Private-hire, personal leasing and no-credit-check leasing solve different problems. A vehicle must never be used for taxi or other hire-and-reward work unless the written agreement and insurance expressly allow it.
You need a personal car without a traditional score check

A standard personal lease may cost less per month, but usually has a longer term, lower mileage and a lender credit check.
