What is Taxi Insurance?
Taxi Insurance is a specialist insurance product that covers you and your vehicle when operating for hire and reward.
When you take out Taxi Insurance, whether it’s for a private hire or public hire vehicle, you need to ensure that you reach the minimum requirements for cover.
You can take out a policy for an individual or for a fleet of vehicles. Depending on your business, you may have a requirement for additional Breakdown Cover.
How does Taxi Insurance in Middlesbrough differ from a Car Insurance policy?
Public Hire Insurance and Private Hire Insurance are more expensive than insuring the same vehicle for domestic use only. This is because they spend more time on the road in areas of higher risk and they are being used for business.
In the event of an accident, an insurer will have to consider the taxi, the driver, any passengers and property, as well as any third-party vehicles involved.
Domestic insurance policies do not cover a vehicle being used as a taxi.
What levels of cover are available in Middlesbrough?
As with domestic vehicles, taxi insurers typically provide three levels of cover – third-party, third-party, fire and theft and fully comprehensive. The legal minimum requirement is third-party cover, which all drivers have to take out in order to operate a taxi.

What is the average cost of Taxi Insurance in Middlesbrough?
It’s difficult to determine individual insurance premiums due to the number of factors taken into account, including the age and experience of the driver, the age of the taxi, whether it is a private hire or public hire vehicle and the licensing authority.
What are the different types of Taxi Insurance in Middlesbrough?
Different types of Taxi Insurance including Private Hire Insurance, Public Hire Insurance, Minibus Insurance, Taxi Fleet Insurance and Chauffeur Insurance.
