Veezu Manchester rebrand gives cross-country coverage in Lancashire and Yorkshire

Veezu has wasted no time in rebranding its two recently-acquired Manchester fleets under the Veezu banner. Both Club Cars and Passenger Cars, bought in November 2024 and January 2025 respectively, are now carrying Veezu branding on their combined fleet of more than 500 cars.

The two acquisitions gave Veezu full coverage across most major conurbations in South Lancashire and West and South Yorkshire. Veezu owns Britannia Cars in Liverpool, Amber Cars in Leeds, City Taxis in Sheffield. Last October it acquired the 1,000-car Drive group, which has operations in Hull, Doncaster and York.

Most of these have already been rebranded to Veezu as part of the Cardiff-based company’s plan to create a national private hire brand. Veezu is now the UK’s largest private hire operator with 16,000 self-employed drivers signed up across many UK cities.

Club Cars was established in 1992 in Wythenshawe, and has depots in Wythenshawe, Chorlton, Didsbury, Levenshulme and Stretford as well as Manchester city centre. Passenger Cars was founded in 1998 and covers Trafford, south Manchester and east Cheshire. Veezu also owns operations in Bolton and Wigan, giving it extended coverage of the Greater Manchester area.

Under the unified Veezu brand, passengers and driver-partners will benefit from enhanced technology, smarter ride features, and a substantial investment in greener vehicles, including the addition of new zero-emissions capable vehicles to the fleet as part of a total investment exceeding £1.5 million.

Veezu CEO Nathan Bowles said: “Manchester’s Club Cars and Passenger Cars have built strong, trusted reputations by delivering exceptional local service. As we bring both brands together under the Veezu name, we’re not only introducing improved technology and a greener fleet – we’re strengthening our role as a key part of Greater Manchester’s transport network and are proud to support the region’s ambition for a more connected future.”

“Manchester is moving further and faster than any other region in the country when it comes to electrifying its transport networks, and we’re proud to be part of that journey. By continuing to invest in a greener fleet, we’re not only supporting the city’s bold sustainability goals, but also helping to improve air quality for everyone who lives and works here.”
