Drivers Wanted

If you’re new to taxi driving, we recommend starting out by driving one of our company-owned vehicles. This helps you get comfortable with the job, learn the local area, and understand how the taxi business works in Blackpool and Fylde.

You’ll need to be over 26 years old and hold a valid UK driving licence for at least 12 months (or 2 years if applying for a private hire badge). A basic knowledge of Blackpool and nearby areas like Lytham St Annes is helpful, but don’t worry if you’re not an expert yet — we’ll provide full support and training.

For drivers with limited local knowledge, applying for a badge from another area may be an option we can help you explore. Plus, our advanced dispatch system, integrated with Google Maps, makes navigation easier than ever.

To drive with C Cabs, you’ll need a taxi or private hire badge issued by Blackpool or Fylde Council. If you don’t already have one, no problem — we’ll guide you through the entire application process step by step.

Licensing authorities require all drivers to:

• Hold a valid driving licence
• Pass fit and proper person checks
• Understand the relevant laws and regulations
• Wear an identification badge with photo while on duty

If you have any questions about how previous convictions may affect your application, we recommend contacting the licensing teams at Blackpool or Fylde Councils directly.

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or switching from another company, C Cabs offers a fantastic platform to grow your own business. With thousands of bookings each week and the latest booking technology, you’ll have excellent earning potential.

We’re committed to supporting our drivers every step of the way — after 6 weeks with us, we even refund the cost of your taxi badge through subscription relief.

We provide driver packs containing all the essential documents, detailed FAQs, and step-by-step instructions on applying for your badge in Blackpool or Fylde. Just get in touch with our team to request your pack, and we’ll guide you through everything you need to know before you start.
