Do Advanced Driving Courses Lower Insurance?
Some insurers may reduce premiums for advanced driving courses, but it’s not guaranteed—check with your provider
Unfortunately there's not a simple answer to this.
Whilst you'd expect insurers to reward drivers who learn advanced driving skills, it's rarely the case that any significant discount is applied.
Some insurers will insist that a driver seeks greater training in order to secure insurance, but instances of discounts being applied are rare.
We've spoken to those in the industry and it's partly due to lack of data. The insurers don't correlate data about extra training and therefore don't take it into account as part of risk profile calculations.
If you're asking the question, perhaps another way to consider it is that advanced driver training will reduce the likelihood of being in a collision and so you will ultimately save yourself money and inconvenience even without a discount.
