Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The deal

A "bolt-on" pay-as-you-go insurance policy designed for young learner drivers keen to practise between lessons. The deal, which is added to an existing qualified driver's policy, is borne out of a commercial partnership between the RED Driving School and insurance provider Provisional Marmalade.

The pros

The savings could be huge. Adding a 17-year-old learning to drive a Nissan Micra in Kingston-upon-Thames could push a full policy up to around £7,391 or £615.90 a month, compared with adding £85.50 for this deal. And if there is an incident, the parent policy won't be affected.

The cons

You won't save up any no claims and you'll have to renew every couple of months.

Conclusion

A compelling and potentially far cheaper solution for learners.
