I've gotten this deal fm a CDG Merc hirer who offered me a rental of $60 (0600-1800) for Mon-Sat and $1 per 10km (mkt rate) for fuel charge.

Normal SONATA rental worked out to be about $50-$55. So with the add of $5 for a Merc (Merc can double-up as LIMO cab with higher charges), Why not. Better opp, right?

So I'm going to give a shot on that! Any comment?

$60 per shift not bad. U can try. Very easy to cover rent. On top of that u can take limousine and normal booking. In other words, u can potentially choose from more types of calls.

But for a start. avoid the airport arrival job. Very troublesome

Sgm40 vps SG

La, Tks for the positive note!

May I know how troublesome is airport arrival jobs?

can share?

Everytime I take Merc cab, the uncles always tell me it is much easier to drive (earn) than driving sampan. One booking job already $40-45, definitely can earn more.

Got one uncle even said he is going to "upgrade" one more time to drive Crysler. He is confident he can earn more from the usual jobs, plus the Crysler meter is 50% more.

If got this $60 offer for night relief like you have, I will take it.

What I did was that I printed some slips written: " Hi, I am interested to hire your taxi as a relief driver. I’m willing to drive from 6am till 6pm Mon to Sat. Timing can be negotiable. I’m staying at Blk 123, Jalan Phui Phui! If you are keen, pls call me at 987654321, Thank you. Mr xxx". and left it in my car. I drove around my neighbour and lookout for cabs that parked in the MSVP, noted that some cabs had been parked during the day. Therefore I placed the slip on the windscreen, hoping the hirer would give me a call.

Surely enough, some of them did call me (recv 5 calls so far)

Finally, on Tues when I went to jog at Pasir Ris Park, saw 3 cabs (2 Merc + 1 Sonata) parked at CP C, placed my slip, one of them called me, and this is the one done-deal that I have secured!

God Bless!

I am not so confident of their claims. The sampan is not so pleasant to drive, but due to low costs, it is very easy to make money. Eng eng cheng cheng also got 100-150. No need to stress out yourself. Ask them, can SMRT guarantee at least one private and one advance booking for the chryslers? If not, can they chin chin chai chai make this kind of profit everyday in less than 10 hrs? Somemore considering that many pax reject chryslers, may have to go on empty for slightly longer to fish those richer pax.

I wish to confirm my suspicions, but too bad there are no chrysler hirers around my place.

a) less than 2

b) 3-5

c) more than 5

After driving the Merc for 3 wks... (I've not been on line reading since I was in zombie state for the first 2 wks of driving)... I begin to love the Merc cab! Though sometimes I hated her too!

It brought me more opportunities on premere jobs, limo q jobs, personal bookings, etc. 1 eg was this wk's limo q at SG Expo (communicAsia 2010)... got 6 jobs altogether.

Also gotten a 2 hr disposal offered to a tourist on my first wk of driving..like what you guys mentioned, more $ more smiles.

I will keep unleashing the potential of what my trusted partner can do.

Yes! Merc limo cab is better!
