Set yourself up for success with daily learner insurance. Our temporary learner driver insurance has been created to help you add in the practice hours away from your driving instructor. All you need is a car, someone to supervise you and a day’s worth of insurance and you’re good to go.
Being able to insure a learner driver for a day gives you true flexibility. Something that adding a learner to your existing policy doesn’t do. You’ll protect your No Claims Discount and give a learner a chance to add valuable practice when you need it, on top of their driving lessons.
Not only is it cheaper than adding them to your insurance, but it’s cheaper than driving lessons too! Just enter the car’s details and get your quote instantly. Buy cover in minutes and you’ll be out on the road practising. It is so easy; all you need is a provisional licence and a suitable car to learn in.
Customer surveys reveal that the UK motorists’ second-biggest car-related concern is the cost of insurance. Short term learner driver insurance is a great way to save money and stay covered while you learn to drive.
Our one day learner insurance offers student drivers a policy of their own. It lets them practice in their own time, away from their lessons and instructor. Adding the hours they need to pass their test.
As you can get insured instantly, and drive in a matter of minutes, you can insure a learner for a day whenever you want. This makes it an amazingly flexible option.
You won’t be tied into any long contracts or even have to call a current insurer to get added or removed from an existing policy. Drive your friend or family member’s car with fully comprehensive car insurance. Don’t put their no claims discount at risk.
Stats show that the average person needs 45 hours of lessons and an additional 22 hours of practice. So what are you waiting for? Get insured for the month and get as much practice in as you can.
Our temporary learner driver insurance can cover you to drive a friend’s car, family member’s car or even someone else’s car. All you need to do is make sure you have permission and a supervisor with you at all times. It’s time to get those hours in.
Daily insurance for learner drivers gives you the chance to improve your driving before your test, on a schedule that works for you. Our flexible cover lets you insure a learner for as little as 1 day or up to 24 weeks.
The named driver must always be accompanied by someone over 25 who owns a full UK driving licence that they’ve held for at least 3 years.
You can use it to take your test too, but your daily learner driver insurance policy expires as soon as you pass. It is valid for 3 hours so you can drive home if you need to.

While many car insurance policies will allow you to add another driver, or even a learner driver, it may not be the best idea. If you simply add a learner driver to your insurance policy, any accidents or incidents could affect the owner’s no claims discount.
