What is taxi fleet insurance?
Taxi fleet insurance covers two or more licensed public hire or private hire vehicles under one policy, but licensing always comes first, since insurers will ask for proof of your taxi or PHV licence before offering cover.
“Driving passengers for hire and reward without the correct taxi insurance is a serious offence, it can mean penalty points, an unlimited fine and vehicle seizure.”
The right taxi fleet cover depends on:
Public hire or private hire licensingApp-based or traditional bookingsHow many vehicles you operateAirport or executive workNamed or any driver optionsHow your fleet is likely to grow
Start with your licence type
Your licence type shapes the whole policy. Private hire, hackney carriage and executive work are rated differently, so start with the licence your drivers hold.

What licensing do you need before you can get cover?

Running a fleet on ride-hailing apps?
Fleets working with platform operators often mix employed and self-employed drivers, with vehicles shared across shifts and used on more than one app.
The right cover depends on:
Which platforms your drivers work onTelematics and app tracking dataEmployed and self-employed driversHours worked across platformsVehicles shared across shiftsPublic or private hire licensing
What affects the cost of taxi fleet insurance?
Taxi fleet insurance depends on your licence type, the number of vehicles and drivers, where you operate, whether you do private hire or hackney work, and your drivers’ claims and conviction history.
Public or private hire licensing
Public hire cover is often more expensive, reflecting street-hail risk.
App-based vs traditional bookings
Platform work may carry different risk profiles to traditional bookings.
Number of vehicles and drivers
More vehicles or drivers on the policy can affect the overall cost.
Level of excess
Choosing a higher voluntary excess could reduce your premium.
Employed vs self-employed drivers
Driver arrangements can affect how risk is assessed.
