What is a PCO licence?
A PCO licence is issued for drivers, vehicles and operators to prove that they have passed a series of tests and are complying with the strict regulations required by law.
Each licence is separate. You as a Private hire driver will require a licence. The vehicle you use will also require licensing and so will the company you work for. Without any these licences you and/or the company you are working for would be breaking the law. The PCO carry out regular inspections of operators premises and also random roadside checks of drivers and their vehicles.
New licences can take about 16 weeks, depending on receipt of a clear CRB. We issue renewal applications before the existing licence expires.
Many private hire drivers go on to benefit from the freedom of working for themselves, as a self-employed person, who can choose their own hours and work, at any time of day or night.
In London every licenced private hire driver must be connected to a licenced private hire operator, such as Angels Cars. In London there are many minicab companies to work for, large and small, cash and account, busy and quiet. The trick is finding one which has a fine balance. Here at Angels Cars, we have a great circuit, with excellent cash to account jobs ratio. Earnings regualrly top £1000 for many of our drivers.

Driver Salary
How much money will I earn once I’m licensed?
Considering a 50 hour week you can make anything from £1000 to £1800 possibly more depending on how much effort you are willing to put in. Drivers will of course be rewarded with tips for providing that extra special service by doing the simple things like helping carry luggage and keeping their car spotlessly clean.
As in any business you will find tha
t there are quieter periods and busier periods. You will find that there are more Airport pick up’s and drop off’s during the school holidays but there will be less pub and office runs due to people being away on holiday or spending time with their families.
December is always a busier month with lot of work over the festive period and as passengers tend to be more generous with their tips at this time of year you will of course find that you earn more.
You will have to take into consideration that you will not get any holiday or sick pay as you are self employed as a minicab driver so if you don’t work for whatever reason you don’t get paid.

PCO Licence Cost
How much will becoming a PCO driver cost me?
The fee for your personal PCO licence will cost you £306.00 However there are other costs involved. Your GP will charge you for the required medical examination.
The cost of this does vary but will be somewhere in the region of £60 to £120. The cost of sitting your Topographical Skills Assessment is between £30 and £50.
You then need to decide if you are going to licence your own vehicle.
The fee for a vehicle licence is currently £114.00 and for Fully Comprehensive Hire and Reward Insurance you are going to be paying between £2000 and £3000 per year depending on your age and other factors such as having a clean driving licence and no driving convictions.
Of course you don’t have to PCO your own vehicle, you could hire one that’s already PCO’d and possibly insured as well.
You can hire a car ready to minicab in from around £150 per week.

Applicants must be over 21 years of age and to have held a Full UK or EU Driving License for at least 3 years. You must pass a full medical and sight test to satisfy the PCO that you are fit do drive professionally.
Minicab drivers are to be over 21 years old, and may drive so long as fit and well to do so. There is no age cap on the upper limit
Presentable and customer focused are good traits to have, while legally there will be a CRB check on all PCO Driving Job applications. It is your responsibility to pursue this check which is made via the Criminal Records Bureau, part of the Home Office.
Medical fitness
You need to be fit and well, with evidence from a GP. The medical standard is the DVLA Group 2 Standard. Ask your GP for a medical examination to that standard.
