How To Start a Taxi Business in Jamaica *with links* | Run Some Errands With Me Vlog

- Hey B-squad!! Here's a vlog style video on how to run a taxi company In Jamaica * with links * I also took you along with me to run some errands for the taxi and personal. I also wanted to take the time to answer a couple questions about the taxi business in general.
1. Experience, pros and cons of the business
⊹ Personally it is a stressful experience and I wouldn't recommend it if you get stressed easily because you WILL GET STRESSED often. If you can manage stress then it won't be as bad because it does make money, you get to interact with a lot of people from drivers, to mechanics, to business owners and other gov't, business employees so that part is nice ( make links ). Again you do make money but money is also spent if there are accidents, repairs cosmetic, insurance, license renewals etc
2. Accidents
⊹ If you do what you are supposed to do then you'll be ok. GET YOUR PROPER INSURANCE! Get valid drivers with PPV License not your cousin who says he can drive it for you!!! Trust Me. If your vehicle gets into an accident you'll want to make sure you and your driver & passengers are covered. Don't forget to make sure your vehicle is road worthy ( don't be cheap PLEASE spend the money to fix your vehicle because you have peoples lives in your hands! )
3. Getting paid
⊹ Collect money every couple days, don't wait a week to collect your money! also use this time to inspect the vehicle as the drivers are the ones that keep and care for the car when you don't have it ( also not that drivers are responsible for brakes!!! given that they don't do something stupid and damage your vehicle, then they have to pay for it I.e drive the car through heavy rain and damage engine, hit a dog and damage radiator, things like that ) You'll want to ask around about how much to collect because pre covid collection is not the same as now. The country is slowly going back to pre-covid so you might be collecting more money but based on where you're running a taxi, the collection will vary ( Take into consideration if a lockdown or curfew is in place ) . The same goes for green plate vehicles
4. Driver selection
⊹ Get a referral from a driver you know or from an owner. But be aware that people do what they want. A driver might be good one day and terrible the next day! This is your vehicle and don't be afraid to tell the driver to park your car! don't be bullied by a driver because they can find other vehicles! that doesn't mean you can, if something were to happen to your car!

That’s great. 😊🙌🏽
Did you have to take a covid test?
@@victoriaa8559 no, not to enter or leave. I got back end of July from the UK
Loved this video was so helpful to know as were looking to do this and hopefully have a few on the road. I was looking out towards the end to see the breakdown like you said youd do ..for the insurance stickers and tint installation. Wish you so much success!
Thank you!!

Whaat👀 that would be nice!!
B you don't know how much I appreciate this, lol I was in Jamaica for 4.5 months and I got alot of the information I needed. Its just a thing of who to trust now but I appreciate this video because I can show my husband for him to get a better gasp on things. Dijoya.💛

Loved the video! From start to finish! Thanks for the information
Would you mind sharing which electrician that was ?
Thank you sooo much for watching. I wish I had specific information but I can only remember how to drive to him
The Plaza name is Silver Slipper (without the 's') lol back in the day, if you want shoes, clothes and especially colognes at a cheap price you go there lol They were like a one stop shopping spot for those items. Even now the Chinese stores sells their products cheaper than even the wholesales. I still go there for my Jergens lotion and my Treseme condition and shampoo cuz it's way cheaper there.
Well now I have to go back!!! Thank you 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
MY EAR 👂 BUDS DID THE SAME. MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME THEIRS A LEFT AND RIGHT L AN R WERE THE WIRE GOES INSIDE THE BUDS U MAY ALREADY KNOW THIS IF NOT SEE IF THE THE PROBLEM LET ME KNOW.I thought that was ur new ride!

Hello, I was doing some research and came across your video. I am about to sell my private car to buy a pro-box to do this. I am a stay at mom and I need a stream of income. Are there any updates that you’d like to share? Such as how the business is going since this video was done a year ago? I am super nervous and my husband is putting doubts here and there about high risk🥺
I don’t really have any updates. Just that having someone you trust to help and a great honest driver is always going to make the experience and business good
Great topic ✊🏿💯, it's longtime cars have been stolen 🙄 ina D country 🤔, just secur yr car 🚗 fr criminal... bigup yrself Bicana
Amen 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Starting any business in the islands it's a headache 😫
That’s the truth!
Are you still doing this type of business in Jamaica ?
Bicana motors making a giant Mark on Jamaican roads
Yup silver slippers is the name been there from I was a kid. Right beside Hilo in Cross Roads
Ok great 😆😆
How old does a vheicle has to be for a first time taxi?
This is exactly what im trying to find out.. you find out yet?
@anthoneynevera8680 think it on the transport authority website. Think it can't be older that 11years old
Thank you for making this video, it is very helpful for me!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you.Very infomative.How much per year for insurance?
You’ll need to contact a insurance broker because there’s a lot of variables that determine the insurance coverage and price 😆
Hello are you still in business ,thank you for your information
Yes we are 💕🇯🇲🙏🏽
Very informative!
Thank you 🙏🏽
I am currently trying to pursue operating a taxi... how was the process to get the red plate??? Really would appreciate the info
Hi, the website to transport authority is linked in the description box with all the relevant and updated information
Okay great is it possible without links😢
Get the albacore tuna it’s solid you can add a little mayonnaise and black pepper to it .
Yes! Solid tuna is my 👏🏽👏🏽
How many vehicles did you start out with?
Bicana video very informative 👌
Thank you!
Kevin needs to come to the USA and do mines
He did a great job 👏🏽 👍🏽 🙌🏽 😀.
He did 👏🏽👏🏽
Up up up ting up.🙏🏼
Up 🙌🏽
Great vlog B. So I'm correct in saying the driver pays the gas and has to bring you 8k per day? Does he also jeep the vehicle overnights and weekends?
Yes that’s correct 😊
Great vid!
Thank you!
Hey Bicana, love your video but i don't get the price for tint per foot and the cost to installed it
It depends on where you buy it 😊
How do you pay the drivers? After they collect the pay for the day, do they get paid every day or once a week? Love this video
They have the weekend pay so Saturday and Sunday is their day, mon-Friday is the owners
@@BicanaBrown thank you…. I have been considering doing this. lm from the states but have friends who drive In Jamaica and he has given me the idea of doing this and then I see your video. Motivation!!!
@@aprilsmith2481Did you ever start? This is exactly why I wanna do this.
Great content 👍
Thanks for watching ☺️☺️
Bicana thanks for this video 🙂
Thank you for watching 🙌🏽
Thanks for this upload
Thank you 😊
Why so dark tint?
It’s actually not that dark 😆 it’s just right
I was thinking the same because you don't want the cops to harass the poor driver because they're clamping down on these dark tints I heard on the radio.
What length of tint did you need for the probox?
I honestly don’t remember. You can ask the individual that will do the tint application or when you go to buy it, the seller can give you an estimate☺️
Blessings Princess 👸🏽 B🙏🏽🆙so do you recommend your taxi company? I’ve been trying to find out for a while now. Thank you.
Yes, I’m still waiting on your message 😊
I like this video
Thank you 😊
Can you be in the USA using the app?
Yes
@@BicanaBrown thanks
Hi Bicana was the taxi operation feasible for you? Ive seen so many people having issues with getting a good driver.
Yes it is! Once you find a good and responsible driver 🫶🏽
@@BicanaBrown thanks for the reply. Im holding off because its not easy. Message me if you have any recommendations lol. Hope you are loving the new job :-). Peace n love!
Thanks B 💯💯
💕🙌🏽
Enjoy the video
Thank you 🙏🏽
HI Bicana, did you get a new car?
A new taxi 😊
Good job i like this u can start a mis b tours aswell
Loading 🇯🇲🚕
Appreciate it video
🫶🏽
Bicana, are you still in business? I tried to connect with you on IG and it didn’t work.
I no longer have Instagram 😊
Trust trust you would be lucky if you find a grateful 🙏 individual
That’s true!
Thank you!
😊
Where is kevin located?
I’ll ask him and let you know if he wants to do any tinting 😊
Thanks bro
No problem
Any business I'm starting going forward I have to be home
Amen!! 🏡
How many taxis do you have Bicana?
My mom and I have a couple on the road 😊
Will this be a private taxi ??
No, they’re public passenger vehicles; however, under their licenses they can be chartered privately.
A lot of legit taxi running without a tracker. So its not a must
It’s a must when the vehicle is a red plate. It’s literally a requirement but if the owner doesn’t want to do that then that’s their risk because people steal vehicles all the time and if anything happened with your vehicle having the tracker provides a lot of info ie accident impact, exact time code location and driver trip details 😊
I love you ❤️💖💖❤️
Let a man check for u.Remember they just price because ur a woman
No because men can get played too…it’s always best to ask several different people and pay attention to how the market is running.
Comprehensive 😆 🤣 😂
😂
Keeping it real poverty to millionaire

🙌🏽😊
Hi Bicana, I've been trying to reach out to you in reference to a very important inquiry! Pls check your email and dm pls!
How many vehicles can operate under one road license? I dont understand
It’s one road license per vehicle. Transport authority and other relevant websites are linked in the description box.
