Travel for a company

What an account gives you

Four differences, none of them a different price. An account changes the settlement and the record, not the tariff.

One monthly invoice

One invoice a month rather than a card charge for every journey.

Cost centres

Each booking carries the cost centre that asked for it, so the invoice can be split without anybody reconstructing it from receipts.

The traveller, named

An assistant can book on somebody else’s behalf. The updates go to the traveller, the chauffeur is given the traveller as the passenger, and both names are on the record.

The same prices

An account is a way of paying, not a different tariff. The published tables are the prices a company pays, and the hourly terms are the same too.

How to open one

By conversation, because the invoicing and the cost centres are worth agreeing rather than guessing at. There is no form for it on this site yet, and we would rather say so than show you one that does not work.

1. Call 07887 478594 and tell us roughly how many people travel and how the cost is split.
2. We agree with you the name the invoice goes to, the cost centres it carries and who is allowed to book.
3. Each booking names the traveller and the cost centre, at the same fixed price anyone else would see.
4. At the end of the month, one invoice arrives with every journey already attributed.

What your travel policy will want to know

Licensed by Hertsmere Borough Council as a private hire operator, licence 601.

• Every chauffeur holds a private hire driver licence from Hertsmere Borough Council, which is granted only after an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
• The council requires a medical to the DVLA Group 2 standard, the standard asked of lorry and bus drivers.
• Each driver has passed the council's knowledge test, which is taken in English.
• We re-check every licence at renewal and record who checked it and when.
• Every car holds a current private hire vehicle licence from Hertsmere Borough Council and hire-and-reward insurance.
• Anybody who takes or dispatches a booking is on our staff register with a current basic Disclosure and Barring Service check. That is a condition of our operator licence, not a policy of ours.
• Where a partner operator carries a booking, it holds its own operator licence and both licence numbers are on the record.
• Before the pickup we send you the chauffeur’s first name, their private hire driver licence number, and the car’s registration, make, model and colour.

Our operator licence, our chauffeurs' licences and our cars' licences all come from Hertsmere Borough Council, which is what the law asks for: the three must match. A journey booked with us can then begin or end anywhere in England and Wales, which is why a Hertfordshire licence covers a Heathrow pickup.
