insurd Partners with GoShorty to Launch Temporary Taxi Insurance

FLINT, Wales - Aug. 11, 2026 - PRLog -- insurd, the North Wales-based digital insurance broker with over 50 years of arranging insurance for UK customers, has today announced the addition of temporary taxi insurance to its growing suite of short-term vehicle cover, arranged in partnership with GoShorty.

insurd has long arranged annual taxi insurance for licensed drivers across the UK, and that remains central to what the business offers. The addition of temporary taxi insurance through GoShorty addresses a distinct and growing need: short-term, standalone hire and reward cover for the situations where a 12-month policy is not the right fit.

Temporary taxi insurance provides a pay-as-you-go — fully comprehensive hire and reward cover for a fixed period of 7, 14, 21 or 28 days, with no long-term commitment and no impact on an existing annual policy's no-claims bonus.

"For most taxi and private hire drivers, an annual policy is absolutely the right solution, and arranging that specialist cover has always been a core part of what we do at insurd. But we also recognise that the way people work in the taxi trade has changed — seasonal driving, first-time drivers finding their feet, or part-time work alongside another job. That's the gap temporary taxi insurance fills perfectly. We're delighted to be working with GoShorty on this — they're the specialists in short-term cover."

Craig Shaw, Director, insurd

"We're excited to work with insurd to bring more flexibility to taxi and private hire drivers across the UK. We know that not every driver wants, or needs, to commit to an annual policy, so this partnership is all about giving drivers more choice, more control and access to comprehensive short-term cover that fits around the way they live and work."

Chris Evitt, Director of Capacity and Distribution, GoShorty

The launch of temporary taxi insurance adds to insurd's expanding range of short-term vehicle cover, which includes temporary car, van, motorhome, campervan and impound release insurance — all arranged through GoShorty. Across the range, customers can complete a quote and purchase cover in under two minutes via insurd's website.
