Private Hire Cab Driver. Self-Employed Opportunity

£600+ per week achievable

Canterbury, Kent

Longleys Private Hire

Work with the No.1 Cab Company in Canterbury. Full-Time, Part-Time & Zero Commitment available. No vehicle or industry experience necessary.

- Do your friends and family compliment the way you drive?
- Would you enjoy looking after people, and being a valued part of the local community?
- Do you want the freedom to choose your own work-life balance?

You could be the right kind of person for us. Longleys drivers must be savvy, reliable and a little bit cheeky. We like to have a bit of fun at work, and you’ll need a sense of humour to fit in!

Why Longleys?

- A clean, modern, well-maintained fleet of vehicles you can take pride in.
- Total control over your work / life balance with the ability to set a pattern that suits you. Zero commitment, part-time and full-time drivers welcome.
- 24/7 booking office – experienced problem solvers to back you up!
- Fast, Fair and Accurate job allocation.
- Use your own phone to work. Our driver app has integrated Sat Nav and one-touch communication with your passenger. Works with most recent Android and iOS devices.
- Collect fares from passengers, and pay us a commission that includes vehicle rental, insurance and fuel.
- Fair pricing that does not ‘race to the bottom.’ Our customers value what we do, and are happy to pay healthy prices (EG: £119-£200 for a Canterbury to Heathrow booking, depending on the account).

You can drive one of our company-owned vehicles, or you can provide your own licenced vehicle (which must meet our high standards and be regularly inspected).

The first step is to send us a short cover letter detailing your experience and background. If we like what we see, we can progress to a meeting where we will explain everything about the industry, the way we work and the things you need to do if you want to work with us. We want you to be well-informed so you can make the right decision – we like people to stay with us for a long time!

Minimum Entry Requirements:

- You must have held a UK or European Driving Licence for at least 12 months. We would prefer a clean licence but will discuss individual cases (serious convictions mean you are unlikely to be granted a Private Hire Licence).
- You must be over the age of 21 on the date of your induction. This is for insurance purposes. If you are under 21, you are welcome to complete all other steps but will not be able to start driving until your 21st birthday.
- You must obtain a Private Hire Drivers Licence from Canterbury City Council. We can talk you through this, as it is quite a simple process, but you must be prepared to fund it yourself. The overall cost is somewhere around £300.00
