Young Marmalade: Learner car insurance

Monday, 05 October 2009 12:00

A car insurance policy for learner drivers has been launched by Young Marmalade costing between £90 and £99 per month.

The Provisional Marmalade provides the chance for learners to own a policy in their own right without causing any risks to their parent's policy.

Young Marmalade, the winner of a BT Entrepreneur award in 2008, has designed the insurance with Britain's 1.1 million learner drivers in mind.

As well as the low flat fee, it allows the driver to make monthly top-ups to the policy on the internet so that it can be started or stopped at any time.

It means they can drive a family member or friend's car.

And they can drive without worrying they might risk their mum or dad's no claims bonus by being added to their insurance policy.

Crispin Moger, chief executive of Young Marmalade, said: "Thankfully for us, traditional insurance companies hate learner drivers. Either they won't deal with them or charge them an arm and a leg to scrape them off their shoe.

"Thousands of learner drivers on the roads uninsured is not particularly good in terms of road safety, but it is good for us as hundreds of Learner drives take us up on our simple, low cost Provisional Marmalade policy."
