Use it only when the vehicle is part of your work

Professional Driver Mode is designed for a taxi, private-hire vehicle or another high-use working vehicle. It adds a focused working view to the same private Passport.

Your everyday, occasional and high-mileage vehicles stay as ordinary Passports unless you choose Professional driver for that vehicle.

Taxi drivers

Keep the deadlines you record close to the vehicle they belong to.

Private-hire drivers

Organise inspection, licence, insurance and mileage information.

Other high-use drivers

Use the mode when a working vehicle needs closer mileage and cost attention.

A simple working view

See the next useful job without losing the full Passport

The mode uses the reminders, mileage and costs already recorded for that vehicle. It then brings the most useful professional action into view.

01

Choose Professional driver

Turn the mode on for one working vehicle. Other vehicles do not change.

02

Add the facts you know

Record relevant deadlines, current mileage and actual expenditure.

03

See the current position

Review passed, due, approaching or recorded deadlines.

04

Take the next action

Update mileage, review a deadline or continue to garage search.

Working-vehicle reminders

Keep your recorded deadlines in one clear list

Add a date, mileage or both. When both are present, whichever reaches its due or advance point first controls the displayed position.

Understand reminders and Care Clock

Taxi or private-hire licence

Save the deadline supplied by the responsible licensing authority.

Breakdown cover

Money you have actually recorded

See recent operating expenditure

Professional Driver Mode totals fuel, charging, service and repair amounts saved in the Passport for the last 7, 30 and 365 UK calendar days.

These are recorded costs only. They are not income, profit, tax returns, business accounts or financial advice.
