All operators, drivers and
vehicles of Private Vehicle Hire Services in London are required to obtain a
Private Hire Licence from the London Public Carriage Office (PCO). This is the
same office that licences the world famous London Taxi Drivers and now
regulates Private Hire Vehicle services in London to ensure greater safety for
the travelling public. Certain requirements must be met to be granted a
licence. Attaining these requirements should pose no difficulty for bona-fide
and professional organisations. There is no limit to the number of Private Hire
Licences issued, therefore a Private Hire Operator/Driver without a licence is
illegal and subject to criminal prosecution. More information about licencing
is available from the London PCO by clicking:
