car insurance query
When i get car insurance ie comprehensive, will that cover doing paid airport transfers, or do i need to get an add on onto my insurance. I wont be doing it as a regular business only now and then to supplement our other income. Thanks

I don't believe that ordinary comprehensive insurance will cover you "for Hire and reward'. But the best way to get a true answer is to ask your insurance company.

It will already state in your POLICY document Not for HIRE or REWARD. It would cost extra.

Just make sure your legally water tight, because carrying fare paying passengers is treading on thin ice here in Cyprus.
Re: car insurance query
In doing paid airport transfers you are acting as a taxi. This is illegal unless you have a taxi licence and voids any motor insurance you have.
Re: car insurance query
But suely not paid as per a taxi but just a contribution to the running cost of the vehicle as a way of saying thank you. Paid as well before setting off. simple.

No its running a taxi....thats why I said cover your back...legally your not allowed to drive anyone for payment without a licence..and the way things work here, Cyprus is so small ''people will get to hear about it in no time....apparently you need a professional driving licence, to carry passengers and the ability to take a test in the Greek language.....O by the way did I mention the Taxi driving Mafia, who dont take kindly to expats earning a bit of pocket money on the side.

If ever we took anyone to the airport.................we always tell the Lady in the party that she is our daughter (diffrent surnames) and never give us any money outside the terminal. That is, of course, if ever we took anyone to the airport.
