What is taxi insurance?

Whether you're an Uber driver or drive a taxi for another private hire provider in the UK, having taxi insurance is a legal requirement. This specialised cover ensures that you and your vehicle are protected while using it for work. Unlike standard car insurance, taxi insurance is designed specifically for Uber and private hire drivers, giving you the confidence to focus on your passengers and earnings, knowing you’re covered.

Taxi insurance safeguards your vehicle, your passengers, and your livelihood. Incidents happen, and without the right cover, you could face costly repairs, legal fees, or loss of income.
