Built around the cabbie.
We rent premium, fully TfL-licensed black cabs to professional Hackney Carriage drivers across London — and we run the business the way cabbies wish more companies did.
Who we are
A London black cab rental company that takes cabbies seriously.
The Capaholics was founded by people who understand the realities of working the cab — long shifts, tight margins, and a constant battle with hidden running costs.
We built the rental experience we wished we'd had: clear pricing, modern vehicles, real support, and zero nonsense.
Our mission
Help drivers earn more — predictably.
Cabbie income shouldn't be eaten away by surprise repair bills, plating headaches or unfair contracts. Our job is to make the most expensive part of the trade — the cab — simple and predictable.
You handle the driving. We handle everything else.
What we stand for
Four things we won't compromise on.
Safety & compliance
Every vehicle is fully licensed, insured and maintained to manufacturer standard. Compliance is non-negotiable.
Driver-first support
Real people answer the phone, day or night. We treat drivers as the professionals they are.
Honest pricing
No surprise charges, no hidden fees. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Long-term relationships
We'd rather keep one driver for five years than churn ten in five months. It shapes every decision we make.
Why drivers stay
The retention numbers speak for themselves.
Most of our drivers have been with us for over 18 months. Word-of-mouth from working drivers is our biggest source of new applications — and that doesn't happen by accident.
