Taxi assistance during COVID-19

For customers of the Willis IRM taxi-scheme underwritten by Allianz, as well as our other taxi insurers, insurers are offering various levels of assistance under their policies. Below is a sample from the Allianz scheme.

Reduction to SD&P requests

• We will agree to request for reduction in cover to SD&P
• Premium reduction
• We will front load the discount for up to 2 months (31^st May) or up to renewal date whichever is the lesser from the effective date of the request
• For full pay customers this refund will be credited to brokers account.
• For Direct Debit customers we will initially offer the spreading of the discount across the remaining instalments
• If customer requires full taxi cover prior to expiry of 2 month period we will charge appropriate additional premium
• We will not request return of certificate
• This initiative will be reviewed at the end of April and Allianz have the right to withdraw this at any time
