Information only

Private Hire Hub provides general information and practice materials to help people prepare for taxi and private hire licensing in the UK. It is not legal advice. Licensing rules, fees and assessment formats change and vary by council — always confirm the current details with the relevant licensing authority before you apply or pay anything.

Not affiliated

We are independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of Transport for London, the DVSA, any local council, or any government body. Council names and links are used for identification only.

Accuracy of council data

We work hard to keep our council fees and requirements accurate and show a “last verified” date on each council page. Even so, details can change at any time and some figures may be out of date — the official council page linked on each page is always the authority.

SERU practice

Our SERU questions are original practice questions written to cover the same public syllabus (TfL's PHV Driver's Handbook). They are not the official assessment questions, and using them does not guarantee a pass. Always study the official Handbook and confirm requirements with TfL.

Calculators

Our fuel and earnings calculators give rough estimates to help you plan. They are not financial advice and do not account for tax, National Insurance or every cost. Your actual costs and earnings will differ.

Affiliate links

We only recommend products we believe are genuinely useful, but we don't test every item and aren't responsible for third-party products or sellers. Prices shown are a guide only.
