Cheaper quotes are out there! Don't listen to the naysayers. It will be hard, and a long, annoying search, but don't give up. I was 28 when I first took it out my private hire insurance and it was a shade over 2k, with a 25 year old named driver! I was getting ridiculous quotes and phoning various brokers became such a repetitive process and wasted hours of my time. Try http://www.click2insure.co.uk/ That is who sorted it for me - bar far the cheapest! Edit: Not sure if there's much of a difference between public hire and private hire, can't see it though. |

Why does hardly anyone get back to you? aren't they bothered about the business for something usually you can't get rid of them |

Try South Essex Insurance Brokers. Under £1000 for mine, fully comp & "use for the carriage of passengers for hire and reward", no difference between public and private hire. |
