Frequently Asked Questions

Learning in a Borrowed Car – 'Yes' and the vehicle must remain insured for the duration of the policy.

Learning in your Own Car – 'No' if the car is owned and registered in your name, this is the only policy you require to be legally insured on the road.

A learner driver will often look to learn in a borrowed car, or one they own themselves. Learner driver insurance can cover both these options, but the way the cover works is slightly different for each case.

When the learner uses a borrowed car, the learner policy acts as a separate independent insurance just covering the learner driver when they are driving. The car must already be insured by its owner under a separate annual policy for when the owner uses the car. The advantage of this type of policy is that the owner avoids risking the No Claims Bonus earned under their own policy, as a claim originating from when the learner is driving will be made under this learner policy instead.

We also provide both short-term and annual insurance for learners who will be learning to drive in their own car. In these scenarios, this would be the only active insurance policy required on the car.

No. Our 'learner driver with a borrowed car' policies are a separate policy to cover the learner driver only. The claim would come under this policy only, not the owner's policy. So in this scenario, this will not affect the No Claims Bonus of the owner of the car in the result of a claim.

Unfortunately, we do not provide cover for learners over the age of 25. We offer borrowed car policies to learners aged 17-25. We offer owner policies to learners on an annual basis (partically refunded if the Driving Test is passed during that period) - you can get a quote for this on our sister site, https://safelyinsured.co.uk/learnerquotes.

The supervising driver must;

• be aged 25 or over
• hold a valid Full UK Driving Licence for over 3 years (without any DR coded convictions within the last 5 years)

Markerstudy: 7-140 Days Policies

You can be added as a learner named driver on most policies, however this can cost a lot more money, not be very flexible in terms of how long the learner will be on the policy for, and it will affect the No Claims Bonus for the policyholder. This is why a separate learner driver policy is often the best choice, as you can take out learner driver insurance for as long as you want, it takes minutes to set up, and it can save you money and hassle without affecting any No Claims Bonus.

If a learner driver is caught driving alone or without an adequate supervisor in the UK they can be fined up to £1000 and be given 6 points on their licence. The points on your licence can make it very difficult and expensive to get insurance once you pass your test. It's important to make sure you have a supervisor with you at all times when learning to drive. Make sure your supervisor is allowed to supervise you as a learner driver and check they have had their licence for at least 3 years and are at least 25 years old.
