What is learner driver insurance?

Learning to drive and need to get some extra practise in? Learner driver insurance, or provisional insurance, allows you to get insured on a friend or family member’s car so you can practise outside of your lessons as and when it suits you. 

As a provisional licence holder, this allows you to gain valuable on-road experience so you can pass your test. You can buy a one-off policy or you have the flexibility of a pay-as-you-go rolling monthly subscription, so you can cancel your policy once you’ve passed 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. With our pay-as-you-go cover, their no claims bonus is protected, and you have the flexibility of getting that extra practise in when it suits you.  

Cover for your test

Our cover insures you while you’re learning and right until you’ve passed your test. Once you’ve passed, you can then opt to switch to our New Driver policy.

Important information about your cover

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.

Can I use Veygo learner driver insurance to take my driving test?

Veygo learner driver insurance does provide cover for your practical driving test. You may be asked to take a copy of your certificate of insurance with you, which is available to download as a PDF document within your Veygo account. To view this, please log in, go to ‘My account’ and select ‘Purchases’.

Should you wish to, you can also use your own vehicle to take your driving test. Please bear in mind that the car needs to meet certain legal requirements, which can be found at GOV.UK.

Important: If you pass your test, this insurance will no longer be valid, as it only covers provisional licence holders. This means you won’t be able to drive home from the test centre. But you can get a quote for our temporary cover if you continue sharing the car. Good luck!

How do I extend my policy?

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!
