This page explains who we rent to, what we’ll ask for, and the easiest way to avoid a wasted trip.

What we do (and who it’s for)
Join Veritas Hire rents cars to licensed private hire drivers who need a vehicle for day-to-day PHV work in Greater Manchester — including drivers running apps like Uber and Bolt.
It tends to suit drivers who want a straightforward rental option without messing about: a PHV-appropriate car, clean paperwork, and a quick eligibility check based on the rules below.
Eligibility rules: badge + where you live
Badge: We rent only to drivers licensed by Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester councils.
Where you work vs where you’re licensed: Plenty of drivers work Manchester while holding a Wolverhampton badge. That’s fine with us — what matters is that your badge council is on the accepted list.
Where you live: You must live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford. If you live further than that, we won’t be able to offer a rental.
Vehicles you’ll typically see
We provide PHV-friendly saloons and similar cars that drivers commonly use for app work. Examples include:
- Toyota Prius
- Skoda Octavia
- Kia Ceed
- Similar PHV saloons (depending on what’s available at the time)
If you have must-haves (for example, automatic or hybrid), tell us early and we’ll let you know what’s realistic based on current stock.
What to have ready (quick checklist)
- Your badge council (e.g., Wolverhampton) and confirmation you’re currently licensed
- Your home postcode (to confirm you’re within roughly 50 miles)
- A quick note of what work you’re doing (Uber/Bolt or mixed private hire)
- Any vehicle preference you need for your shift pattern (auto/hybrid/saloon)
Next steps
The quickest way to check you’re eligible is to message or call with:
- your badge council (Wolverhampton, Sefton, Trafford, Knowsley, or Manchester)
- your home postcode
We’ll confirm whether you fit the rules and talk you through what vehicles are available to rent at the time.
FAQs
Can I work Manchester with a Wolverhampton (or Trafford/Sefton/Knowsley) badge?
Yes — we rent to drivers with badges from Wolverhampton, Trafford, Sefton, Knowsley, or Manchester, and you can work in Manchester with those badges. The key point for us is that your badge council is on our accepted list.
What if I live more than 50 miles away?
We only rent to drivers who live within about 50 miles of Manchester/Salford, so we wouldn’t be able to offer a rental in that case.
Do you provide Uber/Bolt accounts or driving work?
No — we only provide the rental vehicle. Your accounts, bookings, and work are up to you.
What do you need from me to check eligibility?
Just your badge council and your home postcode to start with. That’s the quickest way for us to confirm you fit the basic rules.
What cars do you usually have?
Common examples are Toyota Prius, Skoda Octavia, Kia Ceed, and similar PHV saloons. Availability changes, so ask and we’ll confirm what’s currently on hand.
