Jawny 4,617 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 As a business, I would be cautious with one that receives a payment (rent) for use of the vehicle. Specifically, as the owner of the vehicle, I would be concerned that any liability falls to me. I’m referring to liability in regards to property damage or worse. It’s been my experience, the owner of the vehicle is the one expected to cover the costs in the event of an accident. There may be insurance as an option, but that can create another set of problems. I’ve had a bakery for many years, and there are many government agencies involved in just being "legal" with business license, permits and such. On top of that, there is the income which needs to be taxed (potentially). With regard to these vehicles, I am only guessing here, but I would imagine the LTO will also have something to say about the registration as well as the LTFRB (correct acronym?) if the driver is renting to operate as a pick up service. Even in my area, if I use a driver with my car, no problem. But if he uses his permitted multi cab he has limits on where he can take me without violating the terms of his permits. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
