About Taxi Finance Direct

Specialist finance for professional drivers

Taxi Finance Direct focuses on one thing: helping professional drivers fund the vehicles they rely on to earn a living.

With over a decade of experience in the finance industry, we specialise in taxi, private hire, chauffeur and fleet finance rather than general consumer car loans. That means we understand licensing rules, operator requirements and the realities of working as a professional driver.

Our team is made up entirely of SAF-certified finance professionals who are trained to give clear, responsible information about vehicle finance. We combine that technical knowledge with a practical, down‑to‑earth approach so drivers know exactly what they are signing up for.

We work with a panel of trusted lenders and funders to support a wide range of use cases: single drivers, small fleets and larger operators, across vehicles such as LEVC TX taxis, hybrid saloons, MPVs, minibuses and executive cars. The aim is always to match each client with a structure that fits their work, their licence and their budget.

Whether you are upgrading for new licensing conditions, adding another vehicle to a growing fleet or returning to trade after a break, we aim to provide swift, informed support from first enquiry through to payout.
