Thanks for the replies. I've actually got 2 daughters at university both under 22. The extra for the year for both of them is just under £400 which isn't too bad. They both passed when they were 17 although we forced them to take lessons and they weren't really keen. It does seem possible to insure them by the hour, day, week etc but I can't imagine we would do it. We would just drive them as it would be cheaper. I wanted to keep them driving until they got their own car but now I am not sure they will. They seem to look on owning a car as a bit old fashioned. Far easier and cheaper just to get an Uber. Decisions. Decisions.

When you were that age, taxis were an option for the well off.
In many terms the peoples want you to own a car with the expense but not drive it.
For a good many actually not owning a car and using taxis etc may well work out cheaper and more convenient.
