Your guide to the latest driving test booking changes, new DVSA rules and measures aimed at cutting waiting times for learner drivers across the UK.
Learner driver insurance can sometimes seem confusing, but we’re here to tell you it really is quite simple. In this article, we provide a quick myth-busting rundown on 5 common misconceptions around provisional insurance.
When thinking of learner driver insurance, one option is to be added as an additional driver on your parent’s existing car insurance policy. However, this can not only be costly but may risk the car owners no claims bonus if you were to have a bump. With Collingwood, you can get your own learner insurance policy to drive a friend or family member’s car whilst ensuring their no claims bonus remains safe. Plus, you could begin to earn your own no claims bonus with Collingwood Short-term and Annual Learner Driver Insurance.
It’s a common misconception that you can only learn to drive alongside a parent when you’re not with your driving instructor, however, with Collingwood, this isn’t the case. Our learner driver insurance allows you to learn with anyone over the age of 21, who has held a full UK driving licence for more than 3 years.
Whilst adding an additional driver to ‘traditional’ car insurance may make the price a little cheaper, this isn’t the case with Collingwood. Whilst you do always need to be accompanied by a passenger that is over the age of 21 and has held their driving licence for 3 years or more, they don’t need to be added as an additional driver.
Whilst it’s true that other learner driver insurance providers may require you to install telematics, or black box, in the car you insure, this is not the case with Collingwood Insurance.
With Collingwood learner driver insurance you can get a short term or annual quote and we won’t ask you to fit a black box before you start to learn to drive. Simply get a quote at the link below, purchase your insurance and you can start learning to drive today!
