work on your terms
The Basics
We send you bookings — you pick up the passenger and take payment directly.
At the end of the week, we take our cut.
You keep 40% of the fare, plus 100% of your tips.
No hidden fees. No surprises. Just a clean, simple setup.
Drive Our Car
We provide the vehicle and cover fuel, insurance, and maintenance.
No upfront costs, no stress — just turn up and drive.
Stay in Control
Choose the shifts that suit your lifestyle — early mornings, late nights, weekends, or a mix.
Change your availability as needed. If you’re reliable, we’ll keep you busy.
Money
We’ll help you choose the best hours based on what you want to earn.
Most drivers aim for £400–600 a week on a steady schedule. £800+ a week is absolutely possible if you’re ready to put in the hours — and that’s your share of the fares, with fuel and insurance already covered.
24/7 Support
Our experienced control team is always on hand.
We’ll help you plan your day, deal with any issues, and make sure you know what's happening.
What you Need
You must be over 21 to be insured.
You'll need a Private Hire Licence (That’s about £400 via Canterbury City Council)
No badge yet? We’ll guide you through the whole process.
Getting Started
Already have a licence? You could be earning this week.
New to the game? Your licence will take about 6 weeks.
