Information about our private hire insurance schemes

The outlook for hire car drivers needing private hire insurance (or public hire) is bleak. With the failure of many schemes, the withdrawal by many companies from the market, on the back of bad claims experience resulting from the public becoming more claims aware, the days of cheap scheme driven rates are now over.

We can help. At Portwood's we have teamed up with one of the larger private hire insurance brokers and can now offer you cheap quotations via the internet. They can quote for all covers - Comprehensive, Third Party Fire and Theft or Third Party only and can also provide special rates for the younger driver. Installment facilities can also be arranged.

The procedure is simple.

If you click on this link you will be taken to our private hire insurance main page. From there a submission form will appear. The data will be sent direct to the Broker who will provide an online private hire quotation - which you can take out by contacting them.
