Insurers treat Uber vehicles like private hire taxis, which means you will require Private Hire Vehicle Insurance.
Private Hire Vehicle Insurance is a specific form of Hire and Reward cover. Hire and Reward is a class of insurance that allows drivers to carry other people’s goods in return for payment legally. Uber, taxi, and bus drivers require a special form of Hire and Reward Insurance that allows them to legally transport members of the public in return for a fee.
All the coverage you require as an Uber driver is incorporated within a Public Hire Vehicle Insurance policy and is the industry standard recognised by all employers. You cannot work as an Uber driver without Private Hire Vehicle Insurance.
