Raj had his Wolverhampton private hire badge but no vehicle. He contacted SMV Vehicle Solutions on a Monday and was completing his first Uber trip the following Monday.
Raj already had his Wolverhampton private hire badge and Uber account approved — the usual bottleneck.
He WhatsApp'd SMV on Monday morning and was invited for a vehicle inspection visit the same afternoon.
Documents verified Tuesday. Vehicle rental agreement signed Wednesday. Vehicle collected Thursday.
By the following Monday, Raj had completed 47 Uber trips and earned £340 gross in his first 5 days.
Raj chose the Toyota Corolla Hatchback for its modern styling. 'Passengers always comment on how nice it is inside,' he says.
If your Wolverhampton private hire badge and Uber account are already approved, SMV can typically have you in a vehicle within 24-72 hours of contacting us. Raj went from first contact on Monday to driving on Thursday.
You need your Wolverhampton private hire driver's licence, DBS certificate, hire and reward insurance, and proof of right to work. SMV's team will walk you through exactly what's needed.
SMV can advise on the process but Uber account approval and Wolverhampton licensing are separate processes. We focus on getting your vehicle ready the moment your approvals come through.
