In the UK, Private Hire insurance is becoming an expensive purchase. With the withdrawal of many schemes, the losses made by many UK Hire Insurance companies and ever increasing compensation claims, the price of cover has increased with some drivers being asked to pay an extra 50% or more . As Insurance brokers we can find you very competitive rates since we have access to several schemes.

Please note that due to the nature of this form of insurance, we are unable to provide quotations 'on-line'. There is a submission form requesting the pertinent information which we shall use to obtain a quotation - from several sources which we shall then e-mail back to you. If the quotation is acceptable then setting up the policy will follow conventional lines. However the submission is free, the quotation is free, and as a Broker we will always endeavour to help you to the best of our ability.

As a special offer we can offer - subject to a satisfactory proposal form - FREE Public and Employers Liability cover for any policy taken out via our web page. This applies to taxis, public and private hire vehicles and minibuses - but not for self-drive hire vehicles.

Excess Insurance

Since many direct companies issue policies with a high excess you may wish to take out excess insurance. An excess insurance policy pays a fixed amount, typically the excess on your policy, should you make a claim that exceeds the excess on your policy and you can't recover (windscreen claims are not covered). Rates start from £25.20 and can be bought online - you don't need to insure your car with us to qualify. If you are interested, click here for information about excess insurance for your car.
