How can you say that you found out a few days ago? It has been on here for about 3 months.

Nowadays don't you have to have photocopies of all your drivers documents, if so you could have checked your drivers policies yourself.

all of my drivers have been with me a long time the council always checks that insurance is held via the DVLA database. If a driver forgot to renew or lost their policy the council would be pretty quick to phone me

Not so here

Hacks operating via a base (be it hack/PH or mixed) must provide all details inc insurance test plates driving licences and national insurance details every 6 months and at the start of joining the base

Orbit seem fine but they buy cover in off Enterprise....it seems


For Policyholders who hold an ENTERPRISE policy administered through ORBIT UNDERWRITING

It is important that you make arrangements to have suitable cover in place after 26th October 2016.

To assist with this process we will do everything we can to arrange alternative insurance cover on your behalf. This may be a short term policy to continue cover up until your original renewal date or where this is not possible, we will look to offer you a new annual policy. Any new policy arranged will require a further premium to be paid separate to any payments already made towards your current EIC policy.
