They would not be able to do that with Uber because of the app. A private hire company might be able to get away with that, if it didn't electronically record journeys and passengers, but there is no way Uber drivers could do this.Oh, ok.
This chap was saying that Uber drivers save themselves 3 grand a year by just buying regular insurance and telling their passengers to say that they're just friends of the driver if there was an accident.
Added to which, the cars themselves are licensed - they have stickers in the window in London to show that - and that requires them to have the right insurance amongst other things.
