Hyundai Getz CRDi as Taxi

[beereo]

Do you think that this car can be a viable option compared to avanza, vios and sentra units? Based on the latest car review that i read, it has a very good fuel consumption. It can also outrun cars with a 1600cc to 2000cc displacement even if it has a diesel engine. Please give me the best automotive advice. I am contemplating on entering the taxi biz. Thanks for your help!

Only time can tell if Hyundai Getz will be a good taxi car. By the mean time
why dont you try it and share us your experience. Get both vios and getz.

[pitbullz]

mukhang mas OK kapag accent. may pwet kasi eh....

[Bry]

I have seen a few Getz taxis, pero I wouldn't recommend getting one. Why not play safe and get a used Corolla? Pareho lang naman yung boundary nyan eh. If it has to be brand new, Vios or Sentra or Altis ka na lang.

By the way, how many units to you plan on getting? I have four (4) units running right now, and seven (7) more ready na, just waiting for the yellow plates. Nine (9) are Corolla XLs and two (2) are Sentra GXs.

[_Qwerty_]

diba mahirap kumuha nang linya (prankisa?) kapag taxi?? nag bibigay ba nang bago ang LTO? or do you have to buy an existing one? matagal ko na rin kasi gusto mag business nang taxi..

[Bry]

You have to buy an existing one. Wag kayo maniniwala sa mga tao na 'may connection' na i-aapply kayo ng new franchise. 99.9% of them are bogus.

[the one]

Bro, why wont you try the Rio. Its a good car, cheap and very good looking.

[pitbullz]

mas mataas ang boundary ng accent kesa lumang corolla.

kuha na lang kayo ng existing then palipat na lang ninyo yun franchise

[Bry]

pitbullz: Operator ka din? How much ba boundary ng Accent ngayon? Yung sa akin mga 2003 model Corollas equipped with LPG napapa-boundary ko pa ng 1,500 (mon-fri) and 1,300 (sat-sun). Yung boundary ng Accent can't be much higher kasi aayawan naman yun kung masyadong mataas. Tsaka talo sa maintenance ang Accent versus Corolla.

[beereo]

Bry and Pitbullz, if you don't mind, how much do you earn per month for each taxi unit that you have? Could you kindly give me the break down of all the expenses per month? What is the best approach in handling erring taxi drivers? How can you control drivers who steal the your vehicles' parts piece-by-piece? Do I still need to get a parcel of land which will serve as the parking lot of the taxi units. Thank you very much!

[ringostarr]

bawal hatchback sa taxi ata

[lui]

samen po may kumuha accent na taxi madamihan. same engine sa getz crdi.. nakaka 30units na ata sila wala nman sila reklamo

[pitbullz]

naku! hindi po ako operator ng taxi! wish ko lang! hehehe

natatanong ko lang kasi sa mga kilala kong may taxi. pag bago bago pa unit nasa 1500 yan. like yun 2003 pataas. then 1200 yun pangkaraniwan. 800 pag kia pride hehehe minsan may 500 pa nga daw eh. pag LPg mas mataas ang boundary syempre...

advice ko lang. kapag sinabing nabangga yun taxi hingan mo ng police report kundi pabayad mo sa driver yun pinsala


pwede gawin taxi ang mga walang pwet...

may nakita ako:

pride
getz
charade
aveo
picanto

For newer taxis, I should net around 25-30K each. With older taxis I should net around 15-20K.

Iba iba ang expenses eh.

Off the top of my head:

-Every six (6) weeks change oil and oil filter,
-Change timing belt, tensioner and bearing every 70-75T kms.
-Every six (6) months change tires

Tapos syempre madami pang biglaan na nasisira kaya be ready for that.


Ang madalas naman palitan ng driver ay yung tires lang AFAIK, kaya what we do is we etch yung body number and date on each tire para pag check namin tapos wala yung etching, huli yung driver.

Ilang units ba yung initial na kukunin mo? Akin kasi I have twelve (12) right now, kaya kasya pa naman sa office garage namin. Once I reach mga twenty (20) maghahanap na ako ng bigger parking lot na mauupahan.

Best approach for me ha in handling drivers, wag mo masyadong papagalitan kasi hindi mo alam gagawin nyan pag nasa labas na yan. Kung hindi mo type yung driver, kahit na may utang pa sayo, get rid of him kaagad. Lalaki lang utang nyan pag tumagal pa sayo yan.


lui: Yup madami-dami na nga kumuha ng Accent na taxi. Wait mga two (2) more years, mahihirapan yung mga yun sa maintenance. Yung uncle ko nga who is also a taxi operator (80+ taxis) and also happens to be an executive of Hyundai ayaw kumuha ng Accent. His fleet consists of fifty (50) units Corolla XL, and thirty plus (30+) na Vios.

Sir Bry,

Nagtataka lang ako sa uncle mo why ayaw nya kumuha ng ACCENT, ano kaya ang nakikita nyang problema? How aout you sir, ano nakikita mong problema dito? As advertised 38km/liter daw ito, so baka pwede itong mas mataas na boundary at diesel pa? Kung iyong mga de-gasolina nakaka-1500 pa sa boundary, baka ito pwede nang 2K?
Hindi na ba talaga nag-i issue ng new taxi franchise ang LTFRB?
May body number ba ang taxi? Hindi ba plate # lang iyon naka-paint sa body ng taxi?
Mababaw lang etch ninyo sa gulong?

Sir LUI,

Iyon bang kumuha ng mga ACCENT sa inyo may linya na agad? Paano kaya strategy para maging taxi agad ang bagong kotse?

[bossing47]

mas ok talaga gawing taxi mga toyota(matibay)... sa gas lang talo kase alang sedan na diesel mga toyota, though pwedeng palitan into LPG- in the long run panalo ka talaga sa maintenance...

mga driver kase harabas lang ng harabas... alang pakialam sa unit basta maka boundary tapos na heheheheheh... bihira lang yung talagang me malasakit sa unit na ginagamit nya...

yup meron na po sila. company po iyun.

[32mcute]

Bry- Kung bibili ba ako lets say ng isang 2nd hand taxi...does it mean sa akin na din yun prankisa nun? And...posible ba ko na bumili ng isang bagong car to add on top of that same prankisa?....me limit ba taxi units per prankisa.
Maraming salamat sa you Bry....malaking tulong yung mga information na nai
share mo dto sa mga tsikoteers.....

[Bry]

32mcute: Basta i-indicate mo sa deed of sale na kasama yung franchise. Usually naman kasama na talaga yung franchise eh. What you can do is buy old used taxis, pagtyagaan mo muna for a few years until the franchise expires, may kita pa rin naman yan basta maganda yung management and maintenance. Tapos pag mga six (6) months before expiration, get a newer car then apply ka sa LTFRB ng dropping and substitution.

Yup may limit na number of units na pwede ilagay sa isang franchise. Just read the decision papers nung franchise, naka-indicate naman dun.

Moonlighter: I seriously doubt the 38km/l claim, baka pag-puro downhill ang kalsada tsaka patay air-con pwede pa. Kung totoo yan, my uncle would be the first one to use the Accent pang-taxi.

[beereo]

Bry, magkano po kaya downpayment ko per unit?ilang percent para magkaroon din ako ng net income ng katulad sa iyo? thanks!
