- Accepted badges: Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester
- You must live within ~50 miles of Manchester/Salford
- Cars suitable for Uber and Bolt (you use your own accounts)

Who this is for (and why airport work matters)
This page is for Wolverhampton-badged drivers living around Greater Manchester who mainly do airport runs and longer bookings. Airport work tends to mean early starts, late finishes, and plenty of motorway miles — so most drivers want a comfortable, sensible saloon that’s easy to live with day to day.
If you’re mixing airport trips with local work, that’s fine too. The main thing is you’re licensed, local, and using the car for private hire.
Eligibility rules we stick to
Badge: We can rent to drivers licensed by Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester councils.
Where you work vs where you’re licensed: Plenty of drivers work Greater Manchester with a Wolverhampton badge. That’s normal — we’re checking the council that issued your badge, not trying to tie you to one town.
Where you live: You must live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford. If you live further away than that, we won’t be able to offer a rental.
Vehicles you can expect (examples)

What’s available can change, but we’ll always talk you through what’s on hand and what suits your driving pattern.
What to have ready (to avoid wasted time)
- Your badge council (e.g., Wolverhampton)
- Your home postcode (to confirm you’re within range)
- Your licence details to hand (so we can confirm you’re a current PHV driver)
- A quick note on how you work: airport runs, nights/days, and whether you need an automatic
