Taxi insurance is not only designed for the sole trader, but it is the ideal choice for the larger cab companies that have a number of vehicles on the road at any given time.
One of the most important aspects of your business are your vehicles, if one of them is involved in an accident it will not only cost you money that will mean that there is one vehicle not making you any money at all.
As you know the legal requirement to drive on the UK roads is a minimum of third party cover, but as a business person you also know this level of cover is not enough should one of your vehicles be involved in an accident.
When you apply for this level of cover you will be given three choices; third party, third party, fire and theft and comprehensive.  The third party options only cover any third party vehicle for property involved in an accident caused by your driver, you will not cover your cab.
So it is easy to see a comprehensive cover is the most logical and practical choice, protecting both your own vehicles and any third party property more vehicles.
The benefit of this level of cover is that you can add all your cabs under one policy, this makes it more affordable, practical and convenient.  You only have one policy number to remember, when phone number to phone and one claims process to go through.
You also want the peace of mind that your driver’s are protected at all times.  In the event of an accident and should your driver be seriously injured you can a claim against you, which is why you need have adequate cover in place.
When selecting drivers for your business is important to ensure that they are over the age of twenty five, they have clean driving licences and a noclaims bonus, bonus on their private policy.  These three things prove to the broker that your drivers are not a risk.
Of course incomes your biggest risk, transporting passengers.  For this you need a good level of public liability cover.  If one of your cabs are involved in an accident while transporting a passenger this can end up with a large claim against you.  A public liability claim against you is a claim you legally responsible for and they can amount of thousands, leaving your business in serious financial difficulty.
So whether you have one cab were a number of cabs, taxi insurance offers you the full level of protection, convenience and money saving ability that your business needs.
