We rent PHV cars to licensed drivers with accepted badges, living within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford. #PHV #Manchester #TaxiDriver
If you’re trying to sort a rental quickly, the main thing is whether your badge council is one we accept and whether you live close enough to Manchester/Salford. This page lays it out clearly, without the back-and-forth.
At a glance
- PHV drivers only (we don’t rent for personal use).
- Accepted badge councils: Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester.
- You must live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford.
- Cars suitable for Uber and Bolt (subject to the platform’s own requirements).
- To check you in: your badge council + your home postcode.
What we do (and who it tends to suit)
Join Veritas Hire provides PHV-friendly cars for working private hire drivers around Manchester and Salford. Most drivers come to us when they want a straightforward rental they can use for day-to-day private hire work, including Uber and Bolt.
If you’re already licensed and just need a suitable car to get on the road, that’s the job we do.
Badge, work area and where you live (the bit that confuses people)
This catches a lot of drivers out, so here’s the simple version:
- Badge council: we can only rent to you if your PHV badge is from Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester.
- Where you work: you can still work in Manchester even if your badge is from one of the other accepted councils (loads of drivers do).
- Where you live: we only rent to drivers who live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford.
If you live more than 50 miles away, we won’t be able to offer a rental.
Vehicles you can expect (examples)
We keep cars that make sense for private hire work: practical saloons with sensible running costs and enough comfort for long shifts. Examples of vehicles we may provide include:
- Toyota Prius (and similar hybrids)
- Skoda Octavia (and similar saloons)
- Kia Ceed (and similar)
Exact models can vary, but we’ll always talk you through what’s available and what fits your work.
What to have ready (so you don’t waste a trip)
- Your badge council (Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester)
- Your home postcode (to confirm the 50-mile rule)
- Your PHV driver badge details (a clear photo is usually easiest)
- A quick note on how you work (e.g. Uber/Bolt, days/nights) so we can suggest a sensible car type
Next steps
The quickest way is to message us with your badge council and home postcode. We’ll confirm whether you’re eligible and then talk through vehicle options for PHV work in the Manchester area.
FAQs
Can I work Manchester with a Trafford, Sefton, Knowsley or Wolverhampton badge?
Yes, drivers often work Manchester with a badge from one of our accepted councils. The key for us is that your badge council is on the accepted list and you live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford.
What if I live more than 50 miles away?
We only rent to drivers living within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford, so we wouldn’t be able to set up a rental.
Do you provide Uber/Bolt accounts or driving work?
No. We provide vehicle rental for licensed PHV drivers. Your Uber/Bolt account and work are separate.
What do you need from me to check eligibility?
Your badge council and your home postcode. If you can also send a clear photo of your badge, that helps.
What cars do you usually have?
Typical examples include Toyota Prius, Skoda Octavia and Kia Ceed (and similar PHV saloons). Availability changes, so ask and we’ll tell you what’s currently on.
