Surely hire or reward insurance must cost all of what you can make unless you're at it most weekends?
Hi there jammy yes i am local i live at Ashbourne , yes the roads to congleton are narrow more so the short cut way turning off at rushton. my bay is L regd type 4 the engine was swapped over from a 1600 before i bought it . i will have to keep an eye out for yours when passing trough. which side are you from the Bath side or matlock .
I have looked into this a little. If you doproms you needs a private hire license, i.e. taxi license. But weddings for some strange reason are different, you dont need any special license, but obviously you need the right insurance.
no not been to Moon Inn but know where it is,we will have to have a beer when you in Matlock we can give Faust a bell in above post or we will have to meet up for an afternoon for a cuppa in the Spring, an afternoon get together. or try and blag a campsite for the night,
sounds like a great idea, theres plenty of pubs for a quick pint as there are campsites for a night! Get xmas out of the way & sort something out
yes iam game for meeting up at the moon inn , never actually been in amazingly enough but iv been to rising sun further down . pick a dry road day in winter or wait for early spring . be in touch cheers Ewan .
Yes sorry weddings are ok But proms you need to be a taxi Who wants to go to a prom in a taxi ! Most people I have meet doing proms If stopped by the police Would just say they are doing in for free And I have done a few free ones too I have photos of proms and all you see is campers and old cars And they have all been hired
Telling the police it's free I understand. What happens if you have a crash though and one of the kids gets hurt? The insurers WILL find out you've been paid for it and we all know what insurance companies are like.... Don't get me wrong; I wouldn't mind doing a few in mine if I could make it pay but I'd want to be 100% certain that my bus, the passengers and I, were all properly insured.
100% agree. Worst case someone badly injured or killed. Your not insured, you go to prison and lose your house.
Well, I had to take the bus off SORN, costing six months tax, tank of petrol, cost of a fresh flower arrangement thing for the dash, missed out on the canapés at the reception while I parked it in the £18.00 a night secure car park so I can safely say I charged nothing and paid a fortune to have the pleasure of using my bus for a wedding. How's that for a business model.....?
Not quite as bad, but I reupholstered the interior, tank of fuel, and a days worth of cleaning! And charged cock all, of course :0)
Well if you know anyone wanting a camper around Colchester Weddings / proms/ or photo shoots We will do it I hold lots of driving qualifications Also been teaching people to drive for over 25 years I do most of the work on camper myself But most of all Love being out and about in camper It's not always about the money It just nice to be using her as often as possible for all sorts of things Going by how many people I meet (other camper owners drivers ) Maybe proms should be the same law as weddings Should I put on web site that the camper if free for proms But they need to give my dog some money Happy days
So you've got the taxi licence then and your bus is plated? I'd struggle round here as they won't plate anything older that 10 years I think it is.
Im not sure if different councils have different policies. You would need to check the local council website or give them a ring.
