Latest Product Launches: Taxi Cover & Named Driver Impound Insurance

Driving Flexibility with Temporary Taxi Cover

According to statistics from the Department for Transport, there are over 313,000 licensed taxi and private hire vehicles in England alone. For many professional drivers operating in today’s gig economy, locking into an expensive, rigid 12-month policy doesn’t always make sense.

Our short-term taxi insurance provides a practical, cost-effective alternative. Available for durations of 7, 14, 21, or 28 days, this standalone policy gives you comprehensive protection and allows you to operate as both a private hire and public hire taxi. Additionally, our taxi policies also include hire & reward cover, which means you can seamlessly switch to multi-drop delivery work during quieter passenger shifts to maximise your earnings.

• Pay for what you need: Ideal for seasonal peaks, part-time hours, or testing out the trade before committing long-term.
• Fast setup: Get covered online in under two minutes with zero black box or camera installation requirements.
• Protect your Claims Discount: Complete standalone cover that won’t impact your personal No Claims Bonus.

Phil Evans, our Managing Director, explains:

“The traditional 12-month taxi insurance model simply no longer aligns with how professional drivers want to manage their businesses today. Whether someone is testing the waters of the trade to see if the lifestyle fits, picking up extra shifts during high-earning seasonal peaks like Christmas, or handling part-time hours around another job, forcing them into a rigid annual policy creates a massive financial barrier.

Our new temporary taxi insurance changes the game. It’s completely on-demand, requires absolutely no restrictive black boxes or camera installations and delivers full legal cover in under two minutes without impacting a driver’s personal No Claims Bonus. Professional drivers often face soaring overheads with annual premiums running into thousands of pounds, but this pay-as-you-go model puts the control back in their hands.”

Getting Back on the Road with Named Driver Impound Cover

Having a vehicle seized is a stressful experience, and rigid recovery rules can quickly make a bad situation worse. If an owner is physically or legally unable to drive their vehicle out of a compound, daily storage fees mount up fast.

To solve this notorious driving headache, we’ve upgraded our temporary car impound release and van impound release insurance to officially support named drivers.

If you can’t collect your vehicle yourself, you can now nominate a trusted friend or family member as a named driver on your temporary impound release policy. They can legally collect and drive the vehicle home from the police compound, keeping you fully compliant while saving you from escalating storage costs.

As Phil Evans notes:

“We know that having a vehicle seized is an incredibly stressful experience, which is frequently made worse by rigid recovery rules. If an owner is caught in a situation where they are legally unable to drive the vehicle away themselves, daily storage fees quickly mount up. By expanding our temporary impound release insurance to cover both cars and vans to support named drivers, we are providing a practical, compliant solution that allows a trusted friend or family member to help them get back on the road safely and legally.”
