Salary benchmarks
Our take
Addison Lee, founded in 1975, is London’s largest private hire company today, providing car and courier services for individuals and businesses.
The company’s main competition these days are ride-hailing firms such as Uber, but Addison Lee hopes to stand out with its practiced professional customer service. Though mainly serving London, the company also offers managed services in New York and across the US.
Addison Lee serves a large portion of the FTSE 100, operates thousands of vehicles, and provides up to 30,000 rides a day in London alone. The company has made the jump to a fully electric fleet as of 2023, acquiring low-carbon taxi fleet Green Tomato Cars, and in 2024, it was itself acquired by ComfortDelGro, a multinational transport group. This acquisition will merge Addison Lee's fleet into the preexisting fleet of ComfortDelGro's subsidiary CityFleet Network, and Addison Lee will see an expansion of its services into Liverpool, the Wirral, Chester and Aberdeen.
