Is it permitted to drive passengers for hire in a private passenger car?
- Yes, if a contract is signed between the driver and the passengers
- Yes, if the vehicle is equipped with a standard chassis, approved by the Licensing Authority
- Correct answer: No
- No, except with a permission of the Tax Authorities
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: No
A private passenger car is not meant for carrying passengers for hire, so it is forbidden to carry passengers for hire in it. This kind of carriage is done in a public vehicle that has a suitable licence, such as a taxi. A contract between the driver and the passenger, or a permission from the Tax Authorities, does not turn a private car into a vehicle in which passengers may be carried for hire.
