What Is Private Taxi Hire Insurance And Is It Expensive?

The term private hire taxi is a generic one that denotes nearly all types of vehicle used to convey the fare paying customer;  from a black Hackney cab to a saloon, MPV, minibus or people carrier.

As you would expect, private hire taxi insurance is equally as all-embracing. But it's more than about vehicle type, private hire taxi insurance encompasses both owner driver and fleet operators.

Though there is a generic face to private hire taxi insurance, this does not indicate a 'one size fits all' attitude from the insurers. For to remain competitive, private hire taxi insurance companies have no alternative but to reflect as far as possible individual circumstances when supplying quotes.

The best companies are those that are eager to listen to customers, understand their business and quote on the basis of the individual company and its needs rather than supply a broadbrush quote based on a demographic profile.
