Hello, I create this topic together with a friend who has been employed as a taxi driver in Mannheim since 3 years.He has been playing with thoughts for a few months to become self-employed in this industry, but does not know exactly what additional costs would be for him as a self-employed person. For this reason we would be very grateful if someone could give us answers to the following questions. 1. Fuel costs can already be calculated, just like the car tax (about 300€ depending on Hubrau 2. Car insurance??? How much % does one start as a new self-employed person? And can one take over the percentages from the private car? 3. Health insurance?? His wife works and is socially insured by her company. What about the private health insurance? Does he then only have to pay the private KV for himself or does he, despite the employment of his wife, have to take out a private KV for her and her son? Or can he avoid the costs of the private KV so that he is insured by his wife? What does private health insurance cost monthly? Are there any insurances added???? 4. Accounting??? Since he can not do the accounting himself, he has to order a tax consultant. What do they demand about a month??? 5. Head office in Mannheim requires about 400€/monthly for the placement of the orders. 6. For the beginning he would buy a used taxi in cash. Is that enough or do you have to expect more? 7. Are there any additional costs that we might have forgotten? We would like to thank you for your answers in advance. LG A&T

Hello, I have a question that has been buzzing around my head for some time: Can you, for example, allow a duck (Citroen 2CV) as a taxi? What criteria are there regarding safety, emission standard or body shape, number of seats?

Hello, I recently bought a London taxi BJ 1996 with 2.7 l Nissan diesel engine. The mileage is about 550,000 km. In the course of the exchange of all liquids there is of course also an oil change. Which oil would you recommend? Unfortunately I have no idea what London cabbies are driving for oil… or what is now in it. The manufacturer’s “minimum requirement” is: “MIL-1-46152 or BLS 22 OL.02 or A.P.I. SE/CC nor at the enormous mileage of the engine of course for the engine the best possible, but take no risk. Thank you in advance and greeting

Hello dear Taxiforen, I have become aware of your forum/blog due to a search at google and please you. Jürgen I had already written to you and then decided to post it in public…I never find several opinions hurt… many thanks in advance. In advance to my person: I have been an entrepreneur for over 10 years and have 3 companies and 19 employees with my business partners. We are active in the areas of mobile communications, car rental and car rental. A business consultant called me and offered me a taxi company with 5 concessions in the area of Braunschweig, small town with 30,000 inhabitants. The figures sounded ok: Company profit is close to 80,000€ constant the last 3 years. Selling takes place because the owner is a 69 year old lady without follow-up regulation and so slowly wants to step a little shorter. My question: what is the taxi business like? What will happen to the taxi business in the future? Are the numbers ok or bad? Is The lady demands a purchase price of 110,000€ (from 150,000€). The cars are a Mercedes 211, a Viano, 2 Movano and a Touran of which only 2 are still in the financing. The lady currently drives a whole shift herself and also makes the headquarters while you drive and coordinates the drivers. Have read a lot in the forums and my first gut feeling tells me to let go of…and another it too dare…what to be an entrepreneur ;-). Since the lady wants to ride half a shift she remains a little bit with me or I have time to grow a ladder. I myself plan to take care of it. What do you think about it? I am grateful about your opinions
