What is the difference between a public hire taxi and a private hire taxi?

Simply put, a public hire taxi is available without being pre-booked (hence it can be hailed by any member of the public). Black cabs (or Hackney carriages) are the most famous example of this type of vehicle, although other vehicles displaying a Taxi light on the roof can also be hired.

Taxis like these often wait on ranks at railway stations, airports and at busy city locations.

Private hire taxis, in contrast, must be hired in advance.  This includes taxis from traditional cab firms, as well as those using Uber and other apps.  Bollington can help individual private hire taxi drivers to stay legal with the correct insurance for their needs, and we can also cover taxi bases for buildings and specified contents.

Whether you’re a public or private hire taxi driver, your local authority will issue you with a licence (or badge) to carry out your work.  You will either get a public hire or a private hire licence – let us know which one you hold and we’ll look to obtain the right insurance to meet your needs.

Why do I need public liability insurance as a taxi driver?

While it is not a legal requirement to take out public liability insurance, as a taxi driver, it really is a must. When you are working with members of the public all the time, there is always a chance they might be injured or suffer damage to their property – and if anything does go wrong, a claim could be made.

Bollington’s single vehicle taxi insurance policy can cover this as standard with a number of insurers we work with, making sure that not only is your vehicle protected, you also get the right level of public liability insurance to provide cover against claims from the public, too.
