Taxi insurance questions we're asked
- How much is taxi insurance in the UK?
- Premiums depend on your licensing authority, vehicle, age, driving and claims history and how many hours you work. Because prices vary so much between insurers, we quote your details across our panel rather than giving a headline figure.
- What is the difference between public hire and private hire insurance?
- Public hire covers vehicles that can be hailed in the street or picked up at a rank. Private hire covers pre-booked journeys only. Using the wrong policy can invalidate a claim, so we confirm your licence type before quoting.
- Can I get taxi insurance as a new driver?
- Yes. Several insurers on our panel accept newly licensed drivers, though the price is usually higher in the first year. Building a no claims record normally reduces it at renewal.
