Learner driver insurance is an easy way to get extra practice in your own car, or a friend or family member’s car.
Be on the road in minutes
1 hour to 180 days
No impact on the owners no claim bonus!
Learner driver insurance, or provisional driver insurance, lets you get insured on a friend or family member’s car to practise outside of lessons. As a provisional licence holder, this allows you to gain valuable on-road experience so you can pass your test!
Getting added to a friend or family member’s insurance policy as a learner driver can be costly and could affect their no claims bonus if you have a bump – our cheap, flexible cover protects you from that and keeps prices down with either learner insurance on your own car or borrowing a car.
With our temporary learner insurance, you can choose to be covered from 1 hour, a day, a week, or a month.
Looking for cover for your driving test? No problem! We could cover you up until you pass your test.*
Practice in your own time that's convenient for you, be on the road in minutes with our flexible cover.
*Once you’ve passed you’ll no longer be a learner driver, so you’ll need alternative temporary cover for the drive home.
Most of our customers pay just £7.68 for 3 hours or £57.21 for 4 weeks. Our flexible cover makes it as affordable as possible to get insurance for provisional drivers.
Of course, your learner insurance quote can be influenced by a number of factors. This includes your age, where you live and your occupation.
The type of car you’ll be driving also affects the price of your cover. If your car is safe, has a small engine and is in a lower insurance group, then you may be able to get cheaper learner driver insurance. You can find out more about which cars are cheaper to insure here.

To apply for provisional insurance, there are a few boxes for you and your car to check.
You must be between 17 and 75 years old.
You should have a valid UK provisional licence.
Not have any penalty points. Also, you must not have been disqualified in the last 18 months.
Not have any claims or motoring convictions. This may affect your ability to get learner car insurance.
Also, you need to get the car owner’s permission to get insured on it.
It has to be less than 40 years old.
The car must be registered in the UK.
It’s possible to get cover for a lease car, but not a hire or rental vehicle.
You can get learner driver insurance on your car or someone else’s. If you’re not the legal car owner then learner driver cover sits alongside the owner’s insurance and cannot be the main policy. It’s possible to get cover for a lease car, but not a hire or rental vehicle.
We cover up to £300 to have your locks changed in the event of your keys being lost or stolen. However, we don't cover the cost of the keys!
In the circumstance of keys left unattended in the ignition, or the car was left unattended, the claim will require further investigation by our customer care team.
Our comprehensive learner driver insurance works alongside the main policy already in place on your car. It protects the provisional licence holder while also helping to preserve your No Claims Bonus – if they were to make a claim your No Claims Bonus would remain intact. In the event of total loss, the car will be covered up to the current market value.
Adding a provisional licence holder to your policy can incur an admin fee and cause your premium to increase. Veygo’s Learner Driver Insurance means that there are no admin fees to add a driver and the learner driver can pay for the insurance themselves!
Learner Driver Insurance is available from two hours right up to 90 days, just so long as you have your own policy in place on the car at all times. The cover will end once the provisional licence holder passes their practical driving test, becoming a full licence holder.

Our temporary insurance options can cover you from 1 hour
to 60 days.
Unfortunately, another driver or car can’t be added to your existing insurance policy, but you can buy a separate insurance policy for the other driver or car you wish to insure. When purchasing for another driver, they’ll need to continue as a new customer and create their own account with an alternative email address. Easy!
We’re really sorry, but we can’t provide cover if you don’t hold a GB licence (excluding Northern Ireland) or if your vehicle does not have a GB registration. Sorry we can’t help you further and I hope you find a suitable alternative.
We don’t currently offer insurance policy extensions, but you can take out more insurance online in next to no time. We save your details to make getting a quote even easier the second time around. Just log in, and you’re ready to roll! If you'd like to repurchase on the go, try downloading our app where you can repurchase your previous cover in just 5 taps!
Unfortunately, our insurance policies don't allow you to build your No Claims Bonus. However, our policies provide you with your own separate insurance for the car that you will be driving. This means that if you're borrowing someone else's car and have to make a claim, it won’t affect the car owner’s no-claims bonus. This also means they don’t need to declare it when renewing their insurance.
Our insurance policies only provide cover for driving for social, domestic and pleasure uses, as well as driving to and from one place of work. We do not cover business-related purposes which can include using your car to pick up or deliver business supplies or driving to visit clients.
The accidental damage excess on most temporary car insurance is set at £750. Some customers can choose a lower excess of £250 or £100, depending on the product and you and/or your car’s details. The excess for a windscreen claim can be found in your insurance policy schedule, within your account.
Actually, yes – you can. You can tax your vehicle with a temporary policy at the DVLA website. Or, if you want to go old-school, you can take your temporary insurance docs to the post office.
