Taxi Driver Online

My premium last year was £1170.

This year they want £1742!

And they want me to call them if I get a cheaper quote from elsewhere, to see if they can bend the underwriters arm to see if they will do it any cheaper!!



I can already feel the pain deep in my ar$e as they try to shaft me!!

Ouch!!!

So, as usual I've sent out the annual 87 emails to various taxi insurance comapnies and brokers with my full details.

Now I just wait for them to email back and pick the best [not necessarily the cheapest] quote and they'll have my business.

As for ringing back to my current insurer; well if they can't do it first time, then they don't get my business.

£950 odd last year
£2700 this year
i pointed out to them that those where non fault accidents and how could i have 2 years ncb and still have accidents on my sheet
new quote within days £1500 ffs are they having a laugh

anyway sold up so my renewal is now £0 thank f*ck

Same here, this year £1,425, last year £920. Phoned up another broker who quoted me just over £1,000, I got back in touch with my insurance place who said we can do it for £1,100, I told them to f**k off if they could do it for that why didn't they quote me that in the first place?? I might look and act a c*nt but when it comes to ££££££ I'm switched on.

Believe me, don't get Mercury X2

Just wish they would double PH insurance and leave the hacks alone
I would estimate that the average PH driver is of foreign origin, mostly responsible for the higher premiums

Some insurance companys have a policy of beating a written quote. Which means that the first figure will always be higher.
Here is one for you with my renewal. It was due on October 12th. I agreed the renewal figure on October 11th. I pay by monthly direct debit. How come the company providing the finance for this tried to get the first payment on October 5th, 6 days before I had agreed to renew?

Grandad,

probably that automatic renewal p*sh

From experience ph insurance is more expensive than taxi insurance and as a reciprocal insult I hope that they treble yours

Toots I dont know if its down to the areas we work but my insurance gave me a quote £300 cheaper for PH then public

But the above premiums are going up for vehicles driven by white people, so how do you work that out?

Surely if said person is a risk then they will not have any no-claims.

Toots, its possible for my hat my coat, to come from a foreign land, who has passed his test on how to go in a strait line and round a few corners in his country, then come over here get his ph licence to be let loose on our roads

Remember what that idiot Preest did in Plymouth, and that other idiot AD Lee in London is still doing now

Do you have evidence that they are a greater risk?
