Taxi fleet breakdown cover

Our taxi fleet breakdown cover can provide you with the most effective cover for your business from two vehicles upwards. So, no matter if you have a small fleet with just a few taxis, or you have a larger one with many vehicles, we have you covered. 

At FleetCover, we can provide you with different levels of taxi fleet breakdown cover, working with you to establish the best policy for your business’s needs.

What is included in breakdown cover for taxi fleets?

Our breakdown cover for taxi fleets is designed to protect your vehicles and your business in the event one of your vehicles breaks down. 

Our taxi breakdown cover is divided into four main types:

• UK Local Cover – Recovery to a suitable garage or destination of your choice, up to 10 miles from the location of the breakdown.  

• UK Local and National Cover – UK wide cover and recovery to a suitable garage or destination of your choice, up to 10 miles from the location of the breakdown.

Each of our policies also cover a range of issues, such as:

• Electrical and mechanical failures 
• Lack of fuel 
• Mis-fuelling
• Flat battery 
• Punctured tyres 

Is breakdown cover a legal requirement for taxi drivers?

Breakdown cover is not a legal requirement for taxi drivers, however, we highly suggest investing in a policy in order to protect yourself, your business and your vehicles. 

As a taxi fleet, your vehicles are your business, which is why it is important that you have the right level of protection in place to keep your business moving in the event of a breakdown or accident. 

The benefits of breakdown cover for your fleet of taxis

Standard breakdown cover for your fleet of taxis can be useful. However, our taxi-specific breakdown cover offers a variety of different features that are essential for keeping your business operating smoothly.

The benefits of breakdown cover for your fleet of taxis include:

• Faster response times – We know as a taxi firm, you often work on tight deadlines, especially with your pre-booked customers. Due to this, we always aim to prioritise a fast response time to minimise your downtime.  

• Recovery for heavier vehicles –  As a taxi fleet, it’s likely you will have a variety of different vehicles. We always ensure our taxi-specific breakdown services are equipped to handle different types of vehicles, from standard saloon style cars to specialist accessible vehicles with built-in wheelchair access. 
• Reduced costs and streamlined processes – Including taxi breakdown cover in your annual fleet policy can help to reduce your administration costs and minimise the amount of separate policies that you need to organise. 

Can you add breakdown cover onto a taxi fleet policy?

Yes, you can add breakdown cover onto your taxi fleet policy, and with FleetCover this is incredibly easy to do. 

We can work with you to find the best breakdown cover for your business and add this onto your annual taxi fleet insurance policy, helping you cut down on separate costs that you may already be spending on individual breakdown policies for your vehicles. We will always find the best solution for your business, tailoring policies to suit your specific needs for both your business and your drivers.
