How hard is it to become a taxi driver?

Being a taxi driver requires no formal education and lets you be your own boss and offers flexible hours. If you are successful, it also provides good pay. While the average earnings are only $10.97 per hour, experienced drivers can earn twice that. To become a successful taxi driver, you will need to get the proper training and certification, own your own taxi or work for a taxi company, and provide quality customer service while keeping you and your passengers safe.
