Entrepreneurs – Want To Be An Airport Driver?

You’ve seen them pick up people and passengers at the airport and think that you might like to do the same as a business so how do you go about it?

First of all you need to decide what kind of vehicle you want to use. Do you want a high end limousine or a registered cab or taxi? Do you want a small van or large car to take a few people? Or do you want to run coaches? There are a few things you need to do regardless of your vehicle choice and some you need to do for each type of vehicle:

· First you need to go onto you State, country or county web site to see what licenses and qualifications you will need. Needless to say you should obtain these before any great expenditures are undertaken.

· Now for your choice of vehicle. If you are choosing a small van or car, you might also need a trailer. If you choose an executive car then you should ensure it is washed, waxed and detailed before every trip and that the inside is spotless and contains such items as newspapers and drinks. If you are having a taxi or cab, these have their own specific requirements that you hackney/cab license will place on you. Coach drivers will need specific driving licenses. You should see your driver/driving license authority for details of any changes you will need. You should take the appropriate test before paying out for an expensive vehicle.

· Next is insurance – you can’t use your car license as you are carrying paying passengers.

· You will also need liability insurance so see your insurance agent for details.

· Next is a tax number and registering for tax so contact your tax authority.

· Now you are ready to get going. Advertise in your local Yellow Pages and locally to find your local passengers. Also advertise in the appropriate web sites to find your arriving customers. If you also have a group of planes that arrive from a set area, you can also advertise in that area.

· Your airport might also need some qualifications - you need to check with them. They often have specific waiting systems and rules as to whom can collect from the airport. Some airports only deal with one company and you will need to sub contract from them.

A quick chat with a local transport driver will help you understand the peculiarities of your local airport. Good luck.

CEOs and Email - Slaves? - I wonder if the emails they are responding to are filtered thru their assistants first 'cos they seem to spend a lot of their off hours responding to them. True they are successful but I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay that price. I'd be interested to know what's the in the typical day planner of Entrepreneurs on the Forum. Entrepreneurs are a different breed than Paid Employees- so it would be interesting to view the contrast.

It won't happen for a while yet, but I know it is something I will do within the next few years. As we allow ourselves to think bigger, the opportunity to impact people becomes much bigger as well. Does anyone else have a desire to really make a difference in the world through this means?
Re: Vista? - [quote="tracyselena":14rzth14]Don't bother....get a Mac instead...you'll have a lot less headaches. I used a pc for years and spent far too much of my time dealing with fixing, rebooting, installing and waiting. My MacBook is great. I never have to reboot due to a crash, didn't even have to install my printer, just plugged it in and it was there ready to print. It's fast, friendly & fun.[/quote:14rzth14] That's great tracyselena but it would take more time for Windows based entrepreneurs to sit down and learn how to use the Dock (instead of Start) and Macintosh OS procedures when compared to rebooting and installing once or twice a month. I will admit that there are a lot of advantages to Macs IF you have the time to learn a new way of doing things on a Mac computer (easy wireless networking and printer installation through Airport Express), but why try to fix things when processes are streamlined enough?
