hi bro music,

i too just went through the Prime intro by one of my cousin, the rental is attractive at 1steyepopping.gif, but after much understanding jawdrop.gif, i back up cosdisbelief.gif

1. the contract is 5 YEARS, not sure how the market will be? rip.gif

2. the rental is that LOW only when you drive for full 5 years after you get the bonusno.gif

3. deposit is high, how reliable is the company?confuse.gif

4. Petrol prices still not stable, fuel consumption figure given is not very true.worry.gif

above is my personal opinion only, good luck Bro.smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gif

Bro music, you drive PRIME, you can forget abt TUAS, SG KADUT, SENOKO, and all ulu ulu industrial area, cos you send pax in, it's empty out for you 99%. disbelief.gif
Your savings on your low rental are use to balance your higher fuel cost, in another words LPPL. confuse.gif
The bonus that they offer are after 5yrs, why put your savings in their bank and let them earn the interest? evileye.gif
Can't you plan to save up that kinda money in 5 yrs by driving for other coy?
I think you can do better than that bro, at least double!!
The deposit is too high bro, basically they are using your deposit to buy the car that you paid for and rent it back to you, have you ever tot of that?
And the so called bonus are the resale value of the car that you paid for too, in another words, they are making money out of you through and through at ZERO cost from them. no.gifno.gifno.gif
So you tell me, taxi operator make money very easy hor?? yawn.gif
I'm not asking you to reconsider, i'm telling u to forget about their offer bro.
When our garmen issue taxi operator lic to them, it's not to make the taxi coy competitive but to make us cabbies competitive. furious.giffurious.giffurious.giffurious.giffurious.giffurious.gif

Bro Music,

I have only one key point to share with you... go with the market leader and player..

If you hear what old birds comment about PRIME.... you know you click with the right COY...

In our business ...we need some leverage and which COY ..do you think can help you do that..

Like Bro Bluenuts said...you send pax to ulu place...it can happen ....you pray you dont empty all the way ...it will happen,

Choose wisely...Good Luck

1st of all,,,, The Blue & Yellow coy are 1 of the blood s u c k e r and mother F u c k e r furious.giffurious.giffurious.gif
But ,,, driving their cab got some advantagess !!
i) "call" ,,, no big deal as it getting lesses & lesser ,,, BUT ,, u needs them when U landed in Tuas/Woodland Ind Park/Loyang/Changi Nth/Pandan/Jln Buroh ,,etc !!
ii) "card" ,, now a day,,, alot of pax paying fare by Nets & credit card ,, so they will take the Blue & Yellow A380,,, this is VERY importance / especilly for the nite shift TD like me !!
iii) ERP refund if u can't pick a pax after 15 min of waiting..
iv) Refund of "run-off-fare" !!! YES !!! just find out today,,,, the coy will pay U back the full fare if the pax run away !!
so ?? what say u bro Music ?? biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

My friend went there got information how Prime offers.

Take for example Honda Airwave CNG, daily rental S$69/-
- Prime doesn't allow relief driving except 2 days during hirer take leave every month.
- Booking pay $1000, collect taxi pay another $2000.
- Remaining $2000 need to pay by installment, i.e. everyday +10 onto rental plus $100 interest.
- At the end of 5-Year contract, prime return $10,000 to hirer.

Good deal or not?
