What Are The Different Levels Of Cover I Can Purchase?
When taking out a hackney carriage insurance policy, you’ll be asked which type of cover you’d like to purchase. There are three levels of cover. Here are your options:
Fully Comprehensive
This is the most extensive level of cover available. It includes third-party, fire & theft. This protects you and other motorists from any damage you cause, as well as covering medical expenses.
Third-Party, Fire & Theft
This level of cover helps you if you’re responsible for damage to other people, passengers or their property and it will cover the cost of repairs. You are also covered if your vehicle gets stolen or damaged by fire. HOWEVER, if you’re responsible for an accident, this level of cover will not help pay for repairs to your vehicle or any medical expenses, you will have to pay the costs.
Third-Party Only
This is the most basic level of cover you can purchase and the lowest that it legally required. This will help pay for any damage you cause to other vehicles and property. There is no cover for you or your taxi. If your vehicle is damaged or stolen, you won’t be able to claim back the cost.
