You have convinced yourself to become a minicab driver as you seem to be sure that you can earn up to 3000 euros per month, considering the fact that you want to outperform your competitors. For that, you will need a car that will be your career. While Most of the SKODA taxis are same in Fulham, we will put some important key factors that you need to look in a car before making it a minicab or taxi.
Five Doors
This is essential as your passengers want convenience and they would not like to sit if they see a 2 door car. Having a mobility to get in and out easily should be your choice.
Space for Passengers
The car you should be choosing must provide enough space to sit comfortably without getting stuffed. Look for a vehicle that has a generous interior space where you can move your legs easily.
Boot Space
The heading speaks for itself. Consider this: You have picked up a passenger from Stansted and driving him to Fulham in your car and your passenger is stuck with the items that should have been in a boot space rather than on the legroom. He will probably abuse you and won’t ever try to call you at all. A boot space provides enough space to include passenger’s items and survival kit (first aid, fire extinguisher and antifreeze).
Fuel Efficiency
Choosing a car that has low emissions and is fuel efficient is a smart move. It is cost effective and as well as you won’t need to fill up your fuel tank every half an hour.
Maintenance
If you are going to buy a used car, be sure to consider the fact that how much maintaining the used vehicle will cost you? If the maintenance cost exceeds the cost of a new vehicle then a smart move would be buying a new car. A used car in excellent condition is always a good decision.
