Wolverhampton badge and working Manchester city centre? We can help with a PHV rental if you live locally. #PHV #Wolverhampton #Manchester
If you’re licensed through Wolverhampton but you do most of your work around Manchester city centre, that’s common. The key thing is your badge council and where you live — not just where you pick up jobs.
Join Veritas Hire is based around Manchester/Salford and we rent to working private hire drivers only.
At a glance
- PHV drivers only (licensed private hire / taxi drivers)
- Badges we accept: Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester
- You must live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford
- Suitable for Uber and Bolt
- To check you quickly: your badge council + your home postcode
Who we rent to (and why this page is for you)
This is for drivers who are already licensed and just need a reliable PHV car to get on with the job — whether you’re doing city centre trips, stations, nights, or a mix.
We regularly speak to drivers who are Wolverhampton-badged but work the Manchester area. That’s fine with us as long as your badge is one of the councils we accept and you live within our local catchment.
Badge vs where you work vs where you live (common confusion)
A lot of drivers get caught out by this, so here’s the straight version:
- Your badge council is who you’re licensed with (for this page: Wolverhampton).
- Where you work can be Manchester city centre (or wider Greater Manchester) if you’re operating legally for your setup.
- Where you live matters for us because 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 provide practical PHV saloons that suit app work and city driving. Examples of vehicles we may have include:
- Toyota Prius (and similar hybrids)
- Skoda Octavia (and similar)
- Kia Ceed (and similar PHV saloons)
Ask us what’s available at the moment and what fits the work you do.
What to have ready (so we can say yes/no quickly)
- Your badge council (e.g. Wolverhampton) and confirmation you’re currently licensed
- Your home postcode (to confirm you’re within ~50 miles)
- A quick note on the platforms you’re using (Uber, Bolt, or both)
- Any preference on car type (e.g. hybrid/auto, boot space)
Next steps
Message us with your badge council and home postcode and we’ll confirm if you’re eligible to rent with us. If you are, we’ll talk you through what vehicles are currently available and what you’ll need to bring.

What do you need from me to check eligibility?
Your badge council and your home postcode. That lets us confirm the main requirements quickly.
What cars do you usually have?
Common examples include Toyota Prius, Skoda Octavia, and Kia Ceed (or similar PHV saloons). Availability varies, so it’s best to ask what’s in at the time.
