PCO Licensed Drivers in Surbiton
Every Surbiton Cab journey is carried out by a PCO licensed driver. In London, private hire drivers are licensed by Transport for London (TfL), and the licence is still widely known as a "PCO licence" after the old Public Carriage Office. A driver cannot legally carry pre-booked passengers in London without one.
When you book with us, whether it is a short hop to Surbiton station, a Heathrow transfer or a daily school run, you can be confident the person behind the wheel has been checked and approved.
What Does a PCO Licence Mean for Passengers?
To get a private hire licence from TfL, drivers must pass a set of checks before they can work, and the licence must be renewed regularly. These include:
- An enhanced DBS (criminal record) background check
- A medical assessment to confirm they are fit to drive
- A check of their driving licence history
- Assessments set by TfL, including knowledge of safe driving and passenger safety
- An English language requirement so they can communicate clearly with passengers
Vehicles used for private hire are also licensed and inspected, so your car is checked as well as your driver.
School Run Taxis with PCO Licensed Drivers
For parents, the most important question about any school run taxi is who will be driving their child. That is why our school runs are only carried out by PCO licensed drivers who have passed an enhanced DBS check as part of their licence.
We aim to give each family the same regular driver for morning and afternoon pickups wherever possible, so children get to know a familiar face. You can set up a weekly school run account so there is no need for cash, and our office can talk you through collection points, timings and any extra support your child needs.
