Driving Instructor Insurance Companies

Every UK broker we could verify that actually sells ADI and PDI insurance today. Phone numbers are tap-to-call and were checked against each provider's own website in July 2026.

Tip: get at least three quotes and compare the whole package, not just price: the excess, negligent tuition cover, and whether a dual-control replacement car is guaranteed. We have no commercial relationship with any broker listed. Brokers that no longer trade under their old name, no longer serve instructors, or could not be verified have been removed from this directory.

Learner insurance referral programmes (extra income)

Two well-known names often mistaken for instructor insurers actually sell learner driver insurance, and both pay instructors to refer pupils for private practice cover. Collingwood pays £50 for a first referral and up to £20 for each one after; Marmalade runs a similar instructor network across its young-driver products. Useful pocket money, but neither insures you as an instructor.
