Headache12 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hi So after not making a penny renting from enterprise, i have purchased a car. However i do not understand what insurance I have to buy? Is it private hire? Or just normal personal insurance? Im so confused with this as google is giving me all sorts of information and im not clear from the uber app. What does everyone do? Also how do i get my car plated??? As the hire car had all this sorted. Thanks hope to get some help please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUED Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 You would insurance to cover you for the hire and reward for the carriage of passengers. You're local authority should tell you how to get your car plated, look on their website, it will be in the same section as your private hire driver's licence.

LUED Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 It's always going to be expensive, for the first year you've hold your private hire driver's licence. First year premiums of between £3,000 and £4,000 are not uncommon, especially in London. I expect it'd be cheaper because you're based in Birmingham? Most people pay in monthly instalments. Even experienced drivers with several years NCB pay around £1,000. duane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
