Great job for taking back control of your life

Private Hire Taxi Driver (Former Employee) - Edinburgh - 3 June 2019

Being a driver is great for balancing work/life. You get back out of the job what you put into it. Company charging you 10% of a fare that could have an additional 5% handling charge added is a bit cheeky considering the company is giving away 20% of your income as a promotion

Pros

Flexibility

Cons

Discounts for custs and additional transaction charges from company
