Plan Insurance to stop offering future black taxi cover after a decade of servicing the trade
After a decade of serving London’s black cab drivers, Plan Insurance has announced the end of its black cab insurance services.
The decision stems from a strategic shift by the company’s insurance provider, leaving Plan unable to offer cover for this iconic trade.
Existing policyholders have been assured that their current insurance will remain valid until the end of their policy term. Plan Insurance has also confirmed its continued support for customers during this transition, offering assistance and guidance as they approach renewal.
Grant Georgiades, a representative of Plan Insurance, reflected on the company’s decade-long involvement with black cab drivers, highlighting the mutual respect and collaboration forged over the years.
The withdrawal of the black cab product marks a significant change, but Plan Insurance has pledged to assist its customers in navigating their options. While this decision closes a chapter in the company’s history, Georgiades expressed hope for future opportunities to re-enter the sector.
Georgiades said: “It’s not easy to say goodbye, and we hope this is only a temporary situation. Black cabs are more than just vehicles – they symbolise tradition, reliability, and community in the UK. While we may no longer provide their cover, we’ll remain firm admirers of the trade.”
