CPV Sign - Commercial Passenger Vehicle Windscreen Sign with Suction Cups

Description

This CPV sign is a printed commercial passenger vehicle notice that mounts to your windscreen with two suction cups. It measures 165 x 110mm, is made from PVC rather than paper or vinyl film, and reads clearly from outside the car. Because it suctions on rather than sticking, it comes off in seconds with no residue and can be moved between vehicles or put away when you finish a shift.

The practical problem with an adhesive decal is that it is a one-way decision. Once it is on the glass it stays there through your days off, through the school run, and through selling the car. A suction-cup sign gives you the same visible display while you are working and disappears the moment you are not, which is why most part-time and casual drivers prefer them.

Specifications

What's in the Box

Why Drivers Choose a Suction Sign

• On and off in seconds - press the cups on at the start of a shift, pull it down at the end, no tools and no scraping.
• No adhesive residue - nothing is left on the glass, which matters on a leased car or one you plan to sell.
• Moves between vehicles - if you swap cars, drive a shared vehicle, or use a spare, the sign comes with you.
• Clear print - sized and printed to be read from outside the car by a waiting passenger.
• PVC, not paper - it holds its shape and colour in a hot parked car instead of curling or fading like a printed sheet.

What Is a CPV Sign?

CPV stands for commercial passenger vehicle - the term used in Australia for taxis, hire cars and rideshare vehicles that carry paying passengers. A CPV sign is the notice a driver displays on the vehicle to identify it as one. Drivers most often display it on the windscreen or a side window where a waiting passenger can see it as the car pulls up. The term is used most widely in Victoria, where commercial passenger vehicle regulation and driver accreditation sit under the state transport safety regulator.

What Are the Display Rules for a CPV Sign?

Display requirements are set by the transport regulator in your state or territory, not by us, and they differ depending on where you drive, what category of commercial passenger vehicle you are booked under, and which platform you drive for. Requirements also change over time. Check the current signage and display requirements with your state regulator and your booking service provider before relying on any sign. We sell this as a physical windscreen sign - we are not in a position to certify that it satisfies any particular regulatory requirement, and we would rather tell you that than have you assume it.

How Do You Fit It to the Windscreen?

Clean the inside of the glass with a glass cleaner and let it dry completely first, since dust and film are what cause suction cups to let go. Press each cup firmly against the glass and hold for a couple of seconds to push the air out. Position it where it is clearly visible from outside but does not obstruct your view of the road - your line of sight always comes first, and driver vision obstruction is itself a road rule matter. If a cup loses grip in hot weather, take it down, wipe both the cup and the glass with a damp cloth and refit it.

Who Buys These

Rideshare and hire car drivers, taxi operators, and drivers working across more than one vehicle or sharing a car with family. Part-time drivers are the biggest group, because they want the vehicle to look like an ordinary private car the rest of the week. Fleet operators and driver training businesses also buy them for vehicles that move between drivers.

If you are setting up a car for passenger work, our Magnetic Car Phone Holder keeps the app in view without holding your phone, and drivers running food orders as well often add an Insulated Food Delivery Bag. For families sharing the same car, our Baby on Board Signs use the same suction mount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a CPV sign the same as a CPV sticker?
They serve the same purpose but attach differently. A sticker is adhesive and permanent once applied. This is a reusable PVC sign held on by two suction cups, so it comes off cleanly whenever you want.

What size is it?
165 x 110mm.

Does it leave marks on the glass?
No. There is no adhesive - the suction cups lift straight off and leave nothing behind.

Can I move it to another car?
Yes. Clean the new windscreen and press the cups on. It is fully reusable.

Where should I mount it?
Somewhere clearly visible to a passenger approaching the car, without obstructing your own view of the road. Check your state's requirements for where signage must or must not be displayed.

Will it satisfy my accreditation requirements?
We cannot tell you that. Signage requirements vary by state, vehicle category and booking service provider, and they change - confirm with your regulator and your platform.

Why did my suction cups fall off?
Almost always dust or window film on the glass. Clean both the glass and the cups, dry them, and press firmly to expel the air.
