Applying for a non-standard Private Hire Vehicle licence
Who can drive a non-standard private hire vehicle
Only drivers with a valid Private Hire Driver’s Licence issued by Manchester City Council can drive a Manchester private hire or non-standard private hire vehicle at any time.
You are reminded that you must not operate a private hire vehicle until you have been issued with a current Non-Standard Private Hire Vehicle Licence and plates issued by Manchester City Council. Operating an unlicensed vehicle for private hire purposes is an offence, which can attract a fine and other serious consequences.
How long it takes to licence a non-standard private hire vehicle
Taxi Licensing estimate the application process should be completed within 5 working days of receiving all your documents and payment.
