  3. Hi, Im totally new to private hire taxi and I just need to go to pick up my first ever license from Birmingham City council before starting a job like this for the 1st time. Hopefully by registering on these forums I will get good advice that can guide me in the right direction. Ok the questions are: - Where is the cheapest place online to get private hire insurance? Or does anyone know any local insurance places in Birmingham? - What type of covers available for private hire insurance and what add ons are typically available? - I have built up 6 years no claims bonus. Can this no claims bonus be transferred to taxi insurance? - What insurance is needed for uber eats or uber health? Will normal car insurance will do for these? - Does the address on the insurance has to match the address on the private hire license when applying for Uber? Is Uber a national company where there is no restrictions to where you can work in the country? - How does Uber verify the uploaded insurance document whether it covers for private hire? - Any other tips or advice on how to get the right insurance for cheap and what type of cover is suitable? Cheers,
