These vehicles are not readily distinct as the licensed taxi or a coach. As per law they can not be hailed in the streets and hired. These cars have to be pre booked in order to carry passengers. The vehicle is also limited to carry a maximum of 7 to 9 passengers. However the only similarity between these types of cars and licensed taxi is that they both face the same adherent risks like road traffic accidents or theft of the vehicles. There are many companies around the world that have come up with private hire insurance to provide maximum coverage for the private hire vehicles.

There are wide varieties of policies available in the market today. However all these policies can be grouped under three main categories - the comprehensive cover, the third party cover, the fire and theft cover. All these policies have a varying level of risk coverage. Depending on the area where the vehicle will be operating, the owners can decide which type of private hire insurance they need to buy.
