Yeah,did mine in Feb....renewal notice comes with a pin number to do online.
-
Ah thats grand ,thanks hal
-
You're most welcome.
-
And do you need to provide insurance policy number?
-
Speaking of insurance,are liberty,allianz and axa the only 3 taxi insurers in Ireland ?
-
It appears taxi insurance is STILL rising in spite of all the efforts the government claim they are making to bring it down.ive just been on the phone to my current insurer and they are quoting me well over 2 k even though I have no points. I tried a few more,and even WITHOUT bonus protection they want over 2 k
-

You do.....the online form is pretty straightforward.
-
the government has done fuck all to bring insurance down.
it's an EU directive/license that authorizes the insurance cartels to legally rob people for the time being.
the pro-EU government knows this but thank god the peasants don't.
did nobody notice that during the current insurance hike a company did'nt come in and offer reasonable quotes.
they wudda stole 100% of the business while everybody else was gouging but they were content to sit back blackmailing loyal customers.
-
If there was some way in which insurance was optional rather then compulsory it might sort the problem.
-
Sure why do you need insurance inanyways?
-
Tony its not such a daft idea.mayor companies like Dublin bus do, not have to insure themselves simply because they are such a big company that they can afford to meet any legal challenge put to them.while I know none of us are in a similar position,the option should be available to all motorists that in the event they are involved in an accident,that if nessesary they will sell their house to meet the costs

People sue your insurance company, not you.
If they sued you personally, you could lose your house* if they won against you. (MIBI** wouldn't exist if insurance was optional)
* Most people's main asset is their house. The pension is next. Fancy losing either if you lost?
** The Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland was established in 1955 by an Agreement between the Government and the companies underwriting motor insurance in Ireland for the purpose of compensating victims of road traffic accidents caused by uninsured and unidentified vehicles.

You'd risk going homeless (and your kids inheriting nothing) rather than pay for insurance?
-
No but I am saying it should be optional for any lunitic who WOULD be prepared to take a chance.id say there would be a lot more takers then you think.it might also take the robbing bastard insurance companies down a peg or two
-
Oddly, most of those lodging claims against Insurance companies have never owned or paid for a policy themselves.
Their Insurance is MINI, which others pay for via their premia.
-
There are 2 states in America which offer the type of system im talking about .new hampshire,and virginia.motor insurance is not compulsory,but you are libel for damages up, to 50 k in the event of an accident for which you are responsible
-
It's probably too risky.As far as I remember your taxi insurance covers you up to 10 million.All it takes is some dummy to fall getting out of your taxi and they could claim off you for a brain damage then your gaff is their gaff.

If you havnt got it they cant take it, put everything in your wifes name.
To some that could be a riskier option.

Yeah Tony , whether its in her name or not, "It's in her Name"

To have your own insurance you'd need possibly a few million in an account boxed off to cover some hypothetical fatal crash with 4 passengers.If I had a few million I deffo wouldn't spend me spare time driving drunks around for fun.I'd be at home in me jocks watching judge judy with me pet tiger.
Back to reality though the reason were paying more is because there are less of us.When there were loads of us everyone had less customers so the risk was divided up amongst more lads.
The stuff DMG was talking about is also true but I think they've since built up their war chests sufficiently in the insurance companies.Now they're trying it on a bit because they hear taxi drivers are loaded making loads a money.Newer motors are probably pushing up repair costs too.
-
Another factor is double jobbers suffering from farigue.if your tired having worked 40 hours in your nine to five,and them your out milking it at the weekend,your bound to be suffering from fatigue
-
Sure there are drivers on here mocking lads for only wanting to work 40hours a week.If you're not getting tired after 5/6 busy hours behind the wheel then you're probably not watching the road.Or else you really are tired and you don't realise it.
Separately I've picked up the representatives from Liberty insurance on a number of occasions coming out of the four courts.You'd wanna be careful what yer saying in the car.If every second driver they meet is talks about doing 60 plus hours a week they'll think we're all at it.

I think it’s the lads that work 10 hours a week.
