If you're organising a school prom and want an arrival that feels momentous, Prom Car Hire transforms the evening from ordinary to unforgettable. Think the thrill of applause on the driveway, the smell of leather, the soft glow of interior lighting — a short journey, but one that creates a memory you’ll keep for years. At Private Hire we specialise in matching you with the perfect vehicle, whether you want subtle elegance or full-on glamour.
Private Hire is the UK’s leading online marketplace for hire needs, backed by more than 18 years of experience. Using our platform, you can compare vetted local and national suppliers quickly, book with confidence and access transparent pricing. When you search for Private Hire, expect a simple, secure experience that prioritises safety, value and customer service.
Choosing the right car is part taste, part practicality. Will you travel in a small group? Do you want photographs that stop traffic? Consider accessibility, luggage for coats, and how many passengers you’ll have — then match those needs to a vehicle style.
Classic cars bring timeless style and cinematic photography. They suit small parties and often make the most striking arrival shots. If authenticity and character matter, a classic is hard to beat — and our network sources well-maintained examples with drivers who know how to handle period vehicles.
Stretch limousines are ideal for larger groups and an unmistakable entrance. They offer room to celebrate en route and can turn the journey into a party, safely and legally. When you pick a stretch, check passenger capacity and confirm any venue restrictions in advance.
Executive saloons are refined and discreet — perfect if you prefer understated elegance and a luxury chauffeur experience. They’re also practical: quick, reliable and easy to park close to the venue entrance for seamless drop-offs.
If the group is larger or you need space for belongings and changing outfits, MPVs and minibuses give you flexibility without sacrificing comfort. They’re particularly useful for mixed-year groups or when travel routes require more logistics planning.
To make decisions straightforward, compare vehicles on capacity, practicality, photo potential and driver service. Below is a quick comparison to help you shortlist options.
| Vehicle type | Typical capacity | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Classic car | 2–4 | Photo shots, arrival drama |
| Stretch limousine | 6–10 | Group travel, celebratory journeys |
| Executive saloon | 1–4 | Discreet luxury, tight access |
| MPV / minibus | 6–16 | Larger groups, storage needs |

We know venues can be tricky. Our suppliers offer flexible pickup and drop-off arrangements — from school entrances to nearby streets — and can advise on the best approach for photos without disrupting traffic or venue operations.
Safety is non-negotiable. Every element — from driver checks to up-to-date MOTs — affects the quality of your night. Here’s how we ensure safe journeys.
All drivers on our marketplace undergo identity and licence verification. Many have DBS checks and enhanced training for transporting young passengers; we highlight these details so you can choose accordingly.
Vehicles must meet regular servicing and MOT requirements. We prioritise suppliers that demonstrate clear maintenance records and a commitment to vehicle presentation — because reliability and polish both matter.
Operators are required to carry appropriate public hire insurance and, where applicable, private hire licences. If you’re unsure what to check, our platform flags licence types and insurance coverage so you can book with confidence.
