A fleet worth driving for

We've been doing this since 1956. We know what drivers need — and we've built the business around making it work for you.

App-based bookings

Jobs come straight to your phone via the iCabbi driver app. No radio chasing, no office queues — just accept and go.

Weekly settlements

Paid weekly, every week. Transparent statements so you always know exactly what you've earned and what's been deducted.

Airport work available

Regular Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted runs. Fixed fares mean no haggling — and strong tips from happy passengers.

Account & corporate work

We carry a strong base of business account customers — regular, reliable work that's often pre-booked and predictable.

Completely flexible hours

Work the hours that suit you. Full-time, part-time, weekends only — you set your availability. No targets, no pressure.

70 years of reputation

Customers choose Gilberts by name. You're not driving for a faceless app — you're part of a trusted Chilterns institution.

More than just a job

Our drivers get access to exclusive perks and discounts that put real money back in your pocket every week.

What do you need to join?

Less than you might think. We welcome drivers at all stages — from experienced operators to people who've never driven professionally before.

  • Full UK driving licence — clean or with minor points considered
  • Right to work in the UK
  • Smart, professional manner — our customers expect the best
  • Smartphone to run the driver app

No licence? No vehicle? No problem.

We welcome enquiries from people at any stage. If you don't have a Buckinghamshire PHV licence yet, we can guide you through the application process — it's more straightforward than most people think.

If you don't have your own vehicle, we may be able to discuss rental options depending on availability. Just mention this in your application.

Already licensed elsewhere?

If you hold a PHV licence from another council area, get in touch — we can advise on transferring or applying for a Buckinghamshire licence alongside your existing one.

Part of something that's lasted 70 years

Gilberts Taxis was founded by Percy Gilbert in 1956, and has been family-run through four generations ever since. When you drive for Gilberts, you're joining a business that has deep roots in this community — and a reputation that customers trust every single day.
