Question
Hello, I was looking for a taxi driver to travel from Jerusalem to Herzliya, my workplace, and I mentioned generally that it would be for several months. All taxi companies wanted 300 shekels. After some time, one of the companies connected me with a cheaper driver, who is comfortable with this route, and he asked for 270 shekels. I started traveling with him and made 13 trips, which was a month including the holidays. Now someone offered me a cheaper driver who charges 240 shekels. My question is, is it fair to leave the first driver?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
If an agreement was made for a specific period, it is forbidden to leave them in the middle of the period.
However, if nothing was agreed upon, it is permissible to switch to a cheaper company.
