How does provisional insurance work?
Compared to being added as a named driver on someone else’s policy, learner insurance can often work out cheaper. It also protects the car owner’s No Claims Discount, which could otherwise be affected if an accident happens while you’re learning. If you insure your own car as a learner, you can even start building your own No Claims Discount helping you save on future premiums once you’ve passed your test.

Who can supervise a learner driver?
It doesn’t have to be the car owner who supervises you, but whoever does must meet a few key requirements:
They must be at least 21 years old
They must be qualified to drive the same type of car you’re learning in (for example, they need a manual licence if you’re driving a manual)
They must have held a full UK or EU driving licence for at least three years
No black box required – just your smartphone
There’s no black box to fit and no need to visit a garage. Sense runs through your smartphone, using its sensors to understand your driving behaviour.
You’ll also get insights and tips to help you build safer habits, helping you become a better driver.

What are the benefits of learner driver insurance?
Build confidence faster
Get used to your own car’s controls, mirrors, and handling. Familiarity helps you feel calmer behind the wheel and more in control, making your lessons (and test day) a lot less stressful.Save money while you learn
Practise as often as you like without paying for extra instructor time. With flexible learner driver insurance, you can top up your hours at your own pace and budget.Practise real-world routes
Drive on the roads you’ll actually use, from your commute to your local test centre. Learning in your own car helps you get comfortable with real-life routes and everyday driving situations.Fast-track your No Claims Discount
Start building your No Claims Discount before you’ve even passed your test. With learner driver insurance, every claim-free day counts, helping you save money when you switch to a full licence policy later on.Protect your car and your confidence
A dedicated learner insurance or provisional insurance policy keeps both you and the car owner’s insurance safe. Unlike being added as a named driver, your learner driver insurance policy runs independently, so any accidents won’t affect the car owner’s No Claims Bonus.Learn in your own car
With learner driver insurance, you can learn to drive in your own car rather than just your instructor’s. This helps you build familiarity with your own controls, mirrors, and handling, making you more confident and comfortable when it’s time to pass your test. Plus, having your own insurance policy for learner drivers means you’re covered for private practice alongside professional lessons.
