is there a high turn over of cab drivers in Vegas? how hard would it be for someone out of town to get hired? are their some months were you make more money then others?

Asked by pensacola cabby over 11 years ago

the average turnover for a cab driver is 60% so yea its pretty high. if you want to be a cab driver they used to require you to have lived in the las vegas area for a year however i think all you need now is residency. the summer months and the major religous holidays are pretty slow ie christmas easter and such, thanksgiving is not good either but other than that it's pretty good the first quarter of the year is by far the busiest

On my last visit to Las Vegas I struck up a conversation with an off duty female driver. Any way to track her down. I know her first name began with an N, last name with a G and she was from the Philippines. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just got back from Vegas and IT HAPPENED AGAIN! A $12.75 fare and I gave him $15 (reasonable) and he whines about it, then tells me to get the hell out of his cab when I tell him "Sry, I'm not rich." Was I too cheap? Attitude was WAY out of line!

Asked by Tim over 11 years ago

I agree the attitude is WAY out of line, like I said before you are in no way obligated to tip a driver! The tip here is a little over 10% I myself would like to have more but I understand when it doesnt happen. You were definatly not to cheap if this happens again and it offends you call the taxi authority and report the driver!!
