What does taxi insurance cover

Taxi insurance provides cover for providing a hire and reward insurance to private or public customers. Private taxis must be ordered and can not be hailed down, unlike for example black taxi's in Belfast.

Taxi Drivers full or part time will legally need vehicle insurance and should give very strong consideration to public liability insurance

Vehicle Insurance

The Vehicle insurance element is available at 3 levels, similar to standard car insurance

Third party only – this is the legal minimum required, and cover is only provided to the other party. This does not provide any cover to your taxi or private hire vehicle.
Third party with fire and theft – Same as third party, but this time you will have cover if your taxi is stolen or is damaged by fire.
Comprehensive Cover – Add additional cover for your own vehicle and property in the event of an incident.

Public Liability Cover

This is cover against any injury claims from both passengers and members of the public that are made against you whilst you are providing a taxi or private hire service. Most insurance companies will include this in the taxi policy, or it can be purchased as a separate policy. Unlike vehicle cover it is not a legal requirement, but if any claim were to be successful without public liability insurance NI you could easily be financially ruined, as such claims can be huge.
