Why choose us?

Provisional Marmalade has been created by the team that developed the award winning Young Marmalade scheme - specialists in the young driver market.

Young Marmalade is a member of the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) and received the rare accolade of being congratulated by the House of Commons in an Early Day Motion for our work with young driver safety.

Comfort of driving with a parent

Enabling you to practice what you have learned with your driving instructor.

Your own comprehensive insurance

Provisional Marmalade provides insurance cover to allow you to drive a family or friend's car. It is a comprehensive insurance policy that covers you rather than the car owner against all of the normal third party and comprehensive risks as a result of a collision.

Protect your parent's no claim bonus

If something does happen whilst you are driving and a claim is made against you, our claims handler will deal with your claim and your parent's insurance company will not be involved. Their no-claim status is not affected.

We insure cars up to Group 16

Since we can cover all cars up to and including group 16 cars the chances of us not being able to cover your parent's car are minimal. e.g. Audi A4 2.0 or a BMW 530D.

Maximum market value of the car is £20,000

Again most family cars have a current market value under £20,000 which covers most of the vehicles on the road.

Driving Standards Agency recommends practice

The Driving Standards Agency actively supports a balance of professional tuition and a minimum 22 hours of practice with friends or family before taking the practical driving test. This could be just driving to school with Mum and Mum taking the car back or going out at the weekend with Dad.
