Well it isn't the firm that insures you. As a taxi driver you pay your own insurance like you would any car.
Now, this is a hard one flashy. Not sure if private hire can work for 2 companies at the same time
Can't see why not, but not sure.
And you don't know if he was private hire or Hackney. Now, Ginger works for a private hire company BUT, he has a Duel badge. A duel badge means he can quite easily go and park on the taxi rank in town and he is well in his right to do so, and well with in his rights to swap and change. If you are ever not sure if something is legal and above board, look at the yellow badge on the back. This will have, the car make, the drivers number AND whether they are Hackney, private or duel. And never be afraid to ask to see their personal badge that is round their neck, and they should ALWAYS ALWAYS wear this when working.
As for the company might be the same company and he was just swapping his signs over.... I can't see that. C/O that ginger works for is ... Church and ossy taxi' and Hyndburn cabs, but they never have to swap their signs.
