If you’re a licensed private hire driver and you’re working around Manchester/Salford, we can usually tell you quickly if we can help. This guide explains our eligibility rules and what to have ready before you get in touch.
At a glance
- PHV drivers only: we only rent to licensed private hire (taxi) drivers.
- Badges we accept: Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester councils.
- Where you live matters: you must live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford.
- Work platforms: our cars are suitable for Uber and Bolt.
- What we’ll ask for: your badge council and your home postcode.
What we do (and who it’s for)
Join Veritas Hire rents PHV cars to working drivers based around Manchester/Salford. It’s aimed at drivers who want a straightforward rental they can use for private hire work locally, including Uber and Bolt.
If you’ve already got your Wolverhampton badge and you’re actively driving (or ready to start), this is the sort of rental setup we deal with day-to-day.
Eligibility rules: badge + where you live
We keep this simple, because it saves everyone time:
- Badge: we only accept PHV badges from Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester councils.
- Home address: you need to live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford.
Common confusion we see: your badge council isn’t the same thing as where you work. Plenty of drivers work in Manchester with a Wolverhampton badge — that can be fine. What we check is (1) your badge council is on our accepted list, and (2) your home postcode is within our local radius.
If you live more than 50 miles away, we won’t be able to offer a rental.
Vehicle types we typically rent
We provide standard PHV-friendly saloons that are a good fit for city and motorway work. Examples of vehicles we may have include:
- Toyota Prius
- Skoda Octavia
- Kia Ceed
- Similar PHV saloons
Stock changes, so we’ll always talk you through what’s available when you enquire.
What to have ready (so we can confirm quickly)
- Your badge council (e.g., Wolverhampton) and confirmation you’re a licensed PHV driver
- Your home postcode (this is how we check the 50-mile requirement)
- The platforms you plan to use (Uber/Bolt)
- Rough idea of when you want to start (even a week/month is helpful)
Next steps
Send us your badge council and home postcode and we’ll confirm whether you’re eligible to rent with us. If you’re eligible, we’ll then talk through what cars are available and what you’ll need to bring along.
