Limo Forum - Where to pickup at this hour?
-
I am particularly interested in knowing where to pickup passengers at the following hours (due to the surcharge), especially from midnite to 6am as most of the places (except airport, pubs, hotels, casino) are closed for business.
1) 6pm to midnite (25% surcharge)
2) Midnite to 6am (50% surcharge)
Any experience driver to share the lobang?

Sunday midnight - can close after 1am. same goes to Monday, Tuesday. Non-eventful nights. Luckily u opened thread here (Limo Forum), if u open this thread next door.. Nobody will reply you... To them, this is their trade secret..... Haha.

I can see why this is their
Most of the hirers are searching for nite relief.
As such, I foresee that I will most likely start as a nite relief.
So, I will need to know where to pickup passenger, especially after midnite.
Day time relief should be easier as most of the places are open for business.
May be I should ask tactically where can I find food to eat at 3am?

U can try getting a quality regular pax frequenting pubs who can't drive home to chauffeur them. Best if you drive LIMO..

Night driving is like a war zone out there.. i only try driving at night a few times.. nightspots is the most common areas but high risk getting a merlion, early morning can try certain hotel for early departure and/or staff end shift timing, some hotels do not allow their staff to take taxi from the hotel taxi stands so must know where to go and some months can even go office buildings at 1am or so esp financial closing times...
pardon me as i seldom drive night so cant give solid advise so just based on what i know and of course very general info :p

The only time I drive over night is when I also got party myself.. Either attend dinner, go karaoke, clubbing.. Other than that, I'm not a night driving expert.. There's once, after had a drink at Clark Quay, so many pax waiting for taxi, so decided to get one home, got midnight surcharge ma.. After getting one, from talkie info, alamak, there's a road block down the road.. So I ask the pax can I go the other way cause got road block.. " uncle, we are the one drinking, why worry.." "Ms, so sorry, I also drink just now.." Thought they will fxxx me upside down, young teenagers dame sporting, some more call their friends, to check other road got road block or not.. Guess what, me good uncle, in the end, give them a free ride..

Long Q of taxis though....

The above places (mentioned) are not secrets lah....
Almost every TDs know about it.... it all depends on your luck... getting a short or long trip.

It depends on where is your last location at what time....
@ Jurong, If you are driving a CDG cab.... (before 10pm) can zoooom to Tuas and wait for MDT call....
@East (Tampines or Pasir Ris).... any company cab, zoom to Changi Airport (depending on the timing and which terminal to try).
@North (Woodlands)... can zooom to Night Safari (this applies only on weekends)...
@Town (Orchard).... go to any taxi stands lor.
@Town (Raffles place, Shenton Way)... If call comes in... If not, taxi stands can try lah.

Bo pien ah....
Where got so many premier jobs to go around ?
Drive limousine cabs, have to build your own clientele. That's why I often adviced limousine cabbies to Q AP limo when available. Give your business cards when available.
Have to be discipline with your working hours.
Whether achieve target or not.... close for the day.
Get enough rest and cheong again the next day...
It is a long battle ahead.
