Built for newly passed and younger drivers

Annual cover for younger drivers is pricey, especially in the first year. A short-term policy lets you pay only for the days you actually drive — perfect for occasional use of a parent’s or friend’s car without being added to their annual policy.

What younger drivers should know

Drivers must be aged 17 or over to take out cover. Drivers under 23 carry a higher excess, and the price reflects age and the vehicle, but you’re fully comprehensively covered and the car owner’s no-claims bonus stays untouched.

A smarter option for occasional driving

If you only need a car now and then — weekends home, a one-off trip, helping with a move — short-term cover is usually far cheaper than adding a young driver to an annual policy or buying your own.
