Is it permissible to transport people in a car for money without a taxi license?

It is permissible for a person to carry another on his beast or in his car for a fare agreed upon at the time of the contract, as it is a known and customary benefit. The rulings pertaining to the hiring of beasts of burden apply to modern means of transportation such as cars and airplanes, while taking into consideration common practice in determining the passenger, the luggage he may carry, and the entitlement to the fare. The lack of a taxi license does not prevent this from being permissible, as he is the owner of the car itself and its benefit.
