Taxi breakdown cover is a specialist type of breakdown cover that is designed for taxis and private hire vehicles that are used to carry passengers. If you are a taxi driver, we’re sure that you are well aware that downtime can be costly in terms of time and money.

Taxis and private hire vehicles spend much more time on the roads than your standard vehicle, and this can increase their chance of breaking down. Taxis will therefore often require specialist business breakdown policies.
