I am staying in Bedok Reservoir View. I have asked a few uncles
there but cannot get them to agree for Friday and Saturday nights.
Dats y I tot I become hirer with Prime and no need to bargain or
satisfy with any hirers. I will be driving my own taxi, own time,
own target.
Congrats on obtaining your TVL.
Sincerely, do your research carefully before committing on a
long contract. As you mentioned, you're in debt now. Do
you have the spare money ($3,000 at least) to hand
over to Prime? Secondly, although low rental, Fit runs on
petrol. So, higher cost where fuel is concerned.
Thirdly, I seem to read in the forum that Prime do not allow relief
for their vehicles. (Maybe I read wrongly, but that's the
impression I get.) So, if you are only driving at night, then
what happens to the other hours? Park vehicle in carpark?
Then, wouldn't it seems like you paying rental for vehicle to park
in carpark most of the time?
Anyway, you know why you can't get only Friday and Saturday
nights ony? These 2 nights are supposedly easier to earn
money than the rest of the week. So, what you think?
My suggestion is since you're in debt (me too), avoid huge
outgoing cash, avoid commitment to long contracts, maximize your
income. One such example is I read in the forum... Lot's of
taxi drivers take off on Sundays or at least drive on Sundays only
to cover rental. Hence, if you offer to drive full day for
Sunday, market rate is about $20 lower than regular rental.
Lower rental + cheaper diesel.
HTH.
