Who this rental is for
This page is for drivers with a Wolverhampton private hire badge who are mainly working Greater Manchester jobs, including airport runs. If you’re doing early starts, late finishes, or a mix of local trips and terminals, having a tidy, practical PHV saloon makes day-to-day work a lot easier.
We keep things simple: PHV drivers only, and we focus on drivers who can reasonably get to us from the Manchester/Salford area.
Eligibility rules (badge, work area, and where you live)
A lot of drivers get caught out by the difference between where you’re licensed, where you work, and where you live.
- Badge: We can take Wolverhampton badges (and also Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester).
- Work area: You can still work around Manchester and the airports with one of the accepted badges.
- Home address: We only rent to drivers who live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford. If you live further than that, we won’t be able to offer a rental.
If you’re unsure, send your badge council and postcode first — it saves wasted journeys.
Cars we typically rent out (examples)
We provide everyday PHV-friendly saloons that work well for airport luggage, motorway driving, and city miles. Examples include:
- Toyota Prius
- Skoda Octavia
- Kia Ceed
- …and similar private hire saloons
Drivers doing airport work usually ask for a comfortable automatic with a decent boot, especially for longer runs and busy pick-up areas.
What to have ready before you contact us
- Your badge council (e.g., Wolverhampton) and licence details
- Your home postcode (so we can confirm you’re within range)
- Which platforms you plan to use (Uber and/or Bolt)
- Your typical pattern (airport runs, nights, days) so we can suggest a suitable car type
