Hastings Direct learner driver insurance
One of the few that will both sell a learner their own policy and add a learner to an existing customer's policy, so it is a useful place to see the two routes side by side.

Who it suits, from what they publish
On its own published terms this is worth a look if:
- you are learning in a car you own yourself
Things that are easy to miss
- Two routes are offered: a policy in the learner's own name, or being added as a named driver to an existing Hastings policy. They are not the same product and only the first keeps the owner's no-claims out of it.
How it compares
The same columns for every provider, so you can see where Hastings Direct sits rather than take our word for it.
