Which taxi company with the least or no deposit for relief ?
-
Hi,
I have stopped driving taxi part-time for almost 2 years already but before that I have done this for the past 13 years. I taken back my deposit with Comfort.
Can anyone tell me which company offer the least or no deposit for relief driver because I want to start driving taxi part-time again. Every Monday and Wednesday nights only.
Thank you for your attention... :)

When you said 1st installment you mean how many more times must I pay after that...
-
Another 3 more instalments, total of 4 instalments = $1000...

Got lar ... Beach Road taxi kiosk at AMK .
Rental for Crown more expensive than a Comfort Crown .
One taxi average $5 more .
Then diesel have to pump at Esso .
Go do your math about Esso's diesel .
Do you have $300 at least ?
Then for long term , pay deposit to taxi company .
Same lor , when u quit , money still come back to you .
Invincible saving .

Appreciate very much for the advice... if you do not mind, what is your opinion on the best option for a relief driver who do not mind driving a cab without getting any calls but prefer to get passengers on the road side...
I mean the company I should opt for driving as a relief on part-time basis ?
Just to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to you Mr Poolman for upkeeping this section ... Your passion rocks brother... :)

Cheapest.... normally the smallest taxi company around... call only thru your walky or hp...

As you leave yourself with limited options (ie, want to drive on Mon and Wed nights only), you'd be better to stay with the biggest group, so your odd of getting suitable hirer is higher.
-
Or you do the othery way around, find a hirer first, then join to be relief for his taxi company.
Don't worry too much about the initial deposit. Worse come to worst, open an IOU account with unker Pool. :)

Mostly, these beach or AMK drivers including me are freelance in all kind of trade, taxis being one of it, we therefore cannot get a permanent relief job because we cannot promise the hirer that we might throw key one week later due to better contract job offered. Another tiype are those get boots out by cab companies, debt ridden, cannot or do not want to get a permanent job, be it working class, hirer or relief. Mostly offered are crowns, check before drive.

Appreciate the info for this and it is very convenient for me to approach them because I am staying in AMK.
When you said "check before drive".. can you tell me, if you don't mind, what is it I need to check ? :)

As for private crowns .... one day rental extra $5 .... diesel pumped at normal petrol kisok another perhaps $10 gone ( differences i guess ) .
In a month ...... $450
-
Normally , it's those Crowns taxis that let you drive some other days .
Cos most is OMO .
Dun dream of Wish or Sonata .
Must be really lucky to find one .
Want cheap , want near , no need call ... try TransCab Crown . Their daily rental now as low as $38 per shift .
Then can pump at Defu or Bukit Batok for company's diesels .

Check meaning, look all over the vehicle before drive off, their vehicles are driven by so many drivers, not just a hirer and one relief, so, at anytime, a windscreen cracks or bumper slip or dents is accountable, and that person who drive off is responsible for it, so you need to check, including engine before moving off, any default, report to the in charge, knn, he very lan sai one, alway said can can, taken note, knn, come back that time, he can charge you and all kind of arguement start to fly. Then end up they ban you. So, not only inform that fucker (tao chew), you must try to take photos of any defects with yr handphone if possible, or let someone around there be witness also good.
As I said, these station are all lau guis and banned players, do becareful dealing with them, dun be sway by them -
also can try haig road...
mr ang and his daughter ms ang...
can pm me if need their contact...
