Pay as you drive / Mileage Policies

Someone asked me recently about Norwich Unions pay as you drive car insurance scheme, they were not aware that the system had been scrapped.

NU ditched the entire system in the middle of 2008 because of under usage, which seems a shame.  It was one of the only truly different models for pricing insurance and seemed to be have a fair basis.

For many years discounts have been available for drivers who declare a low mileage but the NU scheme was genuinely different.  Many people were saving money insuring through it but at the end of the day NU were simply unable to get enough people signed up.

Taxi Insurance

One of the products we are on the verge of launching is Taxi Insurance - We are in discussion with a major broker to offer specialist private hire cover.

Many taxi drivers like to pay weekly or monthly for their oplicy in cash.  Other taxi offices use block buying power to purchase cover for a mini fleet and then charge their drivers (some making money from it!).   Other private hire drivers buy their cover in a similar way to a normal annual car insurance policy.

We need a partner who can handle and provide information on all of these forms of insurance giving our clients top advice.
