As I understand it, A Private Hire Vehicle Licence is taken out by the owner of the vehicle....The driver has also to be licenced also for PHV.
Sometimes you will get two or more drivers using the same vehicle, provided the vehicle is insured for these drivers there is no problem.
Taxi firms are nothing more that agencies that run an office to pass on to the drivers, jobs as they come in. The firms collect rents for the upkeep of this service and some also rent radios from the firms.
Taxi Drivers who are self employed can work for anyone.
