Professional Driver
Car of the Year

Join us this Summer for your chance to test and evaluate the latest cars for the private hire, taxi and chauffeur market – and help us choose the winners at the Professional Driver Car of the Year Judging Day.

As part of our exclusive judging panel you can enjoy a day test driving your choice of at least 40 new cars. It’s a great chance to network with fellow operators and meet suppliers and in a friendly, informal environment.

Make a date in your diary. We’re returning to Epsom Racecourse in Surrey once again – but this year the event will only be held on one day, Tuesday, August 22. The judging will start at 9.00am, and will finish at 5.00pm. Lunch and refreshments are provided.

To register, just follow the link below and fill in the form. It’s completely free, providing you’re a licensed private hire, taxi or chauffeur operator or driver.

We will need to check your driving licence before you attend, so you’ll need to complete a DVLA Licence Check. We’ll email you with the details of how to do this once you’ve registered.

The venue is easily accessible from central London and is just 10 minutes’ drive from the M25, junction 8. Details of how to find the venue can be found here.

A short road route will be provided, and we’d like you to drive as many of the cars as possible. Then we’d like you to complete a short 17-point questionnaire, allocating points out of 10 for various features of the cars.

The more judges we have, the more accurate the results will be – so if you’d like to bring another member of staff, for example one of your best drivers, we’d be very happy to accommodate them. There will be certain restrictions which tend to vary among the different manufacturers. See our FAQs for more details.

Professional Driver’s Car of the Year winners will be announced at our QSi Awards dinner in November.

As well as the overall Car of the Year award, we have seven individual categories:

• Private Hire Car of the Year – Electric
• Private Hire Car of the Year – Hybrid
• Executive Car of the Year
• Chauffeur Car of the Year
• MPV of the Year
• Luxury SUV of the Year
• Estate Car of the Year
