Reverse Auction Taxi Fares

bordercars

This site does reverse auction and also buy it now at more often than not half price fares.
I am a cab driver and registered but please note it is not a referal, i am just making fellow MSE members aware.
The idea is as a driver i put on the empty journey i would make to say Gatwick from my home town, i am already being paid to bring my client back so i wish to sell the empty leg, whatever i get for it is a bonus, bearing in mind i would be at risk on insurance so would not do the job for free, i normally say half fare, some drivers put there job in as a reverse auction, and as a passenger you can set a price and let drivers bid for your work.
Most jobs are for the next few days and they end 24 hours before the journey will commence, hence the reason for placing here, sorry if it's in the wrong place and i hope im not breaking the rules, if so please dont neg me just report for it to be removed.

Below is a cutting from there site

"LastMinuteCabs.com - LastMinuteCabs.com utilises 'empty' taxis mainland UK; to offer lower fares via online reverse auction to airports, cities and docks. By promoting full use of taxis both ways on journeys, we help reduce congestion and pollution."

Same as "backloading" in haulage where a return load is found which is usually at a lower rate but tends to cover the costs of the fuel for the whole round trip.
