Nuts & Bolts: London American General Agency (LAGA) has launched an excess and surplus auto liability taxi program in California. LAGA, which writes the program on Scottsdale paper, will offer a 10 percent discount for taxi fleets that use the DriveCam system. DriveCam is a video event recorder that captures and replays driving events just as the driver experienced them.

LAGA will write accounts for fleets of five or more cabs. Accounts usually have a SIR instead of a deductible. The program is open to agents and brokers.
Dollars: The program has a combined single limit of $350,000. There is no minimum premium, and premiums depend in part on location and loss ratio. Generally, premiums are $3,500 to $7,000 per unit.
Carrier: Risks for the program are approved by the federal risk purchasing group Radio Dispatched Public Livery Association.
