Insuring a learner driver

There are some limits on what car you can insure, and who can get insured

Insuring a learner driver

You can get temporary learner driver insurance with Cuvva, making it quick and easy to get practice in.

The easiest way to check if you’re eligible is to get a quote in the app.

Here’s what you need to know 👇


Car requirements

We can cover a wide range of cars for learner drivers.

Your car will need to be:

  • Up to 20 years old

  • Worth £30,000 or less

  • In insurance group 27 or below

Most standard modifications are fine, especially anything that helps with accessibility.

Just so you know, you can only drive a car with a provisional licence - not a van, campervan, or motorhome.


Driver requirements

To get learner driver insurance, you’ll need to:

  • Be aged 17 to 50

  • Have held your provisional licence for less than 15 years

  • Hold a GB provisional licence (England, Scotland, or Wales)


Supervision rules

You’ll need to drive with a supervisor who:

  • Is aged 25 or over

  • Has at least 5 years of driving experience


Policy limits

Learner drivers can:

  • Get cover for 1 to 3 hours per day

  • Extend their policy, as long as they stay within this 24-hour limit


A quick note on eligibility

We work with our underwriters to cover as many learners as possible.

The app checks lots of factors to decide if we can offer a quote. This means eligibility can sometimes change, even if you’ve been covered before.

If you don’t get a quote this time, it’s always worth trying again later or with a different car.


If you have any questions, just search the help centre for a quick answer or reach out to our customer support team. Happy driving!
