Common questions about learner insurance

What is learner driver insurance and how is it different to provisional insurance? arrow
Learner insurance and provisional insurance are the same thing, and simply put, it's insurance that covers a learner driver whilst they're practicing in a friend or family member's car. There are a few rules and stipulations around where you can drive and who with, which is why we put together our complete guide to learner driver insurance. If you've got more questions about how it works, we're pretty sure you'll find the answer over there.
Who can supervise a learner and how old must they be?arrow
Any driver who is over 25, who currently holds a current valid full UK driving licence, and has done for at least three years, can supervise you. It doesn't even need to be the person who owns the car. Of course, you'll need the permission of whoever owns the car - we're sure you knew that anyway!
Before you head out practising, why not read our guide to make sure you get the most out of private practice
Will I be covered to take my driving test with learner insurance?arrow
Yes. You will need to take your insurance policy documents with you and ensure the car meets certain requirements set by the government. We’ve summarised the main points here but we advise you to read the full requirement on the government website.
Can more than one learner driver be insured on the same car?arrow
This learner driver car insurance only covers the learner driver named on the policy. However, if there is more than one learner driver to insure each driver can have their own policy and practise in the same car.
Does temporary learner driver insurance cover you after you’ve passed your test?arrow
This policy is designed specifically for learner drivers, so cover will cease as soon as you pass your driving test. So, if you do take the test in the insured car - make sure you arrange a lift home from the test centre.
Do you offer shorter term learner insurance?arrow
A lot of people look for really short term learner insurance, from one day or even just one hour. We don’t think that’s the best approach, you need regular practice over a few weeks to see any benefit, which is why our learner insurance starts at 30 days.
What is the policy excess?arrow
You will need to pay the first £250 towards the claim if there is a fire, the car is stolen or you have an accident whilst you're driving.
