What it covers

Hire and reward motor, plus the things that come with it.

Taxi fleet insurance is a fleet motor policy structured for licensed passenger transport. The hire and reward motor element sits alongside passenger liability, breakdown and replacement vehicle options.

Hire and reward motor

Comprehensive cover for the vehicles, with any-driver or named-driver structures, plus passenger liability for fares.

e.g. A multi-vehicle taxi operator with 12 hackney carriages running 24/7 shifts.

Public liability for passengers

Cover for third-party injury or damage during passenger transport, slips boarding, doors closing, dropped luggage.

e.g. A passenger injures their ankle stepping out of a cab. The PL element responds.

Replacement vehicle

Like-for-like cover while a fleet vehicle is off the road after a claim, so revenue keeps moving.

e.g. After a write-off, a replacement private hire vehicle is arranged so the run keeps moving.

Frequently asked

Questions before you click submit.

The questions we hear most often from taxi and PHV operators.

  • Taxi (hackney carriage) licences allow drivers to pick up street fares and use designated taxi ranks. Private hire requires pre-booking through an operator. Both need licensed hire-and-reward motor cover; the underwriting differs slightly with private hire fleet insurance typically rated on pre-booked work patterns.
