Since Freeway was founded in 1997 we’ve worked with thousands of chauffeurs and private drivers to provide tailor made insurance packages that suit the working patterns of executive drivers and deliver if and when the time comes to make a claim.
Today we’re known for our attention to detail, as a solid pair of hands and a safe bet for chauffeurs and executive drivers looking for comprehensive insurance cover at a competitive price.
Our understanding of how executive drivers work, means we know the risks that private drivers face and we can arrange insurance accordingly. Our bespoke approach puts us head and shoulders above other executive taxi insurers.
Taxi insurance is required if you intend to carry passengers for hire or reward. Your taxi must be in good working order and licensed by the appropriate licence authority in your area. There are two types of UK Taxi Insurance:
For taxis that are licensed to pick people up off the street without a prior booking
For private hire vehicles that can only pick up pre-booked fares.
Comprehensive taxi insurance covers your taxi for damage, whether it’s your fault or not. You’ll also be covered should you become the victim of fire, theft or vandalism to your vehicle. Third party liability is also covered, so if you should be at fault in an incident, the other party’s losses will be paid for by your insurer.
We know that getting back on the road after an accident is vital for you to continue working. By choosing comprehensive taxi cover, you can protect your day-to-day work as a taxi driver.
With third party cover, your insurer will cover the cost of repairs to another vehicle, should you be at fault for any damage. This insurance will also protect you from other claims, such as compensation for injury or other property damage, in cases where you may have caused an accident.
As this cover also includes insurance against fire and theft, you can be safe in the knowledge that you’re covered if the unexpected should happen. If your taxi is stolen and never recovered, or written off as the result of fire damage, your insurer will be able to provide a lifeline to get you back on the road.
Third Party Only will cover you if you cause damage or injury to any third party property, vehicle or person, this also covers you for injury to your passengers.
