Need to hire a car with a driver for 2-3 months.. Tried to talk to taxi companies, but they only offer daily hires. Where to look for?

Rent a car and hire a driver via the classifieds and employ him through your employer.

Try companies that offer limousine services...the offer normally comes with the car and driver, what's your budget?

mm.. rent a car and employ a driver souds a bit hassle.. Tried classified - no one if offering a car with a driver. Budget - reasonable and negotiable, I mean I can pay quite an amount, the main issue is my convenience, meaning for the next three months I have a driver to take me around and wait 8am- 8pm approx.. Taxi companies dont offer service for a lengthy period.

To engage a premium service like that will cost you about $5500 - $6000 a month for a normal saloon car. If you are looking for a more luxury car like the benz e200 or BMW 5 series, will cost you about $8000 a month. Hope that answer your question.

Not sure why you are posting to a forum then. You should be posting to Comfort Delgro or TransCab or any other Taxi company, not here.

I thought the taxi driver could have been held 100% liable, if unsure, don't make the turn, wait for the light to turn in your favour.
