About PrivateHireKit

PrivateHireKit is a small, independent guide for private hire drivers in the UK, in English and Bangla. It was started by a former London private hire driver who knows how much small things (a charger that keeps up, a mat that rinses clean) matter over a long shift.

How we choose what to recommend

• We start from what drivers actually need on the job, then look at specifications, UK rules and a wide range of owner reviews.
• We don't run laboratory tests and we don't pretend to. Where we haven't used a specific product ourselves, we say what features to look for rather than claiming a hands-on review.
• No brand pays us to be included. Some links earn us a commission (see our disclosure); that never changes what we recommend.
• We don't recommend loans, car finance or betting products.

Not official

We are not connected with Transport for London, any licensing council, or any ride-hailing app. Always check your own licensing authority's current rules.
