Most new drivers are excited to have passed their test, whether they are a smug did-it-first-timer or had a few goes before they managed to get the test invigilator's approval.
Either way, the open road is rolled out in front of them and finally they no longer have to rely on a lift from a friend or family-member. However, some new drivers choose to get curfew insurance and are prohibited from driving during at certain hours of the night by clauses in their policy.
If they do drive during stipulated times then they are penalised for it, which doesn't seem fair to Hoot.
We believe that car insurance for new drivers should give the holder freedom, and more importantly time to further familiarise themselves with different kind of roads in all sorts of conditions, including night-time driving.
If a new driver isn't allowed to drive during hours of darkness, then how will they improve their motoring skills and become a safer driver?
Well, not to worry, Hoot don't actively restrict young drivers, we support them by offering cheap car cover and using telematics technology which helps us to offer great driving incentives. If, for instance, you only drive during daylight hours, we will give you more Bonus Miles than if you drive regularly late at night.
Hoot offers Bonus Miles not curfew insurance?
When you by a young driver's car insurance policy from Hoot you purchase 6,000 miles of cover, and only buy Top-Up Miles from us if you drive further than 6,000 miles in a year.
Our Top-Up Miles come in bundles of 250, 500 or 1000 miles and if you don't use up these miles before the end of the year, we will roll them over to the next year for you.
As well as that, we reward you for driving safely by letting you earn Bonus Miles every month for responsible motoring.
Hoot uses telematics technology which collects data on your driving habits. This lets our technical team help you to tackle any poor driving habits which use up petrol, wear out car parts or put you at risk on the road, and give you guidance on how to become a safer more responsible driver.
Every month, you could earn up to 100 Bonus Miles of cover for driving safely.
It gets even better! Hoot has teamed together with some top high-street retailers. If you shop online with these retailers, for every £100 you spend with them, we give you Reward Miles to spend on yourself.
