What is Public/Private Hire Insurance?

Public/Private Hire Insurance is a specialized insurance policy designed for businesses operating in the passenger transportation sector. It covers a range of risks associated with transporting passengers for hire, including:

• Third-party liability: This protects you against claims from passengers or other road users in the event of an accident.

• Passenger liability: This covers claims from passengers for injuries sustained during the journey.

• Vehicle damage: This protects you against damage to your vehicle, whether it's caused by an accident, theft, or vandalism.

• Personal accident: This covers you and your employees in the event of an accident while on duty.

• Public liability: This protects you against claims from members of the public for injuries or damage caused by your business operations.
