Private Hire Replacement Vehicle
Private Hire Replacement Vehicle
Newcastle Private Hire Vehicles can be replaced at any time during the licence period.
In order to apply for a replacement Private Hire Vehicle, you must complete the online application form.
You must upload the V5 registration certificate or sales invoice, and a valid certificate of insurance (which covers the vehicle for the use of private hire).
The appropriate fee will be calculated once the application has been submitted and the vehicle has passed the compliance test. There will also be additional test fees to pay.
Once the application has been submitted and received, a test slot will be booked and you will receive a booking confirmation email.
On the day of the test, please ensure you arrive at the Licensing Office at least 15 minutes prior to the test. The vehicle test takes approximately one hour.
