    Hi @harrisonjohn,

    As @Tiggytron mentioned above the insurance comes with the motability package and you can find out more about this by following this link
    http://www.motability.co.uk/information-for-customers/car-insurance-cover/ 

    It might be that you have a higher excess to pay if you're a new driver but I'm sure this will all be explained when you apply for a car.
    Let us know how you get on with this.

    Good luck with the driving lessons! :)
