PCO & Taxi Replacement Vehicles

For a PCO, taxi or private-hire driver, your vehicle isn’t simply how you get around — it’s how you earn your living.

We understand private hire

When your vehicle is damaged in a non-fault accident, every day without suitable transport can affect your ability to work and generate income. A normal courtesy car may also be of little use if it cannot legally be used for private-hire work.

Simply Accident Management understands the specific requirements of professional drivers. Through our specialist vehicle network, we can arrange appropriately licensed replacement vehicles for eligible drivers while their own vehicle is being repaired or their claim is being resolved.

At the same time, we can manage the vehicle-related aspects of the accident, including recovery, assessment, repairs and total-loss assistance.

Keep working

Our priority is to minimise unnecessary disruption.

Once we have assessed your circumstances, vehicle and licensing requirements, we work with specialist providers to source an appropriate PCO replacement vehicle as quickly as practicable.

Specialist PCO fleet

Our providers can cater for a range of private-hire requirements, including standard PCO vehicles, executive vehicles, larger passenger vehicles and electric/private-hire models, subject to licensing requirements and availability.

Uber, Bolt and minicab drivers

Whether you drive for Uber, Bolt, a local minicab firm or another licensed private-hire operator, we can work with specialist providers to source an appropriately licensed replacement vehicle, subject to eligibility, licensing requirements and availability.

When you get in touch, tell us which platforms you work on and your licensing arrangements, so we can assess the right replacement for you.

Where you require a vehicle in order to continue private-hire work, we will seek an appropriately licensed replacement through our specialist providers, subject to eligibility, local licensing requirements and availability.
We aim to arrange suitable replacement transport as quickly as practicable once the claim and hire requirement have been assessed. Specialist licensed vehicles may take longer to source depending on availability.
Where credit hire is appropriate, the hire provider will normally seek to recover the charges from the at-fault insurer. The hire agreement and any circumstances in which you could become liable will be explained before supply.
