  • Hi
    May be of use to you Milestone Insurance are very good on taxi insurance
    either ring 0845 271 1831 or go on website www.milestonehouse.com and you can do a quote on that.
    If you ring them though they do have a couple of new schemes which are not yet quoting on their website.

    Hope this is of help to you

    WOW..well done on passing that test..you've got loads done so far.Taxi firms are all only allowed so many cabs on....thats the best way just paying for the rent of the data head/meter.
    good luck sorting it out

    Went in to town today to the busiest taxi firm. As expected they have a waiting list for owner drivers. Was a bit peed off but then I looked at it positively. So I went round to the second busiest who told me to come back when I had my license and cab was plated as they are always taking on.

    The way I see it is I can start with the second company and then when the main company rings me if I am happy where I am and earning good money I can stick where I am, if not I can jump ship with no loss of earnings:p

    Had a barbecue today to celebrate:rotfl: :rotfl: Is this the first BBQ of the year???

    Eye practically better and car driving like a dream too:j

    Well done on the second firm ....enjoy all the barbecues you can as you'll not have time for any when you're out there slogging...LOL...because you've had CRBs before it may not take as long hopefully.
    What's next on the to do list?
