Taxi and Private Hire Accident Claims
A licensed replacement vehicle so you can keep working, plus a claim for the earnings you lost while off the road.
A plated, insured replacement vehicle so you can carry on working, arranged around your licensing authority’s requirements.
Plus a claim for the earnings you lost while off the road, and for costs like rent and insurance that kept running.
What you can claim
Licensed replacement
Plated and insured for private hire, so you can actually work.
Loss of earnings
For every day you were genuinely off the road.
Vehicle damage
Repair, or pre-accident value where it is written off.
Fixed costs
Rent, insurance and licence fees that ran on while you could not earn.
The evidence that decides it
Loss of earnings is proved with documents, not statements. Gather these now:
Earnings history
Operator statements, app summaries or bank statements covering the twelve weeks before the accident.
Proof you were off the road
Dates the vehicle was unavailable, garage records, and your operator confirming you were not working.
Your licences
Driver badge, vehicle licence and plate, establishing what class of vehicle you need.
Losing money every day?
For you the delay is the loss. Tell us your council and vehicle and we will move.
An unplated hire car does not solve your problem. It cannot lawfully be used for private hire work, so you still cannot earn - and it weakens the loss of earnings claim it was meant to prevent.

Terms and conditions apply to all services described on this page. Free recovery, storage and replacement vehicles are provided on the basis that the charges are recovered from the at-fault party’s insurer. We will explain the terms in plain English before anything is arranged.
Before we act for you we are required to verify your identity and to carry out fraud and anti-money laundering checks. This may include checks with credit reference and fraud prevention agencies, which will leave a record on your file.
Where fraud is suspected, information may be shared with fraud prevention agencies, insurers and law enforcement. Providing false or misleading information in support of a claim may mean your claim is refused, and can be a criminal offence.
