Chauffeur Insurance Quotes
Chauffeur Insurance, sometimes called Executive Hire Insurance, is a specialist type of hire and reward insurance. This type of cover considers the unique risks that go hand-in-hand with carrying passengers in executive vehicles. Chauffeur Insurance is designed for higher-value, luxury vehicles and we can arrange cover for you on policies with drivers between 25 and 70.
We provide a range of cover at competitive rates for new startup Chauffeurs who operate one vehicle to established Chauffeur companies that operate large numbers of vehicles (Chauffeur Fleet).

Levels of Chauffeur Insurance Cover that we compare.
We can provide two different levels of cover for our chauffeur drivers
Comprehensive
Comprehensive insurance is recommended to all chauffeur drivers as it will provide cover for them in all potential accident scenarios, including damage to their own vehicle.
Third-Party, Fire and Theft
Third-Party, Fire and Theft will cover a chauffeur driver if any damage is made to another vehicle or if another driver claims against them, plus it covers the cost of the vehicle should it be stolen or damaged by fire (minus any excess), however, this level of cover offers no accidental damage cover for the driver’s vehicle.
Third-Party Only
Third-Party Only is the lowest level of cover a chauffeur driver can get, and will cover the driver for damage to any other vehicle or third party, in the event of a fault accident.

Will my Chauffeur Insurance policy include Public Liability Insurance?
Public Liability covers drivers if they injure a member of the public, a passenger or damages their property. Public Liability covers accidents incurred during working as a chauffeur driver, which do not involved the vehicle.
It will depend on the insurer whether or not Public Liability is included in your policy. It can also be a paid optional extra, or you could need a separate standalone policy if your contract requires it.
If you have any further questions about Public Liability Insurance, get in touch with us today and our team of experts can help you with any queries you have.
Can I get insurance with no chauffeur experience?
We work with insurers who will provide cover for first-time chauffeurs subject to other conditions.
Please contact us and we’ll discuss your individual requirements.
Can you cover multiple Vehicles?
Yes, we work with insurers who will provide cover for one vehicle, offer multi-vehicle policies and those who will insure fleets on a Chauffer Fleet Insurance basis.
Do you give No Claims Discounts for Chauffer Insurance?
If you have already earned No Claims Discount from previous Chauffer Insurance policies before, we can leverage this to get you discounts from the specialist insurers that we work with.
If you take out a Chauffeur Insurance through us, and if you are claim-free through the policy, you will earn no claims discount at the renewal of your insurance.
