No experience is needed to work as a taxi driver, but driving experience will be useful.
Taxi drivers should be in reasonably good health and have a good driving record and no criminal record. In general, they must be 21 years of age or older to drive a taxicab. While driving is not physically strenuous, they will occasionally be asked to lift heavy packages or luggage. They should have especially steady nerves if they work in a big city because they will spend considerable time driving in heavy traffic. They must also be courteous, patient, and able to get along with many different kinds of people.
Taxi drivers who own their own cab or lease one for a long period of time are generally expected to keep their cab clean. Large companies have workers who take care of this task for all the vehicles in the company fleet.
