Taxi fleet insurance explained

Taxi fleet insurance is one policy covering two or more licensed taxis or private hire vehicles. It can include saloons, MPVs, minibuses and accessible vehicles on one schedule, with named driver or any driver cover.

Drivers who use a fleet car for app work often need a fleet permission letter alongside the certificate[2]. Our sister site Insure Fleet covers larger fleets in more depth.

Why move to a fleet policy

  • one renewal date instead of several
  • vehicles added or removed during the year
  • driver rules set across the fleet
  • a claims record built by the business
  • one point of contact for every claim

Operator numbers are rising: private hire operator licences in England grew 17% to 19,000 between 2024 and 2026[1]. Many of those firms run a handful of their own cars alongside self-employed drivers.

What to tell the broker about your fleet

  • the number and type of vehicles, including accessible and electric cars
  • whether each is public hire or private hire licensed
  • who drives: employees, self-employed drivers or renters
  • the work: app, account, school contract or airport
  • where vehicles are kept when not working
  • your claims history across all vehicles

Firms that employ drivers or office staff usually need employers' liability insurance of at least 5 million pounds from the first day they take on staff[3]. Booking offices may need taxi operator insurance and public liability too.

Mixed taxi fleets

A taxi fleet can mix vehicle types. A firm might run saloons on app work, minibus taxis for airport groups and accessible vehicles on council contracts. Each vehicle is rated on its own use, on one schedule.
