Learner driver insurance is temporary car insurance for learner drivers, irrespective of whether you are learning with RED, which allows you to get some practice sessions in your own car, or in a friend’s or relative’s car. It covers you as a provisional driving licence holder to drive in the short term whilst being properly supervised.
The DVSA states that, on average, it takes 45 hours of professional instruction and 22 hours of private practice to learn to drive. RED’s Learner insurance is a great way to gain those extra recommended hours.
* At the current time we can unfortunately only quote for Learner Drivers who are aged 17-35
Whether you are starting out fresh or picking up lessons after taking a break, we can support you with your lessons.

The average person requires around 45 hours of tuition and a further 22 hours of practise before they are test-ready (according to the DVSA). However, every person is different and some may need fewer hours, while others may require more.
We strive to ensure that every person who learns to drive with RED, does so in the most comfortable environment possible. If you need to change your instructor – for example, you are moving to a new location – please let us know and we can organise a replacement.
We offer a no quibble refund policy, so you’re always safe in the knowledge that if you have to stop your lessons for any reason, your money is not lost.
Our booking system is safe and secure and our no quibble refund policy means that you'll never be left out of pocket.

Benefits
I’ve been a driving instructor for over 20 years. I started out as a new driver instructor and now also train people to become driving instructors, so I’ve seen it all!
The test and driving regulations has changed over the years and at RED we really focus on ensuring that our learners are 100% confident and competent with independent driving.
As a parent myself I understand that patience is key through the instruction process, everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. It’s all about encouraging progression in a way that benefits the student and manages expectations. There’s nothing like the feeling when a student passes or achieves their goals – it’s a process you go through together.
I’ve taught thousands of people over the years and whether your aim is passing your driving test or refreshing certain skills, I’d say go for it! The freedom and confidence that safe driving gives you is simply incredible.
I absolutely love the job, the best thing about it is the reward you receive from seeing people progress with their driving and watching their confidence grow. It’s also really fun and I really enjoy meeting and getting to know different people each day
