Private Hire Drivers Neglected!
To have options for drivers like myself to get good deals on insurance, maintenance and many more!
We are providing a service to the public yet we aren't being noticed!
Ps throughout Covid I worked as key workers needed to be in hospital, surgery and many others yet we wern't key workers?
We as private hire drivers feel neglected and have no one to turn to or seek help! No one treats us like humans and everyone sees taxi drivers like we are scums!
Running a vehicle for a private hire involves us extensive MOT, applying for a Vehicle License, insuring through taxi insurance, vehicle finance, fuel, mobile phone, data, accountant, tax and NIC, service, maintenance and repairs and so much more! Each one I have mentioned prices have increased yet our income has decreased!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about costs for insurance, vehicle finance, mobile phones and accountants are a matter for the relevant service providers, not the UK Government or Parliament. We could accept a petition calling for the Government to introduce tax breaks for private hire vehicle drivers, if that's something you'd like to happen.
