If you’re a provisional licence holder, we can help. Learner driver insurance does have a few other criteria you’ll have to meet though.
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 monthly 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.
