Cab operators, looking for feedback on going rates charged for insurance cover in your areas, maybe can then get an idea of overall picture of what these modern day Legalised Robbers are caning us for???? Feedback please?

Sussex is right. All Motor Insurance has risen, by about that, in the last year or two.

I don't know how you can call them Highway Robbers, after all, you can always take your Business elsewhere.Few real Robbers offer you that choice!

What is happening in Manchester, is that many insurers are no-quoting the area, leaving it to the likes of Tradex / Westminster, who then quote what they want.
We are all only too aware its gone up but 291% in my case, we need league tables for comparisons. God forbid having a claim against these leaches, your premium would rocket to telephone numbers.

The fact that most insurers are blanking an area usually means there is a bloody good reason why.

Maybe your area has got more crooks driving cabs who try it on when they have a claim.

Mores the pity we can't all live in the stockbroker belt like where you are Sussex! More to the point are these Insurers not duty bound under the terms of their operators license in quoting insurance no matter where you are in uk???

Please don't think I'm having a pop at you, it's just I don't think the rest of us should be subsidising your area through higher premiums.

i am with westminster 11 years no claims i own a hackney in the cotswolds my renewal didnt go up at all still £758 fully comp with protected no claims

Ring Cabshield in Glasgow mate, we've all been getting increased on lately, my £950 went to £1150 this year, and a mate got quoted £1950 from £1000 this year, eventually the climb down went to £1200 with the same firm "Westminster/Tradex".
