Super Relief driver

I will be trying out a new way of life in Taxi driving as a Super Relief driver.

Super Relief will not have a fixed Taxi from a fixed hirer to drive for a living. When a hirer goes on vacation, especially if he is an OMO driver. He cannot stop the payment to the Taxi company even he is on vacation. Thus super relief comes in to deflate the rental cost by driving as a "super" relief".

Because of the uncertainty of the job plus the condition of the Taxi is unknown. There are no fixed rate for this market segment. I did managed to dig out some information based on my research with hirer by negotiating with them.


  1. Sonata/ magentis - $50 - $60 a day.
  2. Prius /renault / Optima - $80 - $90 a day.

Although you will get a lower rental for driving as a super relief. There are some dis-advantages to it. 

  1. You do not have a permanent taxi/car to get used to. The moment you are familiar with its car characteristic, it is time to move on to another.
  2. You will not have a fixed income due to the fact you might not have a booking everyday. Especially not within the school holiday season. Thus you may be only driving about 20 out of the 30 days in a month.
  3. Every Taxi company you sign up as a relief driver, you need to have a security deposit with them. They ranged from $1000 for transcab to $2000 for Prime.
