its all bollox .There are some corporate policies around where drivers pool their NCB it suits drivers who are high points or had accidents but I spoke a few years ago to a broker if you decide to leave the policy you have no personal NCB as you surrendered it to the pooled insurance .Is this what you are talking about if so be carefull you could be subsidizing somebody elses insurance and risking your own

No John, that’s not what he is talking about at all. Members of TDORA have manage dreams to get a company to give their drivers discounts on insurance. Zero is the name of the company that’s doing the insurance.

The high cost of insurance was keeping some out of the business but now that’s taken away there will be millions driving taxis

Insurance seems to have come down in the last year or two, regardless. New entrants invariably work for mytaxi and are enticed by it's free training and bonuses (I think someone said it's 3 large now) for passing the exam. Interestingly, Liberty is the only firm that asks if you work for mytaxi before quoting rates of up to treble the market norm.

New taxi Insurance Co, worth a try, report back if near renewal ? Sounds great if it's all true and they're not Maltese and dodgy.

I'd be inclined to tell TDORA to go and fuk themselves.One of their lobbying submissions from the 30 of January mentions a chronic shortage of taxi drivers.These guys aren't our friends any more than Uber or Mytaxi.Why would we give them our money.I'd prefer to pay a few hundred extra to Axa than have these pricks flood the place with drivers again.

Its like mytaxi asking existing drivers to advertise for MORE drivers,its laughable

I believe it only works if you're working for a TDORA company and are being tracked by the radio company's computer software - so they know when you're working.

But, what happens if you just pick up a fare on the street and not through the radio? No cover if not tracked by the software?

I'm worried about the tax man too. If it's all tracked through the computer systems, how long until the government asks for information to be shared like they did with Airbnb?

I fear the old agage of if it looks too good to be true then it usually may apply but I'd love to be proved wrong - cheap insurance would be welcomed by all.

[Bob Shillin]

Not working, not insured? No S+D cover? Doesn't sound righf. Renewal notice from Allianz next week so will give ZEGO a call and report back.

[lucas]

Do report back. Prices sound great but heard a few worrying things re bonus protection, 14% interest on direct debit - in addition to prior concerns! After being burnt too many times need to keep our eyes wide open

I called TDORA got a guy from Belfast ,He asked was i a TDORA member,I said no,I asked who are members ?,he said Google it ,He said they check that you are working with the members before they quote me.I wouldn't pay a cab company 5K/6K a year for a insurance discount.I wonder who under rights the policy?

[mercenary for hire]

Just in case yis didn't open the links on Lobbying.ie these lads have made 9 lobbying submissions to the department of transport and more specifically Shane Ross himself.Most are about changing PSV regulations and mention 'chronic shortages' of taxis.

These chaps have zero interest in helping existing drivers but need new guys to drive their rentals and pay freight.I know I'm just stating the obvious but sometimes it's needed..without a fresh batch of idiots paying rent they start to fade away.

[lucas]

Paying for a radio to get an insurance discount is madness is you ask me.

[dalymount]

These cunts state there is a cronic shortage of taxis Are they having a laugh ,???-there is STILL far to many taxis.the people driving this is the likes of Kearns,Kelly,Ebbs,they want more taxis operating,and that will be the result of all this is you sign up for this insurance

Not enough taxis    Here's a screenshot from this morning.  This is just MyTaxi vehicles - about 40% empty?
