Black Cab Specific Taxi Insurance
Public hire taxi insurance prices will always be higher than that of private hire. Black cab drivers work on this basis, with customers able to hail them from the off street, and they must display a lit taxi sign. With potentially aggressive drivers, unwitting pedestrians and difficult customers, there can be a whole number of things that influence your insurance.
Working in central London is often busier and comes with more risks than suburban mini cabs. As a specialist vehicle, your black cab insurance policy needs certain features in order for you to be fully covered. You are legally obligated to have third party only (TPO) motor insurance as a minimum, but you can opt for third party, fire and theft (TPFT) or a fully comprehensive policy.
Tips for Reducing Your Premium
Keep your vehicle secure
Keep your black cab secure when it is not in use can help you reduce the cost of your premium. Using a garage or gated drive, as well as removing any valuable belongings from view can also help with this.
Use your no claims discount
Driving safely and responsibly can help you save significantly by building up a record of your no claims discount. Some brokers can offer you a reduction of up to 30% if you stay claim free for over two years
Include public liability insurance
You are not obligated by law to have public liability insurance, but it could be a valuable addition to your policy, especially working on busy London roads. Also, being public hire increases your risk of unruly passengers, so it is important to protect yourself from any claims made against you in the event of an accident or injury
