The Choice of Taxi Insurance

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Choosing the right taxi insurance quote can sometimes be a tough decision.  There are also numerous things your will need to consider when searching for a quote; you will need to ensure you are covered for all possibilities.

Firstly you should make sure that the policy you choose have a good reputation.  They should have good experience, enabling you to get the best possible price, cover and also advice.

Taxi

Most people tend to use specialist taxi insurance brokers, as they are usually the ones to give you the best quote possible.  You should be trying to find a quote which offers extras for example: breakdown cover, or a replacement car in the event of a crash, you can be back on the roads as quickly as possible.

Your insurance must cover your passengers not just yourself.  This is for the unfortunate event of a crash injuring your passengers; you will not want to be liable for any legal claim they could make if anything should happen on the journey.  If you can find a quote that has legal expense covered too, as this will mean you are well prepared for any claims against yourself.

As with anything, you will need to read the small print so you can understand exactly what is covered and what is not within your policy.  Your taxi insurance is highly likely to be more expensive than regular car insurance, as you are using your car as a business and carrying passengers around, but this does not mean you can not search for a better or cheaper deal.

If you have completed all of the above, you can be safe in the knowledge that you are covered fully, for any outcome that you may face whilst working.

Taxi’s of Tomorrow

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Have you been tempted to invest in a new taxi recently? It might not be a bad time to consider upgrading, as new alternatives to the traditional cab are now being mooted.  The Taxi and Limousine Commissions (TLC) have just recently revealed their idea of brand new an electronic taxi called the UniCab.

These electric powered taxis will be more energy efficient, plus, with oil being a fossil fuel and running out rapidly, it could turn out to be a very smart idea.  If you are a taxi driver and are out on the road all day driving your customers around, you’ll probably have opportunities to stop in between journeys, and re-charge just like you would at any petrol station.

The new UniCab has enough room for up to seven passengers, including space for their luggage, plus a ramp and space for wheelchair users.  It also has LED screens on the outside of the taxi, to show how many people are riding and where it is going.

This really is the taxi of the future; it also meets the highest safety standards.  Whilst releasing lower emissions and giving an improved fuel economy, these will reduce the taxi’s environmental footprint.  This does genuinely seem an all round better way to travel; not just more comfortable for your journey but potentially better for the economy & environment too.

If they are a success, they will likely take over the standard taxis, especially if the government was to regulate against older fossil fuel based taxis, a situation not entirely unrealistic, should viable alternatives exist.

We imagine these new models, along with most other hi tech vehicles, to be somewhat expensive in the near future, so you’d best be prepared to shop around if you want affordable taxi insurance on these types of vehicles!
