Bolt Car Hire London – Uber Ready
Are you looking to drive for Bolt in London? Have you sorted everything, except for an appropriate vehicle?
Here at Westgate Hire, our main goal is to get you the perfect vehicle for your private hire driving needs, as quickly and stress-free as reasonably possible.
Why use Westgate for Bolt PCO car hire?
For a vehicle to be eligible for use with Bolt, it needs to meet a number of strict requirements. Finding a reliable, affordable vehicle that meets these standards can be exceptionally difficult, which is where our service comes in.
Here at Westgate Hire, we provide fully compliant vehicles that are ready to be used from the get-go. So long as you can afford the small deposit and the first week’s rental costs, you will be able to access a wide range of vehicles, depending on your personal and professional preferences.
We don’t just provide you with a car. We handle vehicle repairs, licensing, insurance, MOTs, and breakdown support, leaving you with the sole task of actually driving the vehicle and managing your day-to-day work with Bolt.
Many drivers find that having this kind of support makes working as a private hire driver much less stressful, helping to transform it into a truly sustainable and rewarding career.

Not all Bolt drivers will want to provide exactly the same service, or drive exactly the same vehicle.
Whether you’re looking for a premium vehicle to drive for Bolt Luxury, or a 7-seater to drive for Bolt XL, you’ll find the perfect car for your needs in our fleet.
Each of our vehicles is fully approved to drive with Bolt, meaning that if you want to change at some point in your contract to try out another vehicle, you absolutely can.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all your vehicles Bolt-approved?
Yes. All of our cars come with a full PCO license, meaning that they meet both Transport for London and Bolt’s vehicle standards. You can also legally drive our vehicles with Uber, Wheely, or most other private hire companies.
How does it work if my car breaks down?
In the event that your vehicle breaks down, we will get you sorted with a replacement vehicle as soon as we can, to keep you on the road. Our team will then take care of diagnosing and repairing your regular vehicle, all as part of the PCO car hire service.
How old do I have to be to use Westgate’s Bolt PCO car hire service?
You have to be at least 24 years old to hire a PCO car from Westgate to drive for Bolt. If you’re under 25, you might also have to pay a young driver’s fee as part of your included insurance premium.
How long does it take to hire a car from Westgate?
So long as you have all the necessary paperwork ready on your side, we should be able to provide you with a PCO-licensed car ready for Bolt jobs in just a day or two.
Our whole aim as a car hire company is to make things as streamlined as reasonably possible for our customers, to get you on the road with minimal complications and delays.
.
Can I collect the vehicle the same day I apply?
Yes. If we receive all of the necessary documents before 12 pm, we will be able to get you on the road that same day, so long as the vehicle you require is available.
Is there a minimum hire period?
Yes, we have a minimum hire period of 4 weeks. Once that minimum period is over, you can carry on with your rental contract for as long as you want on a weekly rolling basis.
Many Bolt drivers find that this flexibility is ideal, as it allows them to adapt to other professional and personal life constraints as and when necessary.
Which documents do I need to hire a Bolt PCO car from Westgate?
If you’re hoping to hire a Bolt-approved PCO vehicle from Westgate, you’ll need to have a few documents ready, including:
- A currently valid UK driving licence that you have held for at least 3 years
- Proof of your current address (such as a recent utility bill in your name or a bank statement)
- An active PCO licence that was issued by Transport for London (TfL)
- A valid DVLA check code, so that we can officially verify your driving history
If you’re not sure how you’re going to get any of these, don’t worry. Contact a member of our team, and we’ll be able to guide you on how to get the paperwork side of things sorted, taking you through it all step by step.
Can I use your vehicles for Bolt Luxury?
Absolutely. We have several vehicles that are on Bolt’s UK Luxury list, including our BMW 530E M Sport. It provides an exceptionally comfortable ride, while the plug-in hybrid option helps keep fuel costs down a little.
Are your cars suitable for Bolt XL?
Yes. If you’re looking for a slightly larger vehicle to provide a Bolt XL service, you’ll likely find that our Kia Sorento 2 is ideal. It has ample seats and boot space, and a slightly higher ride quality compared to more ‘standard’ people carriers.
How much does a Bolt PCO vehicle cost at Westgate Hire?
Exactly how much it costs to hire a Bolt-authorised vehicle from Westgate Hire depends on the vehicle and the driver. Your age and driving experience can have a slight impact on insurance premiums, which are included as part of our rental package.
