Private hire insurance questions we're asked

Do I need private hire insurance to drive for a booking app?
Yes. Ordinary car insurance excludes hire and reward, so you need a private hire policy that matches your licence and vehicle before you accept paid journeys.
Can I use my private hire car for social driving?
Most private hire policies include social, domestic and pleasure use, but this must be confirmed on the schedule. We check it on every quote we present.
