As an experienced learner driver insurance provider, all these car insurance policies are designed to allow you the flexibility to get as much driving experience as possible, especially outside of a driving lesson with someone other than your normal driving instructor present.
For annual Learner Driver Insurance Policies, our minimum criteria are as follows:
An accompanying named driver must be:
Always check with your individual policy wording to make sure of your insurers requirements.
Our annual learner insurance policies are designed for you to learn to drive in motor vehicles as the car owner - providing provisional insurance for provisional drivers under a provisional driving licence. A provisional driver can also sometimes be referred to as a permit driver.
Learner policies are valid as long as the driver holds a Provisional Driving Licence, this means that upon you passing the practical driving test, when the learner becomes a Licensed Driver and receives their Full UK Driving Licence, the policy will end. You will then need to arrange a new policy as a New Driver. A refund will be calculated as a return premium based upon the time left on the Learner policy (subject to no on-going claims).
From our own research, we found that people who practice driving outside of their driving lessons are more likely to pass their driving test quicker. We believe this is because learners have built up more confidence and are more aware of their surroundings, purely through all those additional hours of driving.
Being able to take out cover to temporarily add a Learner to someone else's car whilst learning is a fairly new concept in car insurance. It removes a lot of the old barriers in relation to parents being concerned about any negative effect upon their own insurance policy, losing their No Claims Bonus Discount for example. With this new type of auto insurance policy, it acts as a totally separate 'top up' policy, just to cover the Learner Driver for driving practice - therefore removing those issues. More and more learners are recognising that the more often you practice, the more likely you are to pass your test, just like with any exam in life.
At Safely Insured, we take pride in providing you with a stress-free experience and endeavor to provide you with policies that caters to your needs and requirements.
We provide Learner Driver Insurance to match most scenarios, offering online cover, for short-term learner cover and annual learner and permit driver policies via our online quote or over the phone.
There are two types of short-term learner insurance and permit driver policies available, providing provisional insurance and temporary insurance cover to practice in someone else's car or your own car. The main insurance criteria for each, is as follows:
Please note: We temporarily are unable to offer our own Learner Policy, due to one of our insurers pulling out of the market, and we are currently looking for an alternative insurer.

If you take formal driving lessons as a provisional licence holder with a driving instructor, they will have specialist insurance as a qualified driver to cover you throughout your driving lessons, which is valuable for providing a new driver with provisional driver experience. You will only be able to drive without a personal learner insurance policy in place if you are with a registered driving instructor taking lessons. Taking out a learner driver insurance policy allows you to have additional practice sessions on the road with provisional licence insurance as part of the car insurance policy, whilst you are working towards obtaining your driving licence.
There are many situations you may be faced with as a learner driver, whereby Young Driver Insurance and Learner Driver Insurance can help. Here are some examples of a few of those situations:

No. When it comes to learner insurance, it's essential to understand the ins and outs of the policy to drive confidently and responsibly. One common question many new learner drivers ask is whether there are restrictions on the number of hours they can drive for or the time of day or evening. Fortunately, in most cases, there are typically no specific limitations on the number of hours you can drive or the times you can practice driving, regardless of whether you are a teen driver or young driver. This flexibility gives the insured named driver the ability to gain valuable experience behind the wheel at their own pace, under the supervision of an experienced driver. However, it's crucial to prioritise quality over quantity when it comes to practice hours under car insurance, focusing on improving skills and confidence on the road. Remember, every hour spent practising is an opportunity to enhance your driving abilities and become a safer, more competent driver in the long run; as well as allowing young drivers to practice driving skills outside of a driving lesson with provisional insurance.
When it comes to learner driver insurance, one common concern is whether the policy covers you with a valid car insurance policy whilst taking your DVSA driving test. The good news is, yes, most policies do provide coverage for your driving test. However, it's important to note that the level of cover may vary once you have successfully passed your driving test. At Safely Insured, we understand the importance of clarity and transparency in learner driver insurance coverage. If you plan to use the car for your actual DVSA driving test, it is advisable to check our website or reach out to us directly for guidance on the most suitable type of cover for this specific purpose, as cover on most learner policies ends immediately you pass your driving test. In these scenarios, you will need to arrange for the vehicle owner to drive the car home afterwards, if you are learning in a borrowed car. If you are learning in your own car, you will need to arrange cover under a Full Licence holder policy, to start immediately you pass your driving test. With over 35 years of experience in the industry, Safely Insured prides itself on a solid foundation built upon the core values of providing the best value, exceptional service, and comprehensive cover to our valued clients. Our commitment to ensuring our customers are adequately protected and supported throughout their driving journey remains unwavering. As a well-respected car insurance broker, we search through a variety of car insurance quotes to find you the best deal on cheap car insurance.
No, you can take out learner insurance on any reasonable car, whether it's an automatic or a manual car. There are exceptions to this however, for example a learner driver would struggle to obtain classic car insurance on cars with a higher insurance group or value.
