INSURANCE SPECIALIST HELPS TAXI DRIVERS GET INTO TOP GEAR DURING PANDEMIC
Taxi drivers are steering to support frontline workers amid the coronavirus crisis after an extension of their insurance policies backed by one of the country’s largest brokers.
InsureTAXI, based in Southport, has moved to allow taxi drivers to carry out voluntary work giving ‘rides’ to small parcels, take- aways and shopping destined for NHS staff and vulnerable people.
Many are providing their services free of charge and took the opportunity to put a smile on faces delivering Easter eggs to their local communities.
Gary Fennah, Head of taxi sales, said: “We have negotiated with our panel of insurers to extend policies. Many insurers have made these changes free of charge and it has been heart-warming to see the response of taxi drivers as a result. Thou- sands are now doing their bit to ensure people in their local communities have access to essentials.
“They are picking up and delivering ‘Click and Collect’ food orders, parcels and pre- scriptions. Others are carrying out voluntary tasks for the NHS such as delivering medical supplies from one hospital to another.
“Our aim was to support the country while keeping taxi drivers on the road. We are hearing great stories of resourcefulness and resilience amongst the taxi driving commu- nity and salute their efforts as unsung heroes.”
InsureTAXI, part of The County Group has developed lasting relationships with insur- ers which allows great prices to be found on a range of different insurance solutions ranging from taxi breakdown cover to taxi replacement vehicle insurance.
The Southport call centre dedicated to taxi insurance caters for all types of taxi insur- ance including taxi fleets and minibuses as well as private and public hire and break- down.
For taxi drivers who can’t work or are choosing not to during the crisis, there are different payment options, payment holi- days or reduced levels of cover.
The County Group, founded in 2003, is one of the UK’s Top 25 Insurance brokers with 29 branches across the UK providing quotes and policies for customers but also taking an active part in the communities they serve – local charity fundraising being key.
Whilst branches are closed, teams remain fully functional working from home to pro- tect their employees, clients and the NHS.
