QSi Awards 2026

We asked our Professional Driver QSi winners when we should hold our annual awards dinner.

They said the last thing they needed was a trip to the seaside when everyone was working flat-out in the run-up to Christmas. Instead, a trip to the seaside in January, when life is less hectic, would be preferable.

We agree. So last year we moved the QSi Awards to January – and we’re keeping it there for 2026. We’re at the same venue as last year, the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Brighton, on Thursday, January 29, 2026, when we’ll be honouring the best operators, drivers and cars in the taxi, chauffeur and private hire industry.

It also means our 10 category winners will carry their Gold, Silver and Bronze titles throughout the year. And because January is a quieter month in the taxi, private hire and chauffeur world, companies will be able to take more staff members to celebrate their success.

We’ll also be revealing our Cars of the Year at the event, which is renowned as being the biggest and best in the industry.
