A Shannon hackney driver is among those calling for insurance companies to offer rebates again this year.
Insurance companies have defended their decision not to offer partial refunds to motorists, despite fewer claims and lower traffic volumes on the roads during the pandemic.
Seán McLoughlin believes refunds are in order due to most taxi drivers being out of work currently.
The Shannon chauffeur says he is also facing difficulties in accessing the Pandemic Unemployment Payment as he is claiming the state pension.
