Drive Pre-Booked Airport Jobs With Rapid Airport Transfers PHV Drivers Wanted · Three Rivers Council Area · Real Rickmansworth Dispatch

Yes — drivers supply their own PHV-eligible vehicle. The standard requirement is a vehicle currently licensed by Three Rivers District Council for hire-and-reward use (or eligible to be licensed — typically under 5 years old, well-presented, four-door, with adequate boot space for airport luggage). Your vehicle must hold a current MOT and a hire-and-reward (not domestic) motor insurance policy. Saloon and Estate vehicles cover most bookings; if you have a 6-Seat MPV or 8-Seat minibus you can take group bookings as well. We do not currently supply company vehicles.

Yes — submit the application without the badge upload, and mark the badge field as "in progress" or send us a brief note. We can talk you through the TRDC licensing route: enhanced DBS, knowledge test, English and maths assessment, medical, and vehicle inspection. Most applicants who hold a current DVLA licence and a clean record complete the TRDC process within 4 to 8 weeks. We can introduce you to the council's PHV team and the local knowledge-test centre if it helps — you do not have to figure it out alone.

Three core shift bands. Morning covers roughly 4am to noon and is predominantly airport-departure runs. Afternoon covers noon to 8pm — a mix of corporate transfers and inbound arrivals. Night covers 8pm to 4am, mostly late international arrivals at Heathrow, Luton and Gatwick. Select your preferred band in the application form; you can mix bands week to week with reasonable notice. There is no formal minimum hour commitment, but most full-time drivers run 4 to 5 shifts per week. Weekend availability is helpful but not required.

Jobs are allocated by dispatch based on three factors: vehicle class (a 6-Seat MPV booking goes to a driver with that vehicle), geographic proximity to the pickup point, and account or route familiarity (repeat corporate customers may request a specific driver they have travelled with before). Within those constraints allocation is fair and rotated — there is no "top driver" who absorbs all the work while the rest scrape the leftovers. Dispatch can explain why a particular booking went to a particular driver if you ever ask.

The processing timeline depends on whether you already hold a current Three Rivers Council PHV Driver badge. If yes and your documents check out, typically 5 to 10 working days from application submission to your first allocated booking — that window covers document verification, an in-person meeting with the dispatch team, a vehicle inspection at our Cardinal Point office in Rickmansworth, and a route-familiarisation conversation. If you are still in the TRDC licensing process, we hold your application active and onboard you once your badge is issued.
