Cheapest way to add a Learner Driver to my car insurance

Options
I have full no claims on my car insurance and my wife is named as a second driver, she also has full no claims status.

I would like to add my 23 year old daughter who is at the moment a learner driver.

Obviously this means she cant drive without my wife or me being in the car but what I would like is some advice how to find the cheapest way of adding her to my car insurance which is due for renewal in a couple of months.

Any ideas ?

    You will probably have to speak to your insurer to get her added.


    The cheapest way to do that will be by using work's phone.

    Well.....he is councillor!! (Plenty of opportunity to make a phone call whilst at "work"!)
  • Halfords offer learner insurance that sits alongside your own policy. It was around £80 for a month for my partner, fully comp. Take a look on their website for more details.

    is Cunningham still offering, I used them when my son was learning. similar costs.


    The beauty is that you can buy a week or a month at a time so it fits in with holidays and if they do have a prang it won't affect the main policy , whereas adding to the main policy will be a 365 addition which may not be used all that often and will affect NCB if anything happens. The downside with a temporary policy is they don't build up NCB on their own.


    Your choice.
