What insurance do Uber drivers need?
Uber and Bolt work is private hire work, so you need a private hire vehicle licence and a taxi policy that includes hire and reward use in your own name. A standard car policy, and social or business use, won’t cover carrying fare-paying passengers.
Any cover the app provides sits alongside your own policy, it doesn’t replace the hire and reward cover your licence requires.
Your app driver insurance depends on:
Which apps you work throughYour PHV licence and badge historyThe car you driveAnnual mileage
Cover for the way you drive

App drivers work very differently, and the right policy depends on how you drive as much as your licence.

Full-Time App Drivers
Driving most days, with high weekly mileage and peak-time work.
Multi-App Drivers
Taking jobs from Uber, Bolt and local operators in the same week.
New Badge Holders
Just licensed, with no taxi insurance history behind you.
Airport & Long Runs
Longer journeys and airport work rather than short city hops.
Executive App Work
Higher-value vehicles on premium tiers such as Uber Exec.
