Income protection for taxi drivers can be placed with a number of insurance providers, but you should ensure that your application is placed with an insurer who will accept your occupation with an own occupation definition. Own occupation is the best definition that you can have with income protection as any claim you make will be based upon you ability to be a taxi driver.

If your policy is written with a suited occupation or any occupation definition, then any claim you make will be subject to stricter guidelines of functional ability testing, making it harder to claim on the policy. Income protection policies are written with set deferment periods based upon the affordability of the policy, savings you have and any employment benefits you receive. Our financial advisers can discuss the options for 1 day, 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks, 26 weeks and 52 weeks with you, to help you in your decision.
