Hi can any bros with Prime comment on the fleet of taxis they got, am looking at allion, cos got a friend driving this (non taxi - private car) sat inside b4 and quite comfortable, only setback is that its petrol driven, maybe running cost a bit high
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%. Your savings on your low rental are use to balance your higher fuel cost, in another words LPPL. The bonus that they offer are after 5yrs, why put your savings in their bank and let them earn the interest? 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. So you tell me, taxi operator make money very easy hor?? 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.

Time for u to discuss with your hirer... If not find another hirer who is more neg...
true... next blk walking distance can save time. in our trade, time = $ why don't u keep posting in the cabby site see got nearby one. Good luck as always
i too just went through the Prime intro by one of my cousin, the rental is attractive at 1st, but after much understanding , i back up cos
1. the contract is 5 YEARS, not sure how the market will be?
2. the rental is that LOW only when you drive for full 5 years after you get the bonus
3. deposit is high, how reliable is the company?
4. Petrol prices still not stable, fuel consumption figure given is not very true.
above is my personal opinion only, good luck Bro.
huh? the rental cheap is a gimmick??tot it is daily rental fixed at the listed price..... never knew it is after getting the bonus at end od contract....
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.
