Why drive with Kingston Cab London
Our phones ring around the clock with people who need a car they can rely on. Families heading to Heathrow, commuters catching an early train at Waterloo, parents booking the school run. Every one of those journeys needs a driver who turns up on time and treats passengers well.
We are a local team based on Park Road in Kingston upon Thames, so we know the area, the traffic and the regulars. You are not one name among thousands on an app. You have people at the end of the phone who know who you are.
The kind of work we book
Most of our jobs are booked in advance, which helps you plan your day around them.
- Airport runs to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City
- Station transfers to King's Cross, Waterloo, Paddington and the other London termini
- School runs during term time, with set routes and regular families
- Hotel transfers and wedding guests
- Local trips around Kingston, Surbiton, Richmond, Wimbledon and Teddington
- Bigger group jobs for drivers with a 6 seater or 7/8 seater vehicle
What you need to apply
PCO driver hire in London follows Transport for London rules, and we only work with fully licensed drivers. To join us you will need the following.
- A valid TfL private hire driver licence (often called a PCO licence)
- A full UK driving licence
- The right to work in the UK
- A TfL licensed private hire vehicle with hire and reward insurance, or a chat with us about your options
- Good local knowledge, or a willingness to learn the roads around Kingston
- A smartphone for job details and navigation
If you are still waiting for your PCO licence, get in touch anyway and we will keep your details for when it arrives.
What we offer our drivers
- Steady pre-booked work, so less time sitting and waiting
- Flexible hours that fit around your week, days, nights or weekends
- Airport jobs with flight tracking, so delays are planned for
- A friendly office team you can call at any hour
- Regular customers who ask for the same driver again
Rates and terms are agreed with each driver before you start. Call us and we will go through them openly.
Drivers with larger vehicles
Many of our bookings are for families and groups with plenty of luggage. If you drive a 6 seater MPV or a 7/8 seater, there is strong demand for your car. These drivers often cover our 6 seater taxi and 7 seater taxi bookings, along with long airport runs.
How to apply
Applying is simple. Call 020 3740 2841 or email info@kingstoncab.co.uk with your name, your PCO licence number, your vehicle details and the hours you would like to work. We will call you back to talk things through and check your documents.
Every driver is checked before their first job. We look at your TfL licence, your driving licence, your vehicle licence and your insurance, so passengers can trust every car we send.
Driving standards we keep
Passengers book us because they trust us. We ask every driver to arrive on time, keep the car clean, help with luggage and follow the booking notes. Child seats, pets and access needs are set out in each job, so you always know what to expect. You can read more about how we work on our about page.
