Learner driver insurance is a specific type of temporary car insurance for learner drivers that allows you to get some lesson time in your own car, or in a friend’s or relative’s car. It covers you to drive on a provisional licence in the short term while being properly supervised.
It’s a separate policy from that of the vehicle owner and means that their cover won’t be affected should you need to make a claim.
Learner driver insurance is great if you want to practise in a specific model, in a car which you know that you’ll be driving once you’ve passed, or if you just want to get in as much driving time as possible before your test.
Many learners choose to get experience driving outside of their regular lesson times with an instructor. In these cases, taking out temporary learner driver insurance is an ideal way to make sure that you remain properly covered.
What’s more, Dayinsure offers flexible and cheap temporary learner driver insurance that can cover you from one day right up to five months*, depending on your needs, and can be arranged in minutes.
*One month’s cover is classed as 28 days, so a 5 month policy runs for 140 days in total. Cover from 1 day applies to cars that are already insured with an annual policy, otherwise policies start from 1 month.
Just like any other driver, as a provisional licence holder in Great Britain you’re legally required to have insurance when you’re driving a car under supervision.
The majority of registered driving instructors have their own insurance as part of the services that they offer so you should already be covered when taking professional lessons. If you want to drive outside of your standard lessons, though, you’ll need to take out a valid policy.
There are number of situations in which you might need temporary learner driver insurance:
Choosing a learner driver policy means that you can benefit from the opportunity to gain more driving experience without the cost of extra professional lessons. You can also choose the car in which you learn, whether that’s your own or one belonging to a friend or family member.
As well as giving you the benefit of having your own insurance policy, there are also a number of advantages of taking out cover with us.

The cost of your cover will depend on various factors, just like with our one-day car insurance policies. These include where you live, the car that you’re insuring and your individual circumstances.

Learner insurance can be more expensive due to a lack of driving experience, especially when compared to the price of an instructor.
If you’re a young learner driver, you’re also more likely to be classed as a risk. According to Brake, inexperience equates to having less ability to spot hazards, plus young drivers are more likely to take risks on the roads.
Unfortunately, these factors combined means that insurance costs for these groups are often higher than for others.
While our flexible policies offer competitive prices across temporary learner insurance, choosing to drive a less expensive model of car could reduce the cost of your cover.
Vehicles are categorised into one of 50 different insurance groups, so it’s worth considering this when deciding the car in which you want to get experience driving.

Many learner drivers choose to take their driving test in their instructor’s car but, if you’d rather make use of your own vehicle or take your test in a different one, our policies can provide cover.
Once you’ve been given the good news, your learner insurance is no longer valid so you’ll need to make sure that someone else can drive you back from the test centre. You’ll also need to take out another policy that covers you as a fully qualified driver so that you can drive your chosen vehicle legally.
While you can’t add a named driver, another driver can take out their own separate temporary learner driver insurance or temporary car insurance policy with us.
It’s important to remember that whoever is supervising you must also be insured to drive the car in which you’re practising.
You’ll need to be at least 17 to take out a learner driver policy (and also to get a provisional driving licence). If you’re looking for learner driver insurance for over 40’s, we can help with that too as our policies offer insurance for learners up to the age of 50.

If you’re at fault in an accident, third-party cover will only cover injury or damage to another driver or their property, not your own.
Dayinsure’s temporary learner driver insurance policies all offer fully comprehensive cover in the UK, so you get total peace of mind while you’re practising. This means that, if you are involved in an accident and you’re held responsible, you’ll be properly covered.
One of the benefits of Dayinsure’s learner driver insurance is that, if you need to make a claim, the owner’s policy and any attached No Claims Discount won’t be affected. If you’re learning in a vehicle that’s not your own, then, the owner can rest assured that their annual policy will remain as is, even in the event of an accident.
While this is possible, depending on the insurer’s terms, if an accident were to happen and you were responsible, you could be putting their No Claims Discount at risk.
Because our temporary learner driver insurance provides a separate policy for the provisional licence holder, the owner’s own annual car insurance policy won’t be affected even in the event of an accident that’s your fault.
Learner driver insurance rules often differ slightly to other types of policies. At Dayinsure, there are a few factors of which to be aware:
