As a private hire taxi driver, you will be aware of the types of insurance required to operate within the taxi industry in the UK. You are in need of specialist private hire taxi insurance cover so it is advised that you obtain a policy from a reputable provider. Although it is required by law to have a basic level of cover called third party insurance, as you are working with the public, and require your vehicle as a source of income, it is strongly recommended that you seek a more comprehensive cover.
Taxi insurance costs can vary significant, but there are a number of factors to take into consideration if you are looking to lower your annual premium:
• No claims bonus: if you have a history of no insurance claims, the insurance provider will see you as a lower risk, and in turn offer you a cheaper quote
• Location: if you are working in a large city or town, you may not be offered third party only cover at all. Insurance providers might insist you take out at least third party, fire and theft cover which will offer you further protection. If the crime rate is higher in your working location, you will also be the victim of a higher insurance premium.
• Levels of cover: As mentioned, third party cover is the most basic level of cover available and is what you are legally required to hold. However, this cover will only pay for damage to the other person’s car in an accident. As a taxi driver, you will probably struggle without your taxi and could lose your income if your vehicle is stolen or sidelined awaiting repair.
• Low mileage: if you’re a part time taxi driver in a small town, it is likely that your mileage will be a lot lower than that of an airport transfer company.
It is important that you obtain adequate cover from a company that specialise in private hire taxi insurance to ensure that they understand exactly what you require as a taxi driver. It is also vital that your provider understands that you will be driving in a number of different areas, and could be driving late at night.
