Hi guys, I’d appreciate any opinion on this job role, or anyone that’s maybe done it?  I own my own car , I personally like driving. Does this make a good living  the fees associated with this would be possibly £200 a month insurance, 140 fee to company , and then fuel.

I don’t want to pay for all the licensing and then not make a reasonable amount.

thanks

In a word, No. No money in Private Hire industry anymore. Save your money.
