What is learner driver insurance?

Learner driver insurance is a type of cover specially designed for people learning to drive. It gives you more opportunity to learn to drive in a family member or friend’s car, so you can reduce driving lesson costs while preserving the car owner’s No Claims Bonus**. This can be affected if they add you to their insurance and you have an accident.

You can also get learner driver insurance for your own car, and with it you’ll have the opportunity to start earning your own accelerated No Claims Bonus**.

Insuring your own car

If you own your car as a provisional licence holder, we let you choose from various annual learner driver car insurance policies and levels of cover. You can also have your parent or spouse as a named driver, and we let you start building toward your first year’s No Claims Bonus too!**

Insuring someone else’s car

If you choose to insure someone else’s car, a provisional insurance policy will sit alongside the existing policy of the car you’re learning to drive in. Our learner car insurance lets you get insured for private practice in a friend or family member’s car – a great choice if you’re not planning on purchasing a car until after you’ve passed your test.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take my test in my car?

You’ll be delighted to hear the answer is yes you can.  Please note that once you sit your test your supervising driver must drive you home straight after the test regardless of whether you pass or fail. When you pass please then contact us to cancel your policy. Good luck!

Who can supervise me when I'm learning to drive?

Anyone who is over 21 years of age and who has held a valid full UK/EU Licence for at least 3 years can sit in the front seat with you while your practice driving.

Can I earn a No Claims Bonus as a Learner Driver?

You can start to build your no claims bonus whilst you have a learner driver policy with Collingwood. Providing your policy runs for 10 consecutive months without any accidents or incidents this will be accelerated to 1 years no claims bonus.

Is there a mileage limit?

Great news!  There are no mileage limits on our short term or annual learner driver policies, you can drive as much or as little as you wish.

Do I need a black box fitted?

Great news! There is no need for a black box fitted to the car on our learner driver policies as you will be supervised at all times.  

What happens when I pass?
