(if applicable) You will also need to input any claims and convictions your additional drivers may have on the policy.

If you are learning to drive with the same friend or family member, they can add you as a named driver on their motor insurance policy. However, whilst this will cover you to drive their vehicle under correct supervision, it will increase the main policyholder’s insurance premiums. It will also affect their No-Claims Discount if you have an accident.

Some learner drivers feel more comfortable practising their driving skills in their own car rather than someone else’s. You can take your driving test in your car, provided it meets certain rules. For more information, see Driving test in your own car.

Once you pass your test, you must contact us straight away so we can update your policy. Otherwise, you won’t be insured to drive the vehicle home from the test centre.

We don’t require provisional holders to fit a black box whilst they are learning to drive under supervision. However, they will need to fit a black box when they switch to a full licence policy.

A black box or telematics device is a small electronic gadget installed in a vehicle that monitors driving behaviour. It collects data on factors like speed, braking, and the time of day you drive. The device provides insurers with accurate data about a motorists driving habits. If you drive safely and responsibly, your premium may be reduced at renewal. 

A black box is a great way for young motorists to get affordable car insurance. It can also help them stay safe on the roads by providing regular feedback on how they drive.

For more information, see Telematics frequently asked questions. 

The learner driver must be accompanied by a qualified driver aged at least 35 years or over, who has held a Full UK driving licence for at least three years and has not been disqualified during that period.

Our learner driver policies cover provisional licence holders aged between 17 and 24.

Your insurance only covers the car you originally insured, not any other cars.

Including a more experienced motorist as a named driver on a learner policy may reduce your premiums. Sharing the vehicle with someone else lowers the risk of accidents. However, the named driver cannot be the vehicle’s main driver or owner.
