Does learner driver insurance affect the car owner's no-claims discount?
No, our Learner Driver Insurance operates as a standalone policy that doesn't impact the car owner's existing insurance or no-claims discount.
Can I drive immediately after purchasing a policy?
Yes, you can drive instantly after purchasing our Learner Driver Insurance or Named Young Driver Insurance, provided you meet all policy requirements.
How does the black box technology work?
Our telematics system uses a smartphone app and windscreen tag to monitor driving metrics like acceleration, braking, and phone usage, providing real-time feedback through a traffic-light scoring system.
What happens if I pass my test during the policy period?
Our Named Young Driver Insurance and Black Box Insurance policies automatically continue coverage after passing your test with no price increase.
Are there any driving curfews or restrictions?
No, our Named Young Driver Insurance and Black Box Insurance policies have no night-time driving restrictions, provided you drive safely.

Have tried to renew sons policy since last week using website as advised however neither of our emails showing as valid even although I have been getting emails to renew. Called them today to renew policy but as it had lapsed more than 24hrs they are unable to do anything even after speaking to someone earlier who assured me this would be okay. They advised to start a new policy which has just about doubled the renewal price. Shocking service

Marmalade can be closely compared to a good night out on cheap drinks , Everything goes swimmingly from the start , incredibly cheap insurance , easy sign up process and co-operative staff . I got my insurance as a learner and have used marmalade for my first year as a full driver and am renewing this year also. The black box powers itself and as about the size of an AirPods case , it sticks behind your mirror and makes no fuss. The hangover of marmalade is that the black box tracks everything (speed , accelerating, braking , phone use and cornering) for this reason they have lost a star , although

Marmalades named driver insurance is brilliant for learners, I was able to get a test for a few months but wanted to keep driving and didn't want to keep paying for lessons every week so I got my own insurance on my parents car with marmalades named driver insurance, and I can chose how long I want to be insured for. Honestly if you're wanting young driver insurance go with marmalade.
