Private hire taxi insurance is more expensive than conventional cover because taxi drivers complete more miles than other motorists, and often do so in congested conditions. … As a result, taxis are usually bigger than conventional cars – meaning these vehicles often fall into a higher car insurance group.

Simple “Social Domestic & Pleasure” or strict “taxi and private hire insurance” policies will not provide cover for delivering Big Macs for UberEats or ferrying Amazon grocery bags around. A courier policy is needed. It’s an important point to make because the cover required is significantly more expensive.

One thing our panel strive towards is making Taxi Insurance affordable.  However, the cost of Private Hire or Public Hire insurance costs in the UK depends on the driver’s history and experience. As a private hire driver, you can expect to pay anything from as little as about £800 all the way up to several thousand pounds for insurance, depending on your individual circumstances. 

You only need taxi insurance if you‘re planning on actually using your vehicle as a taxi. If you‘re buying for private use then you simply need to buy standard car insurance, although you‘ll likely need to find a specialist motor insurance company.

As a taxi driver, if your vehicle is off the road following an accident then this costs you money. The longer you’re not working, the longer you’re not earning. As such it is vital that you have the right cover in place to protect you and your vehicle, to ensure you’re back up and running as quickly as possible. Whether you’re a private hire driver or public hire driver, drive a black cab or a minibus, it doesn’t matter, you still need taxi insurance. You can cover the vehicle, the driver, any passengers and members of the public and their property too – just in case you run into some trouble!

The main difference between Public Hire Taxi Insurance and Private Hire Taxi Insurance is that public hire taxis don’t need to be booked in advance, and are licensed to pick up passengers on the street, however, private hire taxis must be pre-booked, and can’t be hailed by passengers on the street.

Taxi Insurance tends to cost more than Car Insurance because of the statistically higher risk of having an accident, due to the fact that taxi drivers cover more miles than most motorists. Along with driving more miles, taxi drivers are also likely to have larger vehicles that sit within a higher insurance group.

If you work as a taxi driver, a regular Car Insurance policy will not adequately protect you, your vehicle, and your passengers. If you use your car for hire, you must have a suitable Taxi Insurance policy in place.

Public Liability Insurance, or Taxi Liability Insurance, protects you and your business against any claims of injury or damage to property by someone in your care. Having this cover can prove invaluable when you consider the risks you’re exposed to as a taxi driver.

Depending on the type of policy that you would like, most of our customers go for comprehensive cover. So on this, you will have a compulsory excess of £250 to £350. However, you can reduce your premium by putting a voluntary excess on. So you could have a whole policy excess of £600 rather than just £350 and this will bring your premium down. Some other people tend to go with a third party, fire and theft to keep their premiums low and you will usually get a compulsory excess of £350.

The majority of policies are either insured only or named drivers but you can have any driver policy if you wish but your insurance premium will increase when you add drivers onto the policy. Your quote will depend on the number of drivers, their age and also their no claims history.
