Many taxi insurance companies say they offer cheap private hire quotes for minicab vehicles and cheap taxi insurance quotes for public hire vehicles.

Just type the phrase ‘cheap taxi insurance’ in the search engines and this will result produce thousands of results for brokers offering online quotations.

Obviously not everyone is comfortable with purchasing a taxi insurance quotes online, for this reason most companies will also provide a contact telephone number of their websites. Before calling the taxi insurance company it is best practice to make sure that you have all or most of the information at hand for the taxi advisor to give a quote over the phone. Typical information that may be required includes;

• Current or existing insurance company name
• Full Vehicle Details
• Name of your local licensing authority – for example London Public Carriage Office (PCO)
• Details of previous or pending accidents, claims, incidents thefts on any motor vehicle including fault and non faults
• Details of any motoring convictions and fixed penalty points
• Details of any private car or taxi no claims bonus

You must clarify exactly what your vehicle will be used for. For example as a public hire taxi or a private hire minicab insurance or even just contract works only such as school runs. A Private hire insurance policy differs from a public hire insurance policy. If unsure as to what you require get advice from your local taxi licensing department.

If you are also adding an additional driver onto the taxi policy you will need to have all the details relating the second driver. Again full name, address, date of birth, points, accidents etc do need to be declared to the taxi advisor for this additional driver.

The age of a driver is a key factor in determining a cheap taxi insurance quote. For drivers that are aged between 21 to 25 years will usually pay a lot more than older drivers with a few years of taxi experience under their belts. Some taxi insurers will not offer any cover for drivers aged less than 25 years.

It is important to disclose all claims and accidents since it is the duty of the policyholder to disclose all material facts. Some taxi insurers ask for claims history for up to three years and others for up to five years. Remember even claims or accidents that are not your fault have to be declared.
