Taxi breakdown cover is specifically designed for taxis or private hire vehicles that are used to carry passengers.

We offer three levels of business breakdown cover for taxis and private hire vehicles. Our cheapest taxi breakdown cover option, UK Roadside, provides benefits such as taxi roadside assistance, recovery up to 10 miles and assistance in the event your taxi breaks down at home. UK National cover has the additional benefit of offering Nationwide recovery for your taxi in the event of a breakdown, whilst our most comprehensive breakdown cover for taxis and private hire – Uk and European – provides further additional benefits such as cover in the event of driver illness or injury as well as European Assistance and Recovery for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes.

Whilst, unlike insurance, it is not a legal requirement to have taxi or private hire breakdown cover, having appropriate cover in place can provide peace of mind. Heavy usage can result in an increased likelihood of a vehicle breaking down. Breakdown cover for taxis and private hire vehicles helps to keep you on the road, and money coming into your pocket.

We are able to provide public and private hire breakdown cover for fleets of any size, so whether you need breakdown cover for one taxi or a number of taxis, we have you covered.

Our business breakdown cover options for public and private hire provide suitable breakdown cover for Uber drivers, as well as taxis and other private hire vehicles.

Our breakdown cover for public and private hire vehicles is available for £104.01 a year, whilst our most popular level of cover for public and private hire vehicles, UK National, is available from £124.23 per year for an individual taxi. We offer discounts for multiple vehicle policies and these discounts will be automatically applied in the checkout journey.

We will arrange assistance for you should you experience issues with your vehicle’s tyres, such as a flat or punctured tyre. This includes cover in the event of a puncture due to hitting a pothole. Whilst our breakdown cover policies do not include the cost of replacing damaged tyres, we can often help you source an appropriate replacement.

Our public and private hire business breakdown cover options provide suitable solutions for taxi drivers including black cabs and mini cabs, and private hire vehicles such as airport transfer services, Uber and Bolt.

For any of our business breakdown cover policies we are unable to provide cover for vehicles with refrigerated loads, livestock, or hazardous chemicals, buses, coaches, minibuses, limousines or vehicles with more than ten seats, motor homes, horseboxes or agricultural machinery or any vehicle not included in the vehicle usage definition.

All of our breakdown policies, including our business breakdown cover for public and private hire have a minimum inception period of 24 hours from purchase. If you have bought breakdown cover for your public or private hire vehicle, please see your policy schedule for the exact time your policy will start from. You can choose to purchase your breakdown cover with us up to 3 months in advance. In such instances, your breakdown cover will go live at 00.01am on the day you have chosen for your policy to commence, providing you have purchased more than 24 hours in advance.

If you make any changes to the vehicles on cover after the start date of your policy, you will be able to make a claim for these vehicles 24 hours from the time the change was made.

If you wish to remove a vehicle that you have on cover, you can add another eligible vehicle in its place at any point up to renewal of your cover. Depending on the vehicle added, an additional charge may be applied. Please note, there will be a period of 24 hours from the time the change was made before you can make a claim against any new vehicle that you have added to your policy.

We cannot provide a refund for any vehicles that you remove from cover during the period of your business breakdown cover policy.
