What is private hire taxi insurance?
Private hire insurance is cover for taxi drivers who carry pre-booked passengers in return for payment (it’s also known as Hire and Reward). If you're a taxi driver work for a ride-hailing app like Uber or Bolt, you’ll need private hire taxi insurance.
Depending on the level of insurance you choose, it can cover you and your vehicle, plus other people and their property.

Good drivers save with Sense
Zego Sense is our app-based policy that rewards good driving with lower prices. Drive safely and you can get money off when you renew. Simply choose ‘Sense’ at the checkout, then download the app to start saving.
Choose between Third Party Only and Fully Comprehensive
Third Party Only
If you’re involved in an accident, Third Party Only covers other people and their property, but it doesn’t cover you. So you’re protected if someone gets injured and tries to sue you, but you won’t be covered if you get hurt or your car gets damaged.
Fully Comprehensive
This is the top level of cover. It protects you and your vehicle, plus other people and their property, too. You’ll also be covered for legal fees and compensation payouts if you’re found to be at fault.
