It isnt with uber(i did think about it), it's with a new start up company based in Midlothian. They have struck a deal with Edinburgh council meaning they can either drop off and pick up in Edinburgh as long as the customer starts or ends in Midlothian. There is talks of branching to East Lothian aswell...
The guy has giving me a choice of cars (4 to 8 seaters) to drive so I'm 100% comfortable and they will be running a ΓΒ£175,000 state of the art GPS/Booking system. Also all the cars will have a Panic button in case of emergencies, just in case something does happen.
My partner says go for it and my heart says go for it as i currently hate my job but not sure if i can match or better my current wage Γ°ΕΈΒ€β. I've been giving the option to have a few nights/days work to see if i enjoy doing it and i can take it from there. Just wanted to see if anyone has any good advice or horror stories to sway my decision one way or another Γ°ΕΈβ’β
