How many hours do you have to have to get hired for a small charter, or a air taxi. with a Private Pilot Lics.

Answer 1

You may be hired with a Private Pilot Certificate, but it won't be as a pilot. - you will need a Commercial Certificate or higher for that.

Sec. 61.113  Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (g) of this

section, no person who holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft.

To save you the trouble of reviewing the remainder of the part of the FARs, paragraphs (b) through (g) do not apply to the situation you described in your question.
