Once you’ve started driving it’s good to have knowledge of insurance, even as a learner driver. Here’s the no-nonsense, no jargon, low-down of what you need to know about insurance as a learner driver.

When you need insurance as a learner driver

After you’ve received your provisional licence, you’ll probably want to get started with driving lessons! You will not need car insurance for your driving lessons. Your driving instructor will have their own policy in place to cover learners in their car. You might also want to practice your driving outside of your lessons. Whether you’re doing that in a borrowed car or your own, it is a legal requirement to have insurance for private practice.

How does learner insurance work?

The most traditional way to get insurance as a learner driver is to have a friend or a family member, add you to their annual policy for a fee. However, there could be a simpler way to do it!
