H/C replacement vehicle

Summary

A hire management company can only licence a vehicle if the accident vehicle is not roadworthy and has been suspended by the licensing team or the vehicle is off the road due to the accident repair work being carried out (proof from the garage will be required).

The replacement vehicle must be an approved make and model under the current East Staffordshire Borough Council Policy. A replacement vehicle will only be issued on a like for like basis, i.e. the number of seats.  The vehicle must be less than 10 years old and meet current ESBC conditions.

If you have any enquiries before purchasing a vehicle and submitting your application relating to vehicle specification, colour, age or seating arrangements, please contact email taxi.licensing@eaststaffsbc.gov.uk
