At SEIB, we can keep your customers on time by keeping you on track, no matter the size or style of your rural private hire business.

Is breakdown cover provided?

Breakdowns occur at the worst of times. Whether you expected it or not, the frustration is shared by all drivers. If you’re a private hire business, breakdowns can even affect your reputation. But if you’re based in rural areas, the situation can suddenly become catastrophic, and could leave you and your customers stranded. As an optional extra, SEIB can add Breakdown Cover to your policy.

What else can you offer?

As a taxi firm, it’s not just about your cars. It’s also about the people you employ and the public you engage with. SEIB can offer additional public liability and employers’ liability to protect you and everybody your business comes into contact with, covering you for almost any event.

How much does private hire insurance cost?

*From May 2021 the new Civil Liability Bill will come into effect. This will change the way drivers claim for whiplash injury and further increases the need to ensure you have pre-purchased a motor legal expenses insurance policy. As a result of the Civil Liability Bill, you will be liable for any legal costs for pursuing claims of up to £5,000 in respect of whiplash injuries following a motor accident. However, if you have pre-purchased motor legal expenses cover then this will cover your legal fees so you can pay for a solicitor to pursue the claim on your behalf. A standard motor legal expenses could cover up to £100,000 in legal fees and typically cost around £3 a month in premiums.
