What business insurance do taxi drivers need?

Public liability insurance is often an important cover for businesses, as it can protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your business. Simply Business offers between £1 million and £5 million in cover, to protect you against this cost.

If you own or rent your own property, business premises insurance can protect this important asset from disasters like fire or flood. You can also add cover for contents, fixtures and fittings, and more.

Unfortunately, vehicle insurance is not available as part of your business insurance policy.
