Insurance for Learner Drivers

When learning to drive, it is vital that the car you are using is insured to be used on the road. Just as you must legally have a provisional drivers license, being insured is a legal requirement, even if the car does not belong to you. Proper Finance is here to keep you safe by connecting you with great insurance for learner drivers.

As a learner driver, you pose a greater risk on the roads to others than certified drivers do. For this reason, it is absolutely fundamental that the car you are driving is insured. When taking lessons with a professional instructor, it will be the case that insurance on their car is included in the cost of your lessons. If you are practising between lessons on a different vehicle it must also be insured.

How Much Does Car Insurance for Learner Drivers Cost?

Our team at Proper Finance have partnered with fair and trustworthy insurers who will be able to offer you competitive rates on car insurance for learners.

Learner driver insurance does not have to break the bank and can actually cost as little as just £2.50 a day! The amount that you will pay will depend on the level of cover that you choose to go with, and the size of the vehicle you are using.

The price you are offered will also depend on the insurance group that your car falls under, which is between 1 and 50, with 1 representing the least risky vehicles for insurance companies. Vehicles that are deemed to be risky may be so due to some repairs or modifications that they have undergone, because of their old age or more ancient model, or because they have a history of failure.

What Kind of Cover Can I get?

Whilst you can get long-term insurance policies, many learner drivers only need short-term learner’s cover on a vehicle until they get their full drivers licence. The time it takes for people to learn to drive is vastly varied, and we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise when learning, so our lenders are able to offer flexible terms and policies so that you can be covered for as long as you need.
