Passenger Liability
Covers you for passenger accidents or negligence issues where you are held responsible, such as slips and falls. Not all such claims are anything to do with the vehicle insurers, and we can cover this important additional protection to your business.
Operatorās Licence Cover
Losing your Operators Licence can be the end of the road for your business, so insuring against itās loss should be common sense.
Professional Indemnity
Accidents happen, and sometimes itās a professional mistake. Some incidents can be costly to the parties involved and having the right insurance cover for this is very important.
Legal Expense
Perhaps your business suffers at the hand of another company, and thereās a financial loss, how will you seek compensation? Having Legal Expenses cover may be very inexpensive, but can make all the difference if you have to go to court.
Baggage Cover
Handling other peoples personal possessions is fraught with danger, from breakages to complete loss. Weāre able to cover the items for all risks, and ensure you have peace of mind should the worst happen.
Public & Employers Liability including international cover
Both Staff and the public need covering from any mishaps where you might be liable. Ensuring the cover is right and operated in the countries you are working in is essential.
Office & Depot Premises
We donāt just cover fleets and customers, we look after your premises too. Making sure the base of operations are adequately insured is vital should the worst happen.
Breakdown Cover
Covering old and new vehicles and even whilst theyāre abroad, just ask our team to get a bespoke package organised for your needs.
Talk to one of our friendly consultants to assess your needs and find a bespoke insurance solution to suit your business.
Whilst you normally have an emergency phone number stated on your policy documents, we always recommend talking to your account handler first.
How much is insurance for a Taxi?
Thatās a tough question to answer without first establishing what cover you exactly need. Perhaps you want your premises covered, or maybe you just want the legal minimum cover required such as liability or vehicles? The good news is that we at AIC as brokers, have more insurers available on our panel than nearly any other firm, so weāre bound to find you the most competitive market price on whatever your insurance needs.
Weāll always recommend starting with a conversation with our helpful and friendly staff, so we can assess your needs and find the right bespoke insurance solution for you.
What insurance do I need for a Taxi?
Great question, and it depends on exactly what type of business you are running. Perhaps you are single vehicle for Private Hire, or youāre running a fleet for Public Hire. Obviously the vehicle(s) will need insuring properly, with a specialist insurance company, which gives you Hire & Reward cover for the usage.
Also one of the basic covers would be Liability insurance, and this can be set to protect the Public or Employees. Then maybe you have an office and/or building(s) to insure, with business equipment etc.
Thereās also some professional insurances such as Directors & Officers or Cyber Cover to protect the business and management. The list goes on and on, and our site lists most covers you might need, but even better give one of our experienced and happy staff at AIC a call to discuss your business in more detail.

Do I still need to disclose claims, convictions, criminal record and bankruptcy to insurers after all these years?
We at AIC always recommend to air on the side of caution, and disclose everything to ourselves, and we can help you decide if this information needs to be told to insurers, which normally it does.
There are different rules to follow from various sources, as an insurer may ask you to declare convictions in the last 10 years, whereas the rehabilitation act may dictate that you donāt need to declare it for more than say 5 years. DVLA may give you a different answer again for motoring convictions! Talk to one of our friendly consultants and let us help you.
Why AIC rather than a price comparison site?
Using a dedicated insurance broker provides benefits completely unseen when using a comparison site. With AIC, youāre afforded your own dedicated account manager who specialises in the cover you are seeking. Getting to know our clients is paramount to our customer service dedication and getting to know you AND your requirements is part of that. When you use a price comparison website, you are quite literally just a number and just a click-cost.
Why do you ask so many questions?
With any type of cover it is important to present insurers with all the information that will or could possibly affect the way they look at the risk. If this is not provided, insurers have the right to walk away from a claim, to change terms at the time of a claim, or reduce an amount paid depending on which law the insurance adheres to.
A good insurance broker (like AIC) should not be afraid to ask the right questions of a potential policy holder, or suggest ideas that will help in the risk management of the cover in question. Insurance is there to help you in the event of a problem, and it makes no sense to cut corners on something so important. Weāre here to help you!
Do you have a call centre?
We hate call centres as much as you! Our phones will never be answered by a call centre and only by a staff member. You only deal with your allocated account advisor, so you know who you will be dealing with every time you need to reach out to us.
Do I have to pay in full or can I do instalments?
There are two main ways you can pay your insurance: the full sum to cover the next 12 months upfront, or in 12 monthly instalments over an annual period.
The major drawback to monthly payments is paying by instalment usually makes the total cost of cover higher than it would be if you paid in one go. This is because the insurance company is effectively lending you the money to pay the premium, so it will charge you what amounts to interest on the repayments you make across the year.
By paying In full you are clearing your entire payment all in one go, meaning the insurance company wonāt have to lend you the money and you wonāt be due any premiums on the loan.
How can I reduce the cost of my insurance?
Great question and one we can of course help you with! Business insurance premiums are arrived at by the analysis of your likeliness to have a loss. When you apply for coverage, your information will be analysed by an underwriter who is responsible for determining whether or not they will consider writing a policy for you. Each business has completely different circumstances and we highly advise you to get in contact with us so we can understand and advise in the best possible way.
