At MyFirst, we want to help reduce the cost of learner driver insurance by understanding your requirements to find you the most competitive deal. We know that the cheapest deal isn’t always the best deal, so we will work hard to determine individual requirements to help new learners and drivers as much as possible.

Learner driver insurances is an insurance product that is specifically designed to suit the requirements of young and learner drivers. In most cases, learner driver insurance will only cover you when you have a provisional driving licence. When you pass your test, then you will need to change insurance option, unless you opt for our new hybrid insurance option.
Typically, learner driver insurance will comprehensively cover learner drivers when driving someone else’s car. However, there is a range of options on the market to suit your specific needs. Usually, learner driver insurance will allow anyone to take you out for driving practice as long as they are over 25-years-old and have held a UK driving licence for more than three years.
With so many risks associated with learning to drive, it is no surprise that insurers place a premium on learner driver insurance. However, not every learner will need learner driver insurance. If you are learning only with a professional driving school or instructor, then you are likely to be covered by their insurance. It’s important to check your coverage on their insurance before you drive.
However, lessons can be very expensive and practice with friends and family in between lessons can help to speed up the process of learning to drive so you can pass your test faster. If you do choose to practice with friends and family alongside professional lessons, then you will need learner driver insurance.
Currently, the DVSA recommends that most learners will need 45 hours of professional driving tuition alongside 22 hours of private practice to be able to pass their test. However, every learner is different. The more training you have, outside of lessons, the more experience you will gain which may help you to pass your test faster. This could save you a lot of money in driving lessons.
Insurance is a legal requirement, and if you learn with family and friends, then you’ll need to make sure you have appropriate insurance in place. If you drive without insurance, then you could face a fine. Furthermore, you could also receive penalty points on your licence before you even have it. Fortunately, there are lots of options available for learners and young drivers.
At MyFirst, we offer a range of options including short-term, annual, parents’ car insurance as well as our exciting hybrid option. Our hybrid option is a new innovative insurance option that covers you while you are learning and when you pass your test, so you don’t have to pay twice for insurance.
