London Private Hire Query on License Sticker Exemption

hsirk

Hello everyone

Not sure if I am in the right place for this but am looking for some information on the London Private Hire scene.

I have recently obtained my London Private Hire Driver License and wish to undertake work for corporate events, weddings as well as be an Uber driver in my spare time or when there is not enough corporate work. I know my takings wont be alot with this sort of venture however I own a brand new luxury vehicle (not under any contract or finance) so am looking into this as a means of making some extra money.

My main query is to do with the PHV license sticker displaying exemption and how can I qualify for it. As with corporate bookings and weddings being my primary source of business I cannot have the huge stickers on my car. I am in contact with a few businesses who could provide me regular work however I would need a sticker exemption for this!

I am at very early stages with all of this and dont have any current operators to work for yet. I am yet to register with Uber too. Another plan was to get a small operator license however before I do that I was wanting to get some experience to see what it is going to be like. What are my options here regarding the sticker exemptions?

Please can someone experienced shed some light on this. Thank you.

Best
