PCO Car Hire London – Uber Ready
Are you hoping to start working as an Uber driver in London? Have you got everything in place, except for an appropriate vehicle?
Westgate’s Uber PCO car hire service aims to get you on the road and working as quickly as possible. Our vehicles come fully licensed to work with Uber, fully insured, and can be hired based on flexible weekly contracts.
Whether this is your first time working for Uber or you’re a seasoned veteran driver, our fleet of vehicles is ready for you to use whenever you need.
Why choose Westgate for Uber car hire?
Uber has a range of relatively strict requirements in terms of which vehicles you’re allowed to use, and getting your hands on a car that meets those requirements can be difficult.
It’s confusing, requires filling in a lot of forms and doing a lot of tests, and if you’re buying the vehicle, it can end up costing you a lot of money.
Here at Westgate car hire, we provide vehicles that are ready to drive with platforms like Uber, without the fuss and at an affordable rate.
Our team handles pretty much everything vehicle-related, including servicing, licensing, MOTs, repairs and breakdown support. You just need to provide us with some basic documents at the beginning, and then pay your weekly rental costs.
Other than that, all you need to do is get registered with Uber and you’re ready to start driving.
A perfect range of vehicles for driving with Uber
Not every Uber driver wants to drive the same vehicle. You might want a more premium car to provide an UberLux experience, or a larger car to work as an UberXL driver.
No matter your requirements, you’ll be able to find the perfect option in our fleet. All of them are licensed and ready to go, and you can even switch vehicles every now, and then until you find your perfect driving niche.
Whichever one you choose, you can rest assured that it’s fully roadworthy, compliant, and should anything go wrong, it won’t be your financial burden to take care of.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work if my car breaks down?
If anything happens to your car, we will provide you with a replacement vehicle as soon as possible, so that you’re not left unable to work. Our team will also sort out the repair of the vehicle, as part of the car hire service.
Are all your vehicles Uber-approved?
All of our vehicles come with a completed PCO license, meeting both Uber and TfL’s meticulous standards. You can legally use our vehicles with Uber, Wheely, Bolt and a range of other private hire driving apps.
How long does the hire process take?
If you can pay for a vehicle and have the right license to work as a private hire driver, the PCO car hire process at Westgate shouldn’t take more than a day or two to navigate.
One of our main goals as a service provider is to streamline things as much as possible for our clients, so that you can get to work for a company like Uber as quickly as reasonably possible.
Do you have a minimum hire period?
Our minimum rental term is not long, just 4 weeks. After that initial period is over, you can continue your rental for as long as you need on a rolling weekly basis, and cancel whenever you want. This flexibility is perfect for many drivers, who want to ensure they aren’t constrained by a contract that traps them as their driving needs change.
Is there a minimum age to hire a car from Westgate?
You must be at least 24 years old to hire a PCO car from Westgate as a prospective Uber driver. If you are under the age of 25, it’s possible that a young driver’s fee may be applied to your insurance policy.
What documents do I need to provide Westgate with?
To hire an Uber ready PCO vehicle from Westgate, you will need to provide us with:
- A valid UK driving licence that you’ve held for at least three years
- An active PCO license, issued by Transport for London (TfL)
- Proof of your current address (this could be a bank statement or utility bill)
- Your DVLA check code to allow us to verify your driving history
If you’re unsure how to get any of these, don’t stress. Reach out to our team, and we can guide you through all of the necessary steps. We’ve made the process as simple as possible, and aim to provide assistance at every step in the car hire journey.
How much will it cost?
Exactly how much each vehicle costs per week will differ slightly based on your driving experience, location and age. All of these factors will have an impact on insurance costs, which are included in our service.
If you want a personalised quote based on your specific details, reach out and we’ll provide you with one.
Do you have cars that are suitable for UberXL?
Yes. If you want to hire a vehicle that will allow you to drive for UberXL, you’ll find that our Kia Sorento 2 is a perfect option, providing you with much more ride comfort compared to regular people carriers.
Can I use a Westgate Hire vehicle for Uber Exec?
Yes. If you’re looking to hire a luxury vehicle that’s perfect for Uber Exec, something like the Mercedes 300e AMG Line should be ideal. It makes a great impression, while the plug-in hybrid option keeps fuel costs down.
