SMV Vehicle Solutions — Wolverhampton's complete hybrid taxi hire fleet. Toyota self-charging hybrids from £100/week. 55-65mpg. ULEZ compliant. No charging needed.
The maths are simple. A Wolverhampton Uber driver doing 500 miles/week in a Toyota Prius at 60mpg spends approximately £90 on fuel. The same mileage in a 38mpg petrol vehicle costs approximately £142. That's a saving of £52/week — £2,704 per year — just from choosing a hybrid.
Combined with £100/week rental from SMV, a Wolverhampton hybrid taxi driver's total vehicle costs run approximately £190-£200/week — among the lowest in the West Midlands. This is why Toyota hybrids dominate the Wolverhampton private hire market.
Hybrid taxi hire in Wolverhampton starts from £100/week with SMV Vehicle Solutions. Our full fleet of Toyota self-charging hybrids — Prius, Corolla and C-HR — is available now.
SMV offers the Toyota Prius 2020 and 2019, Toyota Corolla Hatchback 2019 and Toyota Corolla Estate 2021 as hybrid private hire vehicles in Wolverhampton, all from £100-£120/week.
Hybrid vehicles like the Toyota Prius return 55-65mpg in real-world Wolverhampton private hire use, compared to 35-40mpg for petrol alternatives. For a driver doing 500 miles/week, this saves £35-£55/week in fuel — over £2,000 per year.
