TFL Approved Dashcam London 2026 — For Private Hire, Uber & Bolt Drivers

If you're a private hire driver in London, a TFL-approved dashcam isn't just smart — it may be required. Transport for London has specific rules about dashcam systems in licensed vehicles. Here's what you need to know and where to get one professionally fitted.

Do I Need a Dashcam for TFL Private Hire?

TFL has introduced regulations around in-vehicle recording equipment for private hire vehicles (PHVs). If you drive for Uber, Bolt, or any other TFL-licensed operator, having a compliant dashcam can protect you against false complaints, disputes, and insurance claims. Check with your operator and TFL for current requirements specific to your licence.

What Makes a Dashcam TFL Approved?

TFL-compliant dashcam systems typically need to meet requirements around:

• Recording quality — clear footage in all lighting conditions, including night
• Storage and data protection — secure storage with GDPR-compliant data handling
• Privacy notices — visible signs informing passengers that recording is in progress
• Audio recording controls — ability to enable or disable audio capture
• Tamper-proof installation — professional hardwired fitting that passengers cannot interfere with
