You will find taxi driving opportunities in every
part of the country. You may have to join a waiting
list for a hackney carriage licence, as these are
limited.
You could work for an operating company and rent a
vehicle from them at a fixed rate or use your own car
and cover your own costs. You can find jobs advertised
in the local press, in job centres and by contacting
taxi firms directly.
As a self-employed driver, you could progress to
become an operator and increase your earnings by
running a private hire firm. To do this in England and
Wales, you will need an operator’s licence issued by
your local council.
