What sets Halo Guard apart
l Tailored for licensed taxis and PHVs: most consumer dashcams are not built with GDPR or licensing compliance in mind.
l No audio recording: a rare feature that ensures full legal compliance without sacrificing video quality.
l TfL-approved: that’s a big deal for London-based drivers and sets it apart from most mainstream brands.
Should you choose Halo Guard?
l If you are a professional driver or operate a licensed vehicle, Halo Guard is purpose-built for your needs. While other brands often fall short on compliance and tailored deterrents.
Potential insurance benefits
Installing the Road Angel Halo Guard taxi/PH dashcam could positively impact your insurance rates in several ways - especially if you are a taxi or private hire driver:
l Lower premiums: some insurers offer discounts for professionally installed dashcams, particularly those approved by
local authorities like TfL and

l No claims discount protection: in the event of a dispute, clear footage can help prove you were not at fault, preserving your no claims bonus.
l Faster claims resolution: having video evidence speeds up the claims process, reducing downtime and hassle.
l Fraud prevention: helps protect against staged accidents or “crash for cash” scams, which insurers take seriously.
Why Halo Guard stands out
l UKGDPR compliant: with audio permanently disabled, it meets strict privacy regulations—making it legally installable in licensed vehicles.
l Professional installation: many insurers require dashcams to be hardwired by approved engineers to qualify for discounts.
l Parking mode: records incidents while parked, which can be crucial for hit-and-run claims.
While not all insurers advertise dashcam discounts publicly, many will consider it during underwriting - especially if you can show it is TfL-approved and installed by a certified technician.
