Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. To operate with us in this zone, you must hold a valid Private Hire or Hackney Carriage Driver licence issued by South Gloucestershire Council, alongside a licensed vehicle and appropriate private hire insurance.

  • Because Zippe operates with a lower, fairer commission model than traditional rideshare platforms, your take-home pay is higher than the industry average. Combining everyday local trips with our contract Home-2-School work guarantees an incredibly stable income.

  • We welcome a broad variety of vehicles that comply directly with local council standards—typically clean, modern multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), saloons, and estates. We highly encourage electric and hybrid vehicles to help support local clean air initiatives.
