Temp learner cover: 5 reasons it’s the smartest choice for teens learning to drive

When your teen is learning to drive, getting behind the wheel and building confidence is crucial, but the journey can take time and become costly. That’s where temp learner cover comes in.

Whether it’s for extra practice to reinforce what’s been learnt in driving lessons or to prepare for the driving test, short-term learner insurance offers a flexible, affordable way to get road-ready.

1. 1. It’s flexible to fit around the learner’s schedule

   With The Green Insurer, you can choose learner driver cover from 7 to 90 days. You only pay for the days you need, whether that’s a short burst of practice during the school holidays or extra sessions in the run-up to a test.

2. 2. Practise in a parent’s or friend’s car without risking their no claims bonus

   Because temp learner cover is a separate insurance policy, it protects the learner driver without affecting the car owner’s no claims discount (NCD). That means peace of mind for everyone - even if something goes wrong.

3. 3. Cheaper than being added to an existing policy

   Not all insurers allow you to add a learner driver to a current annual policy. And those that do may treat it as a higher risk, which can lead to increased premiums, admin fees, and the potential loss of NCD if a claim is made.

   With temporary learner insurance, you avoid all of that, with transparent pricing and no hidden charges.

4. 4. No black box or curfews

   The Green Insurer doesn’t require a black box or impose driving curfews. Learners can practise at times that suit them, with no fines and no pressure.

5. 5. Quick to arrange, with same-day cover available

   You can be insured and ready to go in under 10 minutes. The Green Insurer is fully authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, so you can get same-day cover with confidence.
