Support Guildford Hackney Carriage drivers and stop our 16% pay cut
We pay thousands of pounds per year in expenses to our local council and for the upkeep of our vehicles to enable us to serve the public 24/7.
We are self employed yet we have had a 16% fare reduction enforced upon us by our local council.
This is our livelihood and we are struggling financially.
Each of us have already had to pay out £1200.00 to wrap our vehicles due to our local council enforcing a livery.
Private Hire vehicle meter fares are now 16% more than the Hackney Carriage vehicles in our borough and Uber charge their own prices...so Guildford now have 3 different fares depending on which type of vehicle the public choose to get into.
Hackney carriage drivers are losing money and struggling due to the 16% cut. Please help and support us to stop such a huge reduction.
