£600 - £1200 insurance for the 1st year as a learner. As soon as you pass the test that policy may expire. Then quotes maybe DOUBLE or TREBLE that.

Pays for a lot of lessons at £20 a time.

Issue is you take your test, Will you do that in your own car? How will you get home? If you pass your insurance may now be void.

Cars no longer insured so other drivers probably wont be covered either.

When i looked at the cheap learner policies it only allowed the learner driver and could not add named drivers.

even then when you pass your still a provisional license holder untill you swap you license with the certificate to the dvla.

For the first couple of years it will be cheaper to be a named driver and drive no more than 49% of the time.

What?

You call your insurers as soon as reasonably practicable if you pass - end of. Your premium may go up at renewal but your car suddenly won't be uninsured the second you pass your test.

I would get a Yaris 1000cc - group 2/3 insurance and they are quite reliable, small and easy to drive. Taking your test in your own car would make you more relaxed for sure.

Not always it seems, I found learner policies for my daughter than will only allow her name on the insurance and as soon as she passes her test the policy is cancelled. They wont allow my name on it so i would have to drive it with 3rd party cover on my insurance.
They dont cover full licence holders on the policy at all.

I found them from posts on here.

Unless my covers says i cannot drive other cars in the household?
