Advise Needed

last SG · 2008-06-12T18:44:51+00:00

Thanks for all the advises...I'm looking at relief first. My preference will be driving CNG + Auto car if possible. Does Comfort/CityCab has CNG and Auto tax...

One more question....how do relief and hirer split the diesiel cost? They normally don't pass u the car with empty tank right :)

Also is Comfort disesel the cheapest ?

ALN SG

CNG? you ask the correct person liao.

If i ever become hirer, definitely either comfort sonata or prime CNG…. other taxi co forget it…

Prime rental is $74 nett.. very solid for a brand new auto car… even more solid is that you get 11K loyalty cash if you stay 5 yrs…..but that is where the good news stop…

Prime deposit is 5K… if you quit before 5 years, deposit gone… but if you tahan 5 years, then you get deposit + 11K loyalty cash back

CNG tank can last only 170km (one shift needs at least 350km)... so if you drive a lot, then expect to q and top up at least 2 times a day… so depends on where you stay

Accident exccess is huge for prime… about 2.5K + 1.5K max… comfort is 1K + 1K max

for hirer, just pay rental, diesel/CNG, accident excess, carpark, ERP… that all

think carefully…..my advice…. Prime is for long term… newbie better dont commit first…. another thing is dun know whether prime will bankrupt after 5 years… then your deposit…..

Thanks alot for the info ALN

Heard if you recommend new hirer to Prime they also pay you $500 commission.

Anyone want to work together so that we can share commission split 50/50

This issue split the diesel when hand over reliefs to hirers or hirers to reliefs there is alway probelms and arguments, than they divorce this is very common. What is full tank this is very subjective. when the nozzle stop than top another 5 dollars as my hirer request, this is full tank. Some hirers said you need to shake the taxi until the diesel settle to it lower than you pump until you see bubbles to the top than you close, that is full. So when you start talk this issue, best avoid troubles arise.

huh? what bubbles?

shake the taxi? wat toking u?

ALN SG

after driving with 5 hirers, i find paying for diesel cost by mileage is the most hassle free. meaning both decide how many km 1 litre of diesel can go… then you top up based on milege… clear cut, no argument…

my current old hirer has been pumping full full for 30 years… but the new sonata very hard to pump full full… but he will patiently pump for at least 15 mins until not one more drop of diesel can go in… i told him i impatient type… then he agrees we calculate by milege… everyone happy

So go to the kiosk take a look. like one in Ang Mo kio st 63 at the peak hours where there are many Taxis (3pm to 5pm). What bubbles they pull out the nozzle from the taxi fuel tank and peek inside the tank through that tank hole and slowly add-on the diesel to the tank until you can see bubbles on the diesel, so this show that you know nothing what i am talking about. understand...Go see for yourself.

shaking the diesel tank is like shaking off those excess bubbles .... not much of a diff la for me...... no good la shaking , will damage the meter reading , cos u damage the gauge inside the tank .

Sonata is ok la ...

Like u hit $320km tat day .... u must top at least 32 litres , then u slowly filled the diesel until u see the diesel not going slowly down , until the diesel takes longer time to go down the tank , then i can say u are doing ok with filling up .

I nvr had any problems with my partner regarding diesel issues .

I nvr calculate so much as long as it's reasonable . he also nvr calculate .

Calculative will caused partnership to rot .

If both parties dun take each other for granted , then the relation will be good .
