hire and reward insurance

Aug 28, 2007 6 Replies

insurance brokers reckon it's difficult getting "carriage of passengers for hire or reward" for a Land Rover.



Anyone got it, and if so, whence?


Why not ask the people who run the Land Rover Weddings / Land Rover Funerals? I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you who insures them, it's not as if you're in competition.

Christ it's difficult to do business in the UK - I could place that through work in 10 minutes and even give you a choice of underwriters. I might try a couple of them and see if they want to cover you in the UK or whether they will organise something through their UK counterparts.

I've not tried it with a Land Rover, but there's a couple of places worth trying;

Have been useful for me in the past.

tell me about it.., :-(

1470 quid more or less to insure the tranny, and at that they won't cover a LR instead. bugger 'em. This broker nominally specialises in taxi cover as well... sheesh.

hmmm. I quite like the idea of arranging insurance with an ennzed insurer, it appeals to my sense that the world is screwed up.

FWIW: I'm looking for "hire or reward" for 7 or 8 passenger seat capacity in a LR 110, will be all forward facing seats with belts, and if necessary (probably will be) the vehicle will have a seat/belt installation check done before putting it into service.

the last is because it's not using (all) factory fitted seats.

I looked into this some time ago as I was thinking of offering a towing service. The vast majority of insurers would simply not consider cover for hire and reward even though I was the only driver.

Only found one broker who would even consider it

You could try them, Manor Insurance 01424 718790

Basic premium was going to be about £600+ but I just gave up the idea in the end - too hard and difficult.
