Welcome to The LPHCA
The Licensed Private Hire Car Association (LPHCA) is a membership-based trade association that represents licensed private hire operators (providers of private hire vehicle and taxi services that the travelling public can pre-book) in the UK, and provides help and information on licensing, industry matters, and news for our members, plus supplying information for industry product suppliers, Local Authorities, licensed operators and private hire and taxi drivers.
