Relief Driver For Pte Limo

OptimalTrans SG

Is there such practise in the market?

Or their cost is too low and business too many, so no need relief?

Just_do_it_lah SG

Yes ... there is....

but.... (not many lor)....

unless they are once had partnership in CDG Maxi cab driving before....

seen a few of these partnerships... some are even brothers...

As Pte Limo...

90 - 95% are OMO drivers.

what the point of leasing the car out on half a shift .... ?

If we intend to come out as Pte Limo, we should have some regular passengers to service regularly, regardless the time.

Just_do_it_lah SG

some time,

my hourly disposal from 9am to 12midnite.... how to change shift ?

Just_do_it_lah SG

as we got no.....

we are all by ourselves and our own resources....

Yes there are Pte-Limo (Vito) grouping... but... those are usually the BONES they page out....

Just_do_it_lah SG

Let's wait patiently for Sam.seah to come in and share his opinion.... (but he is doing hourly disposal now - just pte msg him)...

How to have Communication breakdown where he is easily reachable on his mobile phones and walky talkie.....

Not that Singapore is a third world country.... knn... this statement is the funny OMG i ever heard..

Sam.seah SG

Yes, there is this practice... Just that have to discuss who gets to pay wat, who gets to earn wat... A bit difficult from wat I see...

But still got people managing it quite well... I do not know how they do it as we r not close...

Curious only, if Pte plate, insurance should be ok, but PZ plate, how it works?

As long as the vehicle is use for limousine transportation services, a commercial (comprehensive) insurance is needed regardless whether it is SKF plate or PA/PC plates.

Fyi, private plate insurance can cost you around $4,100++.

Insurance coverage for commercial vehicle is around $2,200.

Just_do_it_lah SG

hence, commercial plate on this insurance issue is almost half of the SKF plate.

As for Road tax, Private Plate for a 2.2CDI (Viano) cost around $1.6k a year. A commercial plate cost at $638 a year.

So if you let out for relief to drive, don't need to pay extra? Work like taxi?

Not asking about how much to pay for insurance and road tax....so not clear..

Some of the Vehicle owner... (may have 2nd or 3rd vehicles)... if he didn't rent them out...

likely will "employ" some "drivers" on allowance basis and pay them job allowances if completed.

Some limousine owners have fixed pay drivers + OT. But he will have to bare all the operation cost, like diesel run, ERP tolls etc.

oic..........

Just_do_it_lah SG

Many Pte Limousines kakis whom used to own more than 1 vehicle told me....

it is better to own 1 vehicle... too many... too much headache... (road tax, servicing, car parks, insurance policies, look for drivers etc).

komade SG

yah the more u hav the more u need to organise..............

Just_do_it_lah SG

Some (Pte Limo) whom expends to fast...... end up losing everything....

Look at the bank loans for Alphards, E200/É250 or even SClass.

Especially the months during recessions cycle when alot of expats relocation.

Many of these Pte Limo have accounts with Foreign Banks in Singapore. Many are committed to hourly disposals... almost every week day. (You can see then parking their vehicles at ORQ - besides the Sail Condo ).

So, better pray hard that the Ang Mos don't get relocated.
