One day car insurance on provisional licence

I'm just wondering whether I can get insured for 1 day with a provisional driver's licence?

Shannon,

Insurance cover for 1 day is not available when you hold just a provisional licence. Most insurers will provide temp insurance cover for over 21s and only if you have a full licence. If I'm not mistaken, you must be looking to take your private car for your driving test - hence you're looking for just one day insurance. If that's the case, then it is better if you take a couple of lessons with a driving instructor so that he'll let you use his car for the practical test.

Otherwise let me know why you need insurance for just a day so that I can suggest something more appropriate.

I would like to buy my own car but I know I won't always have somebody around over 21 with a 3 year license to accompany me. I need 1 day insurance for the odd occasion when someone can accompany me when driving. Thanks

Natasha,

With a provisional licence, you always need to have someone over 21 with at least 3 years full driving licence to accompany you. The person who is supervising you does not need to be insured on your car because he/she is not driving, but you are! Therefore you need to have adequate insurance cover in place for yourself if you are practicing in your own car.

Not to my knowledge. I think you probably struggled with that one. Out of interest, if ever you read this page again OP, did you find a company that does it? I have a website and would like to know so that i can put it on there. Cheers.
