PCO Car Hire vs Rent to OwnWhich Works Best for You?
Every driver’s situation is different. Some prefer the flexibility of weekly hire, while others want the long-term savings of rent-to-own. At G&M Direct Hire, you can choose the path that fits your goals. Here’s a side-by-side comparison:
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.
