What is private hire?
Licensed, pre-booked — the smarter way to travel
Private hire vehicles (PHVs) are licensed taxis that must be pre-booked — they cannot legally pick up passengers hailing from the street. Every private hire driver must hold a licence issued by their local council, carry hire and reward insurance, and pass a DBS check.
Joe Maxi Taxis is a pre-booking service — which makes it the perfect way to book private hire. Enter your journey, and licensed PHV drivers near you are notified instantly.
