Safeguarding Your Training:Keeping Your Pink Badge on the Road
For a Potential Driving Instructor, your car is the key to qualifying. If your vehicle is forced off the road due to an accident, your mandatory trainee hours and sponsorship income grind to a halt. We focus on sourcing policies that prioritise your progression to full ADI status without unnecessary delays.
Dual-Control Trainee Replacements
We work with insurers who aim to supply a dual-control replacement car swiftly after a non-fault accident. This ensures you can continue logging your required teaching hours without having to postpone your Part 3 exam.
Tuition Equipment Cover
Trainees rely heavily on specific tools to build confidence and meet DVSA standards. Many of our policies offer options to cover your essential gear, from dashcams and tablets to your physical L-plates and roof signs.
Windscreen and Glass Cover
A cracked windscreen can immediately render your vehicle unsafe for official DVSA exams or sponsored training hours. Our policies include options for rapid glass repair and replacement, ensuring minor road debris doesn't cause major delays to your qualification timeline.
