Pass Plus - Pay Less For Your Car Insurance

One reason new drivers take the Pass Plus course is to save money.

  • Some new drivers have saved as much as £800 on their car insurance
  • Some companies offer 1 years no claim bonus with Pass Plus

The reason behind the savings is that the Pass Plus course enhances a new driver's skills through the extra driving lessons. Insurance companies know that a more skilful driver is less likely to be involved in an accident.

1 in 5 new drivers will be involved in an accident in the first year!

The main thrust of the Pass Plus course is to give the new driver experience with situations that they won't have encountered (motorways) or have little experience of (rural driving, night driving etc.).

The Pass Plus course improves a new driver's skills making it much less likely that they will have an accident.

Did you know that in the first year of driving 1 in 5 new drivers will be involved in an accident?
