Ot Rotherham Taxis

Do you not rent a car on your visits, Sota? Think it probably works out cheaper than taxis and more convenient. I'm over from January 19 to Feb 9 and picking a car up from Avis at Heathrow and dropping it back there when I return. Can't remember what the full price was but I'm using some BA miles (Avios - I have their Chase credit card for general shopping) and the cost after that is $330 for the three weeks.

That's a very good price CT. Without any rewards I'm paying $780 for a 'VW Passat or similar" for 19 days but that is over the Christmas period. I originally paid $950 with Avis but after a while saw a better price with Europcar. I thought these were pretty good prices around $40-$50/day as in Hawaii this summer they were asking $200/day.

We have use of a car when we're darn sarf and may well hire one for the rest of the trip. To be honest, all the speed cameras bother me a bit as we have virtually none here and I'm not used to them. I'm not a speeder by any means but a lapse in concentration or 5mph over and bam! Not only that but 90% of the socialising involves getting p!ssed lol so taxis and Uber might be best :-)

That's good value CA.

Sounds like I might even be able to pick up a few quid moonlighting as a taxi while I'm there

Your prices sound fine, CAM. Had I not used airmiles my daily rate would have been about $35/day but that’s outside the Xmas season.

Good point about drinking and driving Sota!

Rotherham taxi and kebab shops are just full off groomers

But it wasn't labour's fault for turning a blind eye

For any Asianephobics, Crystal Taxis in Dalton only use white British drivers, 95% white South Yorkshire actually, very undiverse but I guess theres q market for them.
