When credit card machines were installed in cabs, did you see your tips increase, decrease, or stay about the same as before?

Asked by Cole-train almost 13 years ago

They have gone slightly down just because of the "voucher" fee. There is a $3 service charge to use a credit card in a cab that is refered to as a voucher which most people think we share in. One more reason is that we used to frequently get a $20 bill for a ride that was say $15.50 now we get like 20-30% which is still not bad but not $4.50.

Can you explain how drivers are paid in Vegas? In Illinois we lease the cab. I understand that Vegas cabbies are employees. Do you pay for gas? Do you get overtime over 40? Any benifits? What is the revenue split? Thank you!

Asked by chicago taxi about 10 years ago

There is a new lease option coming in the future nobody knows details as of yet, however now it depends on the company you work for. Drivers are full time employees with varying benefits depending on which company you work at. Drivers at some pay for fuel some do not depending on seniority booking incentives etc. The company I work for takes 65 cents for "trip charge" 0 fuel cost for driver, and up to 44%
