Fed up working for someone who treats you like a number?
Want to work for a company that recognise you as a person?
If you answered yes to both questions then Akar Taxis may be for you.

Akar Taxis are looking for drivers to join their ever increasing company, working with existing drivers delivering excellent service.
Experience is preferred but will consider anyone who meets our high standards. You will be of smart appearance with excellent local knowledge and be a good communicator. The ideal people can work as part of a team and also able to work on their own initiative.
All our drivers are licensed by the local authorities so the relevant licences are required. If help is needed with these Akar Taxis may be able to help.

Akar Taxis offer a very competitive pay structure which is self-employed based. Vehicle and all running costs are supplied by Akar Taxis so there is no overheads from yourself. You just get in drive and earn.

If interested please email to:-

giving as much information about yourself as possible.

Look forward to hearing from you.

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.
