Why complete Pass Plus?

Reduce your insurance

Many insurers offer discounts to newly qualified drivers who hold a Pass Plus certificate — potentially saving you hundreds of pounds.

Nationally recognised

Pass Plus is a DVSA-endorsed scheme — a nationally accepted qualification that demonstrates a higher standard of driving.

Real-world confidence

Go beyond your test standard — gain experience on motorways, country roads, and in all weather conditions.

Motorway driving included

Most new drivers have never driven on a motorway. Pass Plus includes motorway training with an approved RED instructor.

Expert RED instructors

Delivered by the same DVSA-approved RED instructors who helped you pass — you're in trusted hands.

Local authority support

Some local authorities contribute up to 50% of your Pass Plus costs. Check GOV.UK for the current list of participating councils.

Pass Plus — frequently asked questions

When should I do my Pass Plus course?
You can book Pass Plus as soon as you've passed your practical test. Speak to your RED instructor about scheduling it — the sooner you complete it, the sooner you may benefit from reduced insurance.
How much will it reduce my insurance?
The discount varies between insurers and your personal profile, but some new drivers save a significant amount. It's worth getting quotes from insurers that recognise Pass Plus before and after the course.
Can local authorities fund Pass Plus?
Yes — some local councils in England contribute up to 50% of the Pass Plus course cost for newly qualified drivers in their area. Check the GOV.UK Pass Plus page for the latest participating councils.
Is there a test at the end of Pass Plus?
No — Pass Plus is assessed by your instructor throughout the course rather than a standalone exam. If you meet the required standard across all 6 modules, you receive your DVSA-issued Pass Plus certificate.
Can I do Pass Plus in an automatic car?
Yes, Pass Plus is available in both manual and automatic vehicles. You simply complete the course in the same car type you passed your test in.
