Our taxi breakdown cover defined

Taxi Breakdown Cover is a customised recovery solution crafted specifically for taxis or private hire vehicles involved in ferrying passengers. It’s a known fact among taxi drivers that vehicle downtime can have a significant impact, both time-wise and financially. Our exclusive taxi breakdown cover supplements your standard taxi insurance and aims to promptly restore you, your taxi, and your passengers back to your journey.

Remember, it's best to double-check the details of different breakdown cover plans before making your final decision and trust a provider that gives you all the details.
