Hello all,

We have purchased a Metrocab Series 2 for personal use and are having trouble finding a company to insure us. Any advice / previous experience would be greatly appreciated.

It is still licensed as a hackney carriage. Searching through the forums I found out that we should de-license the vehicle if we are using it as a personal car. How do we go about de-licensing?

Thanks very much

Steve

Steveyj, if the vehicle is licenced and you don't have a badge you will be driving it illegally.

 

Just hand the plate back to the council and tell them the licence is no longer required.


Why don't you get a proper job???
