HELP FOR LEARNERS

Halfords has taken a step towards providing young drivers with the extra practice time they need by teaming up with Provisional Marmalade – the new-driver champion – to offer a radical type of car insurance.

The new scheme allows provisional drivers to purchase fully comprehensive insurance on a family or friend’s car for only £3 per day. And Halfords believes this will go some way towards tackling the troublesome area of provisional driver insurance, as the new policy is written in the name of the learner driver and costs between £90.95 and £99.50 per month – making it affordable enough to be paid for by the learner rather than his or her parents.
