Can you take your driving test in your own car?

Yes, as long as the car you are insured to drive it and you have the car owner's permission. Our learner driver insurance covers you during your driving test. Just remember that as soon as you pass your driving test, your insurance will end.

You may have a choice of which car to take your test in; one belonging to a parent or someone else or your driving instructor's car. If you do, think about which one you feel most familiar, comfortable and confident in. All these little things help toward getting through your driving test.

Just remember, your learner driver insurance will end as soon as you pass your test, so make sure someone comes with you to drive home. Even if they have added you to their own insurance to cover you afterwards, it's probably best not to drive when you're feeling elated and distracted after passing your test as you may find it hard to concentrate.
