Due to owners looking to take a step back, Akar Taxis are looking for someone to help run the business alongside other drivers and also looking for more drivers to help with the ever increasing workload.

The ideal candidate to help run the business will already have a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Licence from the Isle of Wight Council and have extensive knowledge of the taxi trade on the Island. They will be of a smart appearance, a polite mannerism, be able to work as part of a team or on own initiative and be able to manage many tasks at the same time.
This is a self-employed position.

Drivers we are looking for will be over 25 years old and under 70, due to insurance, with a full driving licence held for more than 2 years. They will also need a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Licence from the Isle of Wight Council. Help in obtaining the licence can be given to the right drivers.
Again this is a self-employed position.

If interested in any of the positions please email us at [email protected] with your details and we will get back to you.

In this day and age many people use reviews as a helpful tool as to what services or companies to.
I can assure everyone that all of our reviews are genuine. The good, the bad and the ugly ones all are genuine. None of our reviews are filtered to give 5stars only or are paid for by companies writing non-genuine reviews. Unfortunately, we do get calls from companies that offer their services to write 5 star reviews and filter all the bad reviews. We don’t believe in this practice.

The assessment will focus on completing bends without rotating, recognising early signs of inversion and maintaining a stable wheel-to-road relationship...

Unfortunately, it has been brought to my attention that there are taxis on this Island that are charging extra because of the price of fuel and also some drivers are charging for travelling to the fare. Thankfully neither of these apply to Akar Taxis as we do things the right way.

To all our customers and future customers,

With the crazy prices of petrol & diesel at the moment and the cost of everything going up due to transport cost, we at Akar Taxis can assure all that our fares will not be increasing. Our fares are governed by the local authorities and it is up to them to increase the fares not the taxi driver. If a driver says their fares have gone up due to the fuel cost, they haven’t. If the council put the fares up people will be told through social media and the press.
I hope this puts peoples mind at rest.
