Many Uber drivers are also local minicab drivers. Some might also driver

Whilst I have no personal knowledge of this, many of the reports that
I have read say that it is impossible use this MO because the London
mini-cab companies insist that you rent the car from them when you
drive for them.

If that were the case Uber wouldn't have been so cross about TfL's
proposal to make it much harder for a driver to work for multiple cab
companies. Not saying that it doesn't happen, but it clearly isn't the
case for all operators.

If you think about it - if cab companies owned (or even rented a fleet)
of cars and rented them out to drivers, those cars would have their
branding on. At least their name and phone number. That's rare in
London. Most mini-cabs have no branding on them at all.
