Reasons Why Taxi Jobs Are Chosen
1. Commission System
The salary system in the taxi industry is different from other industries, as it generally adopts a 'commission system'.
'Commission system' means that the salary is determined based on sales.
In other words, the more you work, the higher your salary, with top drivers earning between 7 million and 10 million yen annually.
You too can aim for a high income.

2. Shift Work
The shift work system for taxi drivers includes 'day shifts', 'night shifts', and 'alternate shifts' where you work from morning until 2 a.m. the next day.
Because it is shift work, you can freely set your days off with paid leave and shift changes.
If you choose 'alternate shifts', you will have a work pattern that combines 'work, rest, and holidays', so more than half of the month will be effectively holidays.
This is a perfect working style for those who want to value their private time.
In the Case of Day Shifts and Night Shifts
- ・One shift is 8 hours (plus a 1-hour break)
- ・Average of 22 shifts per month (including holiday work)
and you can earn efficiently with the additional night surcharge!

In the Case of Alternate Shifts
- ・Standard working hours are 14 hours and 30 minutes, with a 3-hour break
- ・Since you work two days' worth of shifts in one go,
you get a rest day and a holiday together - ・Because the working hours are long, you have more days off per month
More than half of the month is effectively holidays!

3. Training and Support System
Taxi companies offer comprehensive training and support systems for those with no experience.
About 70% of new hires for taxi driver positions are inexperienced, so various training programs, including practical and hospitality training, are provided to educate them into proficient drivers.
Additionally, the company covers the costs for obtaining the necessary ordinary license type 2 for taxi drivers and provides support for acquiring it.
Even foreign nationals with no prior experience can start with confidence.

Foreign Taxi Drivers Are
Also Active!
Japan is gaining popularity as a global tourist destination, with the number of foreign visitors increasing each year.
As a result, there is a growing demand for "tourist taxis" that support foreign travelers visiting Japan.
Foreign drivers are expected to excel in this role because they can easily communicate with foreign tourists and provide smooth support, making them highly anticipated in this field.
Female Taxi Drivers Are
Also Active!
The number of female taxi drivers nationwide is steadily increasing year by year.
The increase is due to efforts to create a more comfortable working environment for women, such as installing car navigation systems, drive recorders, and security cameras for safety, and providing female-only facilities and dormitories.
As a result of these efforts, there are currently about 10,000 female taxi drivers working across the country.
We encourage women to consider becoming a taxi driver.
