Why do I need taxi insurance?

Your vehicle/taxi has to be in good working order and needs to be licensed by the appropriate licence authority for your area.

What types of taxi insurance are there?

There are two types of UK taxi insurance:

  • Public Hire - this applies to taxis who pick up fares at the side of the road, without a prior booking being made e.g. black cabs and Hackney carriage drivers;
  • Private hire - this applies to taxi drivers who can only carry people where the journey has been pre-booked through a licensed operator such as minicabs.

What kinds of vehicle can be used as a taxi?

You need to use a vehicle which is in good working order as a taxi. For further information do contact your local licensing authority.

Most vehicles used as taxis on UK roads are saloon and estate cars, minibuses and MPVs. Executive vehicles need specialist chauffeur insurance.

How many drivers can be on my taxi insurance policy?

You are able to have more than one individual as a named driver on your taxi insurance policy. However, most taxi insurance policies are for the individual who takes out the policy. Just like other private motor insurance the greater the number of named drivers the more expensive the cover.

Do I pay excess on my taxi insurance?
