Hi all, my family have been with the AA for several years now. I have a family policy as I still live with parents, which also has my dad on it. My dad is a black cab taxi driver.
For the past several years, the AA used to cover vehicles for hire & reward and as such my dads taxi. I again renewed in May, believing the same however my dad has been told by some of his taxi friends that they don't cover them anymore under a consumer policy.
I've logged into my AA portal, and have downloaded the policy wording dated March 2023 (We bought our policy in May 2023) and it mentions 'Vehicles that are used to carry items or people for money' are not covered.
On our renewal email, there is a 2 page policy document and there is no mention that a H&R vehicle like a taxi is not covered.
We are worried that my dad has potentially been driving around with no breakdown cover for the past few months, and I'll be honest I've never really ventured in anything further than the basic breakdown cover for the family.
Any thoughts? Any recommendations what other providers taxi drivers have used?

sorted byFrom what you say, he's not covered so find a service that covers him from here on???
I believe the above is correct but happy to be corrected on this.
One of the household is their father who is covered as part of the policy.
So, all is good but the father drives a taxi.
Everyone is covered including the father but not when he is driving a taxi.
No chance of a refund I suspect because he is covered but not in his taxi.
