At Safely Insured, we have set up a number of specialist schemes with insurers to provide young drivers with a great First Car Insurance policy.
Whether you want to insure your car whilst you learn, or are looking for insurance once you’ve passed your test, we can help.
The schemes available are for:
Some people buy their first car before they pass their driving test. In fact, a lot of people are opting to do this as opposed to wait until after they have passed. This also means they can practice outside of their driving lessons, to have more of a chance of passing first time.
That is where learner driver insurance comes into the equation. You have a number of options to choose from when it comes to selecting the insurance policy you require:
We can offer Annual Learner Driver cover with the following benefits:
This policy is also an add-on policy. The car must already be insured. You can have cover from 28 days up to 140 days. This policy is available for ages 17-40.

Once you have passed your driving test you will need to inform us of this immediately. If you have a policy that converts to a full licence holder policy, then we will do this for you (however you will still need to notify us of passing your driving test). If you do not have a policy that converts over, we will be able to set-up a new policy, with you as a full licence holder.

Black Box Car Insurance involves a little ‘black box’ being fitted to your car, more often than not, it will be placed underneath your dashboard. This then measures and records your data to pass on to the insurer. You can logi-in online anytime and view your own Personal Online Dashboard. The information used will not be given to any third party. This type of insurance enables you to get on the road and start proving you are a good driver. The more you prove you are a capable driver, the less of a 'risk' insurers will see you as.

When looking for a first car, it’s always good to research various cars first. This is so you can obtain different feedback on different cars and work out which are cheaper to insure than others.
Through our own research, we have decided what we think are the most popular cars for first cars. Here are the results for the top First Car Options:
Generally, hatchbacks are great for first cars. They are less of a risk to insurers and providing they are not sport editions such as the Vauxhall Corsa VXR, most insurers will be happy to provide cover.
The Insurance Group rating is also lower on these types of cars, which takes into account all sorts of factors such as; repair costs, repair times, engine size and so on. The lower the insurance group generally means the lower the cost of insurance.
We provide more information in our blog post: 'Recommended Cars for New Drivers'. Read an extract here:
"The popular cars of choice for new drivers are hatchbacks. This is because a lot of models within the hatchback ‘category’ are much cheaper to insure than say, a saloon or SUV. It’s always important to check out the technical specification of the car you’re looking to buy in addition to its insurance group rating."

Generally, 1.0 - 1.4 litre cars are great for your first car. They contain less power than a sports car and are cheaper to insure.
Each car will be classified with a number between 1-50 which will reflect their 'Insurance Group Rating'. The higher the number, the higher the cost of insurance. The rating is based on a number of factors such as repair costs, repair times and parts costs. For your first car, it would be beneficial to choose a car with a low insurance group rating.
If you already have your first car but you have not passed your driving test yet, taking out short-term insurance will enable you to be able to practice out on the road, before actually taking your test.
It will vary from insurer to insurer ,however, with some of the schemes we offer, your NCB can start to build up from the date you take the policy out, regardless as to whether or not you are a full licence holder or a provisional licence holder. Speak to our Frist Car Insurance specialists and they will be able to advise you of the option's available.
