From the abundance of various public transport, the route taxi stands out for its speed and convenience. It is it that enjoys the greatest popularity among the population that is always in a hurry somewhere. The profitability of a business of this kind is evidenced by the fact that there are a lot of fixed-route taxis, there is no such area in the city where a "minibus" does not go.
Instructions
Step 1
Business creation starts with a car fleet, the choice of cars is rather limited due to high customs duties and the high cost of imported cars. It is necessary to choose the necessary transport from domestic products, which, as a rule, are inferior in all parameters to imported counterparts.
Step 2
If you buy a less expensive option that is not suitable for the work of a route taxi, then later it will have to be redone, which will not only incur additional cash costs, but also the loss of precious time. Experienced entrepreneurs advise against this method.
Step 3
However, it is not at all necessary to immediately acquire cars for ownership, you can lease it and this will reduce the initial investment in the business, as well as avoid paying property tax. The initial payment will be approximately 30% of the cost of the "minibus", and the average service life of a taxi lasts about 4 years. In addition, do not forget that up to 8% of the total cost of the car will be covered by insurance.
Step 4
After registering a minibus, think about maintenance, repairs, parking and washing, as well as fuel costs. The amount of expenses depends on the average daily mileage of the car, the availability of its own service. Entrepreneurs immediately begin to think about reducing costs, the most effective way is to rent a space for a car fleet outside the city. In addition, there is always an opportunity to agree on direct supplies of spare parts and fuel, which will significantly reduce the cost of their cost.
Step 5
The rules for the carriage of goods and people are governed by the Civil Code and the Licensing Regulations. There are only three types of licensed activities:
- Transportation of passengers by vehicles equipped for transporting up to 8 people;
- Commercial transportation of people by light vehicles;
- Transportation of goods with a carrying capacity of more than 3.5 tons.
The license is valid for 5 years. To issue a minibus, contact your local office of the Ministry of Transport, having collected the documents: copies of constituent documents, an application requesting the provision of the necessary license, a copy of the certificate of registration with the tax authorities and a copy of the certificate of attestation by persons responsible for road safety.
Step 6
