What is single vehicle taxi insurance?
Single-vehicle taxi insurance is specialist cover for self-employed taxi drivers who use their own vehicles. It helps protect against the unique risks associated with transporting people.
If you have multiple taxis to insure, you may benefit from taxi fleet insurance, which allows you to insure three or more vehicles on one policy.
Do I need taxi insurance?
Everyone who drives a taxi for profit, whether that be private hire, a minicab or a public hire car like a black hackney carriage, will need specific taxi insurance. Standard car insurance won’t cover you, even if it includes cover for business use.
You cannot drive a taxi without your taxi badge and taxi insurance. It’s essential to cover yourself, your passengers, and other road users in the event of incidents or accidents.
What type of single vehicle taxi insurance do I need?
Private hire and public hire are the two main types of taxi insurance. Whichever kind of taxi you have, we have appropriate cover available.
- Private hire: Minicab-type vehicles that can only be pre-booked and can’t be hailed at a taxi rank or on the street.
- Public hire: Black cabs, hackney carriages and other vehicles that are licensed by the council to pick up fares on the street and at taxi ranks.
How much is taxi insurance for one vehicle?
The two categories involve different levels of risk, but the amount you pay for your policy is more likely to depend on factors such as your age, location, annual mileage, and how long you have held your taxi badge.
The quickest way to determine the cost of taxi insurance is to get a quote and compare prices at suitable coverage levels.
