If another vehicle happens to be at fault in an accident with your taxi, you can make a claim with that insurance company. Be aware however, there are many drivers on the road that are not even carrying insurance.

The cover provided by this insurance will be of great value if your car should be stolen or be damaged by fire. Many insurance companies will not offer quotes for third party only cover if you operate within high risk areas of the country.
