Right up my alley! Yes. it depends on the city. Some communities don't require much, if anything, besides a driver's license. Some city's are highly regulated.
Check with your local police department. In most communities, they are the ones who issue a cab driver's permit. In some places, the permits are county wide, and in some places it is a state function. Do a search. Suggestion: "taxicab permit, license, (your city, state).

You can use your regular auto driver's license. The cab, however, is another story. Cabs are leased for a certain amount of time from cab companies that are licensed to do that type of business. As far as your financial responsibility, you need to consult with the cab company regarding what is your rate of commission or whether you simply pay a flat fee.
Overall, I hope that you like driving in heavy traffic and all kinds of weather. What about your driving record? Cabbing is not a glamorous occupation and the pay?... Buena suerte.

Its mostly just testing written on the state your doing business in and what laws they want you to obey by, and what not ,the DMV in the city where you want to do business in will give you a hand book on the requirements on there certain laws and rules and regulations don't think is a big deal test tho mostly taxi law stuff, and of course must already have a driver license and if not for the state you are doing business in you will need to get that corrected as well, take care & good luck &good money in it tho,
hope you get your taxi buisness going
