What is PCO?
PCO stands for Private Carriage Office. It's a license required to operate private hire vehicles (PHVs) in London. A PCO license allows you to accept bookings for private hire services and manage a fleet of licensed drivers and vehicles. All private hire operators must be licensed by Transport for London (TfL).

PHV stands for Private Hire Vehicle. These are vehicles licensed to carry passengers for hire or reward, but cannot be hailed on the street or wait at taxi ranks. PHVs must be pre-booked through a licensed operator and driven by licensed private hire drivers. All PHVs in London require TfL licensing.

What our customers say?
G&M Direct Hire Ltd was founded in 2008 and has since emerged as a prominent PCO hire company in London. We have assisted over 6000 drivers on their PCO journey, establishing ourselves as a trusted and experienced partner in the industry.
An excellent experience from start to finish. The entire team was incredibly friendly and supportive. I’ll always recommend them and they’ll remain my first choice for PCO car hire in London, thanks to their fairness and transparency.
Anthony Parker
PCO Driver
I’ve had a great experience with G&M Direct Hire over three years with them and never a single issue, whether with the PCO vehicles or the staff. Everyone in the office is polite and highly professional. They’re a fantastic team, and I always have peace of mind knowing things are in their hands. Thank you, team!
Yordan Yordanov
Driver
I’ve used several PCO companies, but I must say this one has been the best PCO rental by far. G&M Direct genuinely cares about its reputation and goes the extra mile to support you. The team is always helpful and truly works with you, not just for you. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
