  Hi mate,

  The rates are good.

  The important thing to note is that most companies do not allow employees to use limos. HOWEVER employees regularly get away with it quite easily as long as you use a merchant terminal from CABCHARGE or GMCABS (i.e. so the receipt is the same as a taxi) - AND you don't charge more than about 20% more than an equivalent cab fare.

  Exceptional Prices but are you getting a profit?

  Thanks for your replies!

  CABCHARGE is being utilised in order to expand the payment systems used.

  @Slide to Unlock I am keen to introduce really cheap fares in order to compete with the wider market as some Chauffeurs charge up to $170 for the same route.

  It would be ideal for families going to the airport during Christmas as it is cheap and you get luxury as well

  Can this be posted as a bargain? Or is it better to keep it here?

  I am starting to take any bookings so please contact me!

  Much appreciated :)

  I occasionally use cab hire for work purposes. Are you able to do an ad-hoc request (ie. an hour prior)? And what is the indicative fare from North Sydney to the Airport? Thanks.

  hi scrypton, yepp most definetely the fare would be $60 and 1 hour on call is ok.

  it's hard to compete with silver service

  you book online, dude turns up without fail in a good condition Fairlane and the fares tend to be as expected without many surprises

    i booked for 3 weeks with silver taxi, 50% was late 10-20 minutes. they told me if i need 1 pm, please send the request for 12.30-40 pm??????

    their system only broadcast 10 minutes before the pick up time. so if during the day is peak time, good luck if you still can get on time

    Nah.

    My ratings (highly scientific: double blind and reproducable)

    Taxi 1/10
    Silver service 3/10
    Limo 9/10

    oh yeah 1 more, hc car always clean, taxi & silver taxi - good luck if you can get ausie driver that normally maintain their car, other driver most of the time really don't bother to clean up their car. you can see from the dirty on the window, smell chinese food inside the taxi, smell someone just smoking inside the taxi and racer driver.

    compare with hc car, some of them got lcd tv for you to watch. seriously, you can compare hc and taxi. if u take taxi everyday like me, then you can see the real difference.
