What is Short Term Learner Insurance?
Short term learner car insurance is a flexible way to practise your skills as a provisional driver. Whether you’re taking private lessons or wanting extra driving time before your test, learner insurance allows you to get on the road to master those skills. This enables you (the learner) to drive a friend or family member’s car over a short period of time.
You can choose the length of cover that suits you, with policies 30, 60, 90, 120, or 240 days in length. The best thing? Your insurance can be activated instantly. If you want extra practise before your test, paying for annual cover may not be necessary, so choosing between our various cover options allows you to decide what’s best for you!
Benefits of short-term provisional insurance
Instant comprehensive cover
In the event you suffer an accident, both the learner and car owner can rest assured with comprehensive cover.
No risk to car owner’s No Claims Discount
Great news for the car owner - your main insurance policy isn't affected as Marmalade's Learner Insurance is a separate policy to cover the learner while they are behind the wheel.
Simple and straightforward
It is quick and easy to get a quote and your policy can be up and running in minutes. As it’s a temporary policy, there’s no need for a black box - so you can be covered to drive straight away!
Adaptable cover
Select the most appropriate cover for you - 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, or 240 days, with options to add 7 or 14 days at renewal. You may want to take your time – or need a short burst to scrub up on a few skills. It’s up to you!

Why is temporary Learner Driver Insurance a good option?
What happens when I pass my test?
If you choose short term Learner Driver Insurance, your policy ends the moment you pass your test, so make sure someone else can drive you home again!
Fear not – we have some great options to get covered once you pass. We can help you stay insured on your parent’s car or help you insure your own set of wheels.
Alternatively, our Annual Learner Driver insurance switches from learner to full licence with no price increase when you pass your test. All you’ll need to do is let us know and you’ll be good to carry on driving with a full licence.
