This kind of business is one of the easiest to setup. You only need to (1) purchase the vehicle, (2) register, and (3) get a franchise from LTFRB, and you’re off. You can also (4) apply for “drivers and operators association” membership. Well, the purchasing part isn’t that easy though, because you have to contemplate on whether buying a second hand is practical thing than brand new. Let me give you some idea so you can weigh the pros and cons.
Second hand
Pros:
- It’s a lot cheaper
- You can even get a free line franchise on the package price
- If you’re lucky, you can get the new registration and insurance for free.
- Negotiable – you can haggle with the vendor on the lowest possible price.
- Hey, why not include that nice stereo in the package?!
Cons:
- Some parts needs to be fixed or changed before you can use it
- Operation maintenance is high
- Depreciation cost is high
- Will only be operational for a few more years.
Brand new
Pros:
- Sparkingly beautiful and smells fresh!
- Almost maintenance free for at least 2 years.
- Depreciation cost is low.
- Will still be in top shape (with good maintenance) for the next 6 years.
Cons:
- Expensive
- Additional cost for registration and insurance.
- Additional cost for franchise application at LTFRB.
- Additional cost for taxi meter.
- Additional cost for association memberships (TODA, PISTON, etc.).
- Prone to carnappers.
It is always a good idea to drive the vehicle yourself for maximum ROI. If you don’t know how to drive, look for a trusted driver. More advice from Reyna Elena.

tanong ko lang po kung may minimum units ba ang isang taxi franchise? may nakita ako sa ads na taxi for sale (w/ franchise) pero single unit siya. pwede ba yun – isang unit lang ang franchise? salamat
Hello po magtatanong lang po sana ako kung saan pwede makakuha ng hulugan na tricycle? gusto ko po sanang kumuha kahit 2 or 3 gives sana ireregalo ko sana sa tatay ko nandito po ako sa US. salamat po
@Criselda, karamihan sa mga motorcycle dealers, gaya ng motortrade, ay nagbibigay ng hulugan. inquire ka na lang sa kanila directly for the terms and other requirements.

email me plz – mira_sept3@yahoo.com
Mira,
Sorry to discourage you. Pero wala pa akong alam na operator na nag succeed sa business na ito kung walang alam sa pagmemekaniko at pagmamaneho – at alam ang buhay kalsada. Para sa akin better stop while it’s still early. Otherwise, maghanap ka ng operations manager na mapagkatiwalaan mo.
@Mira part tlga ng business n msira jeep mo.. kung tingin mo matino driver mo, baka nmn sa spare parts na nakakabit or pde rin hindi magaling mekaniko mo or 2nd hand mo binili na tlgang palitin n yung pyesa mo.. tyaga tyaga k lang.. ;p
