Driver Hire for Our Partner Minicab Operators
We are hiring drivers on behalf of our partner minicab operators across South London and beyond. Many of these licensed operators have more bookings than drivers on the road, while many drivers are stuck with one firm and not enough jobs. Register with us once and we'll introduce you to the partner operators whose work suits your licensing authority, your vehicle and the hours you want to drive.
We are an introduction service, not your employer. You remain self-employed and work directly with the operator we match you with on their standard terms. There is no charge to register, and no obligation to accept a match that isn't right for you.
What You Need to Register
Have these ready when you call:
- A current private hire driver licence (TfL PCO licence, or the equivalent from your local council outside London)
- A full UK driving licence, held for a minimum of 3 years
- A valid, up-to-date Enhanced DBS check
- The right to work in the UK
- You must have a licensed and insured private hire vehicle, either your own or one arranged through us or a partner operator.
- A working knowledge of your local area and main routes
