No, we don’t provide Uber/Bolt accounts or driving work — we provide PHV car rentals for licensed drivers near Manchester/Salford. #PHV #UberDriver #Manchester
If you’re asking because you’re new to private hire, it’s a common mix-up. Platforms like Uber and Bolt are separate from the car rental side — you set up your own account and choose when/where you work.
What we do is keep the vehicle side simple for drivers who are already licensed and want a suitable PHV saloon to get on the road.
At a glance
- PHV drivers only (we don’t rent to private motorists)
- 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 (you use your own driver account)
- To check eligibility we’ll ask for your badge council and your home postcode
What we do (and who it’s for)
Join Veritas Hire rents cars to working private hire drivers who need a straightforward rental option based around Manchester/Salford.
We don’t recruit drivers or “place” you with work. Instead, we support licensed drivers who already know how they want to work — Uber, Bolt, local circuit, airport runs, or a mix — and just need a vehicle that fits PHV use.
Clearing up the common confusion: badge vs where you work vs where you live
This catches people out all the time:
- Your badge council is who licensed you (the badge you hold).
- Where you work can be Manchester/Greater Manchester even if your badge is from an accepted council elsewhere.
- Where you live matters for renting with us — we only take drivers who live within roughly 50 miles of Manchester/Salford.
Eligibility rules we stick to
To rent from us, you need to meet both of these:
- An accepted PHV badge: Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester.
- 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 PHV saloons that suit platform work in and around Manchester — typically automatics and popular driver choices. Examples include:
- Toyota Prius
- Skoda Octavia
- Kia Ceed
- Similar PHV-ready saloons
We’ll tell you what’s available when you get in touch — we don’t list specific cars as a promise.
What to have ready (so we can answer quickly)
- Your badge council (Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester)
- Your home postcode (to confirm the 50-mile area)
- A quick note on what work you do (Uber, Bolt, local bookings) so we can point you at a suitable vehicle type
Next steps
Message or call us with your badge council and home postcode, and we’ll confirm if you’re eligible and talk you through what vehicles we may have that suit Uber/Bolt style work in Manchester.
FAQs
Can I work Manchester with a Trafford/Sefton/Knowsley/Wolverhampton badge?
Yes — as long as your badge is from one of the accepted councils, you can work in Manchester. The key is that you’re properly licensed and you meet our local living requirement.
What if I live more than 50 miles away?
We won’t be able to rent to you. We keep rentals to drivers who live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford.
Do you provide Uber/Bolt accounts or driving work?
No. You set up and run your own Uber/Bolt accounts (or any other work). We provide the rental car for eligible, licensed PHV drivers.
What do you need from me to check eligibility?
Your badge council and your home postcode. That’s usually enough to confirm whether we can help.
What cars do you usually have?
Common examples are Toyota Prius, Skoda Octavia and Kia Ceed (and similar PHV saloons). Availability varies, so ask and we’ll tell you what’s on hand.
