Private Hire Insurance

Private Hire Insurance Quote

Private hire vehicles are often the first line of defence against our occasionally lack-lustre public transport network. It's not easy for those in rural areas to use buses and trains , quite often a private hire vehicle is only way in and out of town -- particularly in the early hours of the morning!

Like any other vehicle being legally used on British roads, you'll need motor insurance to offer protection and cover -- at the very least, third party cover to deal with third party costs in case of an accident. It's likely that most minicab drivers will want more extensive cover, as their cab is completely necessary for business purposes.

Is it easy to get private hire insurance?

There are various factors brokers will wish to know before they quote you. For example, they will want to know how long you've held a full UK driving licence, as well as how many years private and taxi no claims bonus you have and what kind of car you will use to ferry passengers. Quotiva will help you find cover nationwide.

That's great, but I drive a black cab!

That's not a problem, we can also help public hire drivers find a black cab insurance quote too.
