Everything supplied to our trade seems a great earner.....but not for us the consumers...

Those are quotes for business use insurance NOT Hire and Reward. So you'd be insured for business use but not for carrying passengers.

The first one on that list have already told me that regardless of the quote obtained they don't do private hire insurance...
