    eek i spend about 10 quid a day for work, i only do 2 nights a week, but i plan on working during the week in the city soon, which will be about another 10 quid a day on trains, then about 10 quid in taxis, say 15 to be safe, so if i add it up £95 a week, that is just for work, i use taxi's wen doin errends too, so id say £120 on travel per week on average that would be, thats just over £6k a year!!. so im gonna save up to do my lessons and driving test, then save for a car, eek ><

    I spend just as much on cabs to/from work but am in no rush to get a car. I drink at the club, so i'm better off spending on taxi's than risk driving from work tipsy, especially after a great $$$$ night!

    If I work in my hometown, £7 taxi that's it....Different story if I work elsewhere though.I tend to either drive (which I hate as it means I can't drink) or get a lift which =however much petrol £ to them.

    I have a car but rarely drive to work. Taxis are much safer than cars! One of my regulars got my home address from my license plate number. After that, it was a long while before I drove to work again. But yes, cabs are expensive...I spend around 120 a week on them. But my safety is priceless

    Why not take public transportation one way? (at least TO the club) Bus passes are relatively cheap ... I live in a huge city and its only $115 per month here

    I get public transport to work and since being at my current club (about 3 months) haven't had to get a cab home once. Usually get a lift with another dancer or a manager, couple of times I've caught the bus home with the DJ who happens to live near me. Even if I did cab it home I'd share with other girls to make it cheaper.

    This is what I do at most clubs, maybe I've just had good luck working in friendly places and/or having good public transport near by.

    OMG before I got my car I would spend $80 one way on a cab to dance 50 mins away from where I live. I'd go with a gf so I would pay one way, she would pay one way. That combined with my floor fee of $20 set me back $100.00 a night. Luckily the club I work at is easy to make money at. I would just think of it as U have to spend money to make money? It would make me work extra hard as well.

    Thank god I have a car now tho!!

    When I was dancing in Dallas I would pay like $40 each way and occasionally would have to stop at dance stores , walgreens and supermaket . Maybe you should get a rental in the mean time?

    I don't think you've calculated this correctly. The approximate costs PER MONTH for a car would be:
    $200+ car payment (unless you saved up & bought it in cash)
    $200+ insurance
    $200 to $400 gas
    $100 maintenance & fees
    $100+ per month just to park

    That's probably an average of $850+ a month ($200+ per week) just to own & operate a car. Not worth it to me personally, but then I purposely don't drive because it would be a hassle to own a car in my city.

    i never did the cab thing but let me tell you i drive to and from work which is about 15mins away, paying for parking in the city SUCKS. during the week its $14 for 7 hours and weekends it's $7 (which i don't mind) but say i work like mondays or tuesdays and they are slow days (especially during the summer or rainy days when no one comes to the club) i feel like i'm paying the garage half of what i made... if i make it. i usually work about 5 days a week so im paying $57 in parking at least and that's not counting the gas to drive through the city where people drive like morons.
    sometimes i think taking a cab or bus might be cheaper! you should keep an eye on parking prices if you club doesn't have parking and all that.

    I spend roughly around £90 per week on cabs to and from work.
    I've thought about getting a car but the cost to run one would work out alot more than what I currently pay, so for now I'm sticking with cabs and other public transport.

    If you build a good rapport with a cabbie they will give you deals. I take cabs when I travel in towns I can't drive in or don't know the area well. I'll get a cool ones card and ask them if I use them every day( two fares) will they give me a deal? I just called the one I met toward the end of my last trip who took me and my friend to the airport for 40, would've been 70 and told him I was going to be there alone this time and could we work something out because 40 a day is steep being by myself. He called right back and said no problem you took such good care of me last time I'll work with you. So give that a try.

    Well, I never used a taxi or it'd cost me 150$ a day... So instead I used the club drivers. It's 40$ each way but they only make me pay the return trip, + tip, so 45$.
    I'm starting at a new club tonight, it's not super far but it'll still cost 20-30$ taxi each way. Bah. I don't drive though. Hate it! Can't wait to move to the city.

    I bought my car off a customer and he only charged me $2000 so my car is paid off but when I was making payments my car cost as follows;

    $200 car payment
    $110 insurance
    $80+ a week x 4 = $320
    $120 every other month for oil/filter change (its a VW)= $60
    $100 parking
    = $790 (which is now $590 without the carpayment)

    So ya about $600 a month, which is still cheaper than what I was spending on cabs.

    Try getting a driver and work out a flat rate with him there and back to the club.
    Always try to get a flat rate each time your in a cabbie.

    Try cabbing with another girl, or if a girl drives your way ask her if she could but dont be pushy and offer her a reasonable amount.

    If you can try saving money by taking public transportation, if you live a big city Im sure this wouldnt be a problem, you'll save a lot of money this way. A 50$ cabbie from work to my work is less than 4$ with public transportation.
