Our Pay As You Go Insurance covers young drivers when they are behind the wheel of the parent’s car that is specified on the policy.

Start your policy by purchasing the first 500 miles then top up as and when you need to. We'll cover provisional and full licence holders aged 17-27 on most family cars - provided the car is not over 20 years old, above group 32 insurance, or over £30,000 in value.

Frequently asked questions

As this is a pay per mile policy, you will need to fit your tag and pair it with the Marmalade Insurance app on your phone to enable measurement of the miles used. The box should arrive with you within a couple of days of purchase, and your cover will start as soon as the black box device and phone app pair successfully.

Miles will be valid for 12 months from purchase, so you have plenty of time to use them if you are not driving that often. The great news is that, for every year you stay claim free, you will earn a year's No Claims Discount!

No-one wants to run out of miles mid-journey, so we've made it easy by arranging for your policy to top up automatically when you have 50 miles remaining. Just make sure you have a valid payment card on file with enough funds to pay for the top up. You will be asked to select your preferred top up amount when you purchase, from 100 - 500 miles. If you reach a point where you no longer need the insurance, you can simply give us a call and we will cancel the policy and refund any miles remaining since your last top up.
