London Taxi Insurance Benefits

Just like you, as a driver, know the roads locally. Brokers, who specialise in your area, understand your needs better. This understanding allows them to provide you with taxi insurance quotes that are tailored to you.

What insurance you need is down to you though:

Third Party Only (TPO) - the most basic level of cover legally required to drive on the road which covers any damage caused in the event of an accident.

Third Party Fire and Theft (TPFT) - offering slightly more cover than TPO, TPFT covers the costs of replacements or putting you back into the same position you were after a fire of theft claim.

Comprehensive - the best level of cover available on the UK insurance market.
