Hassle-free annual insurance

When it comes to insuring a learner driver - it can be a daunting, time consuming and expensive. And then, once the young driver passes their test, you have the headache of finding a new policy, and potentially the expense of buying another car.


Our Named Young Driver insurance is a smart, hassle-free way to enable your young driver to share the family car from learner to full licence. It provides seamless cover if they pass their test during the policy year, which means there’s no need to take out a whole new policy once they get their full driving licence - better yet, there’s no price increase if they pass their test during the policy term.

No Claims Discounts, yours is protected & the learner builds their own

With Named Young Driver insurance, the No Claims Discount of the car owner won't be affected if the young driver needs to make a claim. And, crucially for the young driver, they begin to earn their own No Claims Discount as early as possible, which in some cases it could save them some money when insuring their own car in the future, as long as they remain claim free the entire year.

Learner to full licence, or short-term learner insurance?

It depends on your circumstances. If the young driver plans to continue sharing a parent's car once they get their full licence, it could be more convenient to get annual cover, our Named Young Driver Insurance.

If the learner would like to practice in a parent’s car, but get their own when they pass, a short-term learner policy could be more suitable. With our temporary learner driver insurance, you can choose cover lengths from 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 to 240 days, depending on your needs.

Some people might find it more cost effective to purchase a short-term policy for the length of cover they need, compared to an annual policy.

    Frequently asked questions

    How does this differ from adding a named driver to the main insurance?arrow
    Our Named Young Driver insurance provides an alternative to this, as it is a separate policy that just covers the young driver when they are behind the wheel. This means that should the young driver need to make a claim, it won't affect any No Claims Discount the car owner has earned on their policy. Plus, they will earn their own No Claims Discount, which would not be the case if they were added to the car owner's policy.
    Can a young driver be covered in their own car with Named Young Driver Insurance?arrow
    No, that’s because our Named Young Driver Insurance is specifically designed for learner and full licence young drivers who are sharing a parent's car, which must already have main insurance in place. If the young driver will be driving more than 50% of the journeys in the parent’s car, our Black Box Insurance is more suitable, as they can be insured on their own car.

    Both our Named Young Driver Insuranceand Black Box Insurance Black Box Insurance use a black box – the Named Young Driver option is simply annual cover on a parents car, and Black Box Insurance is annual cover on a young drivers own car. The great news is that both policies cover the young driver from provisional licence to full licence with no price increase on passing their test - and of course, have the chance to earn their own No Claims Discount if they remain claim-free an entire year.
