What we do (and who it’s for)
Join Veritas Hire rents PHV-ready cars to working drivers around Manchester and Salford. Most drivers coming to us want a straightforward saloon that’s comfortable for city miles and ready for app work.
If you’re a Wolverhampton-badged driver doing Manchester work (or planning to), we can talk you through what’s involved and what costs usually hinge on.

- Be a licensed PHV driver (we don’t rent to non-licensed drivers).

If you live more than 50 miles away, we won’t be able to offer a rental.
What affects taxi rental cost (no fixed prices)
When drivers ask about “prices”, what they really need is the list of things that push the weekly figure up or down. The main ones are:
- Vehicle type and age: different models and specs cost different amounts to run and maintain.
- Automatic vs manual: a lot of Manchester drivers prefer automatic for stop-start traffic, which can affect the rental figure.
- Hybrid vs petrol/diesel: hybrids are popular for city work and airport runs; running costs and demand can influence what you pay.
- How you’re using it: full-time app work, higher mileage, and shift patterns can change what’s suitable and therefore what’s offered.
- What’s available at the time: the car choices we have that week can affect the options we can quote on.
- Driver details and checks: we’ll ask the basics needed to set you up properly and responsibly.
If you tell us your badge council and postcode, we can usually narrow it down quickly and talk through the best fit for your work.
Vehicles drivers usually go for
We typically provide PHV saloons suitable for Uber and Bolt, such as:
- Toyota Prius (and similar hybrids)
- Skoda Octavia
- Kia Ceed
These are examples rather than promises — it depends what’s in fleet and ready at the time you enquire.
What to have ready (so you don’t lose a day)
- Your badge council (e.g., Wolverhampton) and whether it’s current.
- Your home postcode (to confirm you’re within our area).
