Services
What makes us special is our unique agency network. We have over 40 agents situated around the UK with first class knowledge of the local taxi market to give our policyholders one to one personal service. Many of these agents have been recruited from within the "ranks" of the Taxi trade itself and can advise on Hackney Carriage, Private Hire, Executive Hire, Minibus, Fleet Insurance and many other types of insurance.
Nobody knows the taxi trade like Westminster. We insure in excess of 40,000 taxis and therefore our knowledge of this market is extensive. This experience, together with common sense underwriting, means that we know the problems that taxi drivers experience and what assistance they require. In the event of an accident everything is geared to keeping them on the road and restricting their loss of earnings.
We are a niche player in the motor trade market so this means that in addition to standard risks we are able to consider the more unusual specialist risk. Public liability, products and defective workmanship cover are included free of charge on all self employed motor traders policies such as car dealers working from home, mobile mechanics, accessory fitters and breakdown operators.
Homefleet is a unique multi vehicle policy. The more vehicles covered in relation to the amount of drivers, the greater the premium that can be saved. It is based on the simple principle that you cannot drive two vehicles at once and therefore one driver with three vehicles could have the third vehicle insured free.
In the past, a lot of smaller dealers found it virtually impossible to obtain suitable cover and were at the mercy of the market, which paid them scant respect. We cater for this sort of enterprise and as a result has acquired unsurpassed expertise, whilst creating unrivalled insurance products to match.
