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**.
