Frequently Asked Questions

Why PCO Car Hire?

If you’re new to the private hire industry and need some wheels to get started, then this is the scheme for you.

Equally, if your own PCO car is out of action and you need to get on the road quickly, then we can help.

What’s included

Aside from your shiny new car, you’ll get private hire insurance, road tax and our popular HD dashcams as standard.

Why Rent to Buy?


If you’re an experienced private hire driver who’s tired of endlessly renting or wants to upgrade their private hire car, this is the plan for you.

Rent to Buy is more or less what it sounds like. You pay weekly rental fees for the length of your scheme, and at the end of it, the private hire car will be fully yours.

We’ve helped thousands of private hire drivers become car owners since 2015.

How does it work?

We’ll give you access to a new private hire car at a low weekly price. You’ll have an option to add a balloon payment to your plan to shorten the contract length and once the contract length is complete, you’ll fully own the car.

Do I need good credit history?

Yes. Otto Car will do a credit check during the enquiry process.

How does PCO Car Hire work?

Our Uber-approved PCO cars are available to rent on a rolling basis. The minimum rental term is only 4 weeks.

 

 

What do I need to bring to get started?

Please bring the following:

– Deposit & first week’s rent

– Driving licence

– National insurance number

– PCO licence (original) & badge

– Proof of address (within the last 3 months and address must match your driving licence)

Are all of your cars Uber compatible?

Yes. Every PCO car is Uber and TfL-approved and ready to go.

What is the deposit?

Our deposits start from £250. This is a refundable deposit and is refunded after you return the vehicle.

We will also ask for your first week’s rent upfront.

What is the minimum rental contract?

4 weeks. After that, you can return the car at any point with one week’s notice.
