What do insurers need to know?
As you'll most likely know, every taxi broker is looking for something different. Some public hire experts specialise in the big cities like London (PCO), Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow with bustling taxi ranks and dense traffic. Other brokers will be looking to cover hackney carriages in smaller towns such as Reading and Preston. Either way, it's likely they'll all want to know similar information so they can write your policy:
- Do you want to cover more than one driver on this cab?
- How old is your vehicle?
- How many years have you held you taxi badge for?
There are many factors that will affect your overall premium , but it is always important to remember to purchase the amount of cover you feel comfortable with. We have a much more indepth guide on our taxi insurance page. Whilst you're going to need at least third party black cab insurance, some brokers will offer extra policy additions such as liability cover and optional breakdown services. These may be useful to keep your revenues rolling, even when your own taxicab, be it a TX1,TX4 or a Mercedes Vito, is in the garage. Please click the button above to be taken to our quotation page.
