Taxi insurance for multiple people?
In message , Roland Perry
writes So they can't take a commission to collect "Mr Perry's party" without me first saying how many people it is? (Modulo less than a car full). It's entirely up to the operator how they take the booking. Almost all WWW booking forms ask for the number of passengers along with a mountain of other details. Telephone operators may or may not ask for such information. However, if a company is willing to take a booking for just "a car to Heathrow" without the knowledge that there are five passengers, two of whom require child seats and one of whom is disabled, and that there is a wheelchair, eight large suitcases, two pairs of skis, a double bass and a guide dog among the party, everyone is going to be disappointed if a Ford Escort turns up for the job. So Paul Terry seems somewhat outvoted on this issue. I don't mind being outvoted in the slightest, but it was not me that wrote "PHV drivers who pick up passengers that have not been booked through their PHV operators are plying for hire" ... it was TfL. As I said, I think the driver concerned was just using this as an excuse to bump up the fare. However, there is no regulation of the fares charged for private hire - operators can set whatever conditions they wish. -- Paul Terry |
