The Status of Those Who Rent Taxis
In recent times, various developments have occurred regarding the SKK (Social Security Institution) status of individuals working in commercial taxis, protecting the rights of drivers and employees. Individuals who rent commercial taxi plates and employ others for a certain fee, either full-time or part-time, are definitely considered insured. In such situations, it is imperative that the insurance for these individuals is arranged by the vehicle renters and business owners as soon as possible. Meanwhile, individuals who drive rental vehicles have the right to defend their rights and benefit from social security in the most effective ways. As is known, the taxi profession is one of the best investment and complementary business sectors, but due to its high demand, commercial taxi plate prices are quite costly, which leads people to rent.
How to Apply
Individuals who wish to be included in this necessary insurance coverage must apply through the SGK (Social Security Institution) website, get approval from the professional chambers or cooperatives to which the public transportation vehicle owners are affiliated, and sign a contract between the vehicle owner and the driver. They must also apply to the provincial social security directorates. The declarations of commercial vehicle owners and the approval of the chambers to which they are affiliated must also be obtained; otherwise, registration notices without approval will not be processed. In general, if individuals work for more than one vehicle owner within a month, or if a new public transportation vehicle owner starts working, the necessary employment contracts must be submitted to the SGK as soon as possible after research and within a certain period for each vehicle owner. According to the Highway Traffic Regulation, individuals who operate commercial taxis by renting them from their owners can benefit from these services in the most effective ways by taking out insurance in their own names, for their own account, and at their own risk. To arrange these, it is sufficient to apply to the provincial Social Health Security institutions with the necessary documents, and accordingly, the necessary services are utilized in the shortest possible time.
