Frequently Asked
Questions
No, breakdown cover isn’t a legal requirement for taxi drivers, but it is essential if you want to make sure you, your vehicle and your passengers are protected at all times.
Breakdowns often catch us off guard, but with private hire taxi breakdown cover, you never have to worry about unexpected tyre punctures or flat batteries, for example, affecting your work and inconveniencing your passengers.

At Driver Guardian, we don’t currently provide breakdown cover for vehicles over 15 years old, as they can be much more difficult to repair.
We can also only provide cover for vehicles that have done up to 250,000 miles – so if you’ve racked up more than this, we unfortunately won’t be able to help.
If you have any questions about our policy terms, please don’t hesitate to contact our friendly customer service advisors. We’re always available and more than happy to help however we can!
At Driver Guardian, we aim to attend all callouts within the hour – but 95% of the time, our recovery operators make it within just 35 minutes.
With 3500 vehicles and technicians, we can reach you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year wherever you are in the UK, and have all of the essential skills and knowledge to get you back up and running as quickly and safely as possible.
