Finding a good job is difficult enough, and then many people with a driver's license decide to go to work in a taxi. Some taxi services provide their own transport, in some cases it has to be rented. Should you just work in a taxi in your car?
What are the pros of using your car
In general, the only plus of using your own car is that working in a taxi turns not into work, but into "hack", in which a person will not be responsible for someone else's car and will not be forced to earn the Nth amount in order to cover the cost of the daily vehicle rental.
In other words, the plus is that a person is free, at any time convenient for himself, sits at the wheel of his own and familiar car and uses a taxi job as a source of additional income.
What are the cons
Now it's worth talking about the cons, of which there are many more. Among the many points, the following can be highlighted:
- You will have to work, even for yourself, even in bad weather.
- Not every order is a journey from one house to another. There are those who need to get out of the city or into the courtyard that the landscaping service has not yet reached. And such routes greatly affect the technical condition of a personal vehicle.
- Again, it is not known who the client is. Usually these are adequate people, but a taxi driver can pick someone up from a disco, and then many scenarios are possible - from a “marked” passenger seat to an attack on the driver.
- Another important point is that the car will not get better over the years. With each new year, she will need more expensive repairs and diagnostics, if you do not follow her from the very beginning. Nobody will reimburse the expenses for personal transport, in contrast to the one provided by the company or the rental service.
- Do not forget about pressing problems, such as the rise in gasoline prices. If we take the rise in fuel prices, the need for repairs, then on average a person earns 300 rubles per 100 kilometers.
- Rates in most taxi services (if they are not elite) are small, regardless of the city.
- Another urgent problem is the pursuit of the self-employed by the tax authorities. If a person taxes without documenting it, he can be fined. Therefore, you need to buy a license or deduct a certain amount to the tax authorities.
Also, do not forget that a person working in a taxi must have nerves of iron. This is connected, again, with the contingent that comes across taxi drivers at the end of the working day or at night.
Taxi service situation
Long gone are the days when earning money in a taxi on your own car brought quite a good income. Today people, not having enough lucrative jobs, use cars to work in taxis. Because of this, the competition in all services of one city is very strong, and there are more and more taxi companies.
Conclusion
It can be seen that there are much fewer minuses than pluses, but it's still worth taxing on your car. But this should be done in the event that the car eats less money on fuel and repairs than a person earns. That is, you do not need to work at a loss.
Taxis are also a great way to stay out of debt and stay afloat while looking for a new job. And if you use this method of earning as an additional one, you can write off a larger number of disadvantages.
