads.
I started in the taxi game in early 2015 but as I was a new entrant I couldn't buy my own plate.
As such, I had to rent a car and plate at a cost of €220, €110 base fees, €70 per week insurance and about €100 diesel so that meant I had to pay out €500 before I made a penny.....it was soul destroying and after 4 months of working 60 hours per week for €300 take home I called it a day.
I hear things have picked up significantly over the last 12 months so I'm considering getting back into it but dread the thought of renting.
In your experience what are the pros and cons of driving a WAT compared to a saloon and would you say that it would be a better option than renting when taking into account the available grants and the benefits of owning the plate and car?
All opinions abuse and slagging are welcome!
