What is driving instructor insurance?
Driving instructor insurance is a specialist type of cover that’s vital for ADIs and PDIs. This is because regular car insurance doesn’t provide the correct level of protection you need when you’re teaching inexperienced drivers on the road and you depend on your vehicle for your business.
Taking out a specialist car insurance policy for driving instructors helps ensure that you have the right cover in place to protect both yourself and your business.
At Adrian Flux, our close relationships with driving instructors has allowed us to truly understand your needs and its complexities. Our insurance covers both the instructor as well as any learners when they’re behind the wheel. We also supply and deliver a temporary dual-control courtesy car following accidents where you aren’t at fault so you can continue working.
Plus, we offer hire and reward public liability insurance for ADIs and PDIs to help protect your business when your vehicle is stationary.

Public liability insurance for driving instructors
Whilst your regular driving instructor insurance policy will protect you when you’re driving or overseeing your pupils, it won’t help against damage or injury to others while your vehicle is not in use. This is where public liability insurance comes in.
At Adrian Flux, we offer hire and reward public liability insurance for driving instructors, which helps protect you and your business in the event someone tries to sue you for property damage, injury or illness. This can be added to your policy for just £19.99, which will protect up to £2 million in liability fees, or £27.50 for £5 million in liability fees.
Why do I need public liability insurance as a driving instructor?
There are a number of scenarios where public liability cover would be important. Common examples include:
- You are out of the car doing ‘show me, tell me’ questions and your student sustains an injury by tripping on a high curbside
- You put cones down to practice and a member of the public falls over one and sustains an injury
- You are picking up a student from their home and while on their property you damage something
