Private Hire License

PCO

● Comprehensive – Comprehensive insurance is always recommended for taxi drivers. It covers you in all scenarios when there’s an accident.
● Third-Party Only – This is the lowest level of cover you can get and still be in accordance with the law. It might be cheaper than comprehensive insurance but it’s not really adequate when you spend so much time on the road.
● Breakdown Assistance – This is an extremely useful type of cover for taxi drivers. If you break down then you want to know that you’ll be back on the road again as quickly as possible.
● Fleet Insurance – If you own a fleet of private hire taxis then it makes sense to insure them under one taxi fleet insurance policy. Not only does this make things much simpler if you need to make a claim but it can also save you a good deal of money.
● Public Liability – It’s essential that you have public liability cover if you’re a taxi driver. There’s always the possibility that a passenger or member of the public could make a claim against you and it can be devastating if you don’t have cover in place.
