I am with wheels insurance. Are you going for fully comp insurance or third party?

IDFIMH

been quoted £1100 for FC PH on a 55 plate tourneo 9 seater

my 4yrs NCB was accepted

and DDM options per month

we're all doomed i tell ye

Ive rang around a few today, I have it down to £2162 at the moment with J&M. Seems a good quote so far! Though im waiting for a few ring backs so hopefully it goes down. Ideally I want to get it as low as possible (dont we all!) but understand that Im gonna be paying a higher premium as of my age and first year of cabby.

Sussex, Ive yet to try Westminster, will give them a bell shortly.

Grandad, It will be fully comp, I will also try wheels insurance.

wannabeeahack, who did you get that quote from out of interest?

Bloody hell, an English guy coming into the PH trade in Plymouth.

Good luck with that fella.

Did you try http://www.taxi-direct.co.uk ?

That'll be because they take off their magnetic office signs when not working probably.



You wont be allowed advertising on a PH except the office name.

@ Darren. I think most of Taxifast is run by pole's etc?

Thanks for the advice ref advertisments. I thought that was the case! Didnt once taxifast stick a load of stickers in the back windows of their cabs advertising airsouthwest or something? cant remember

Ive got all my knowledge stuff now to read through and test myself, should be interesting to say the least!

surely that varies from LA to LA as with almost everything else?

Na, it was just a small 12x3 ish window sticker, that's all.

Try the taxi centre or Patons they may help, go to the main page on this site and have a look at the links, you could even try taxi and PH monthly mag they have loads of insurance adds.I thinks its in the links on the main page.

Last year I got my insurance quote through at £2,200 (only 1 year NCB); they were doing me a good deal, or so they said!!!

So, I put all my details that an insurance company would want to insure me on a Word Document, looked through all the trade magazines & papers, emailed 74 insurance companies attaching the Word Document with my details, got 51 replies & paid £1359. There were cheaper quotes but the insurance company was not in the UK and the excess was weird at £135, so I didn't fancy it.

The hardest part is getting all the email addresses into your email contacts, but once you have done that, it's there for all future years.

And that is the way I'm doing it this year, no matter how cheap the renewal quote is, or not!!
