Young Driver Insurance

Young driver car insurance, without the roadblocks

No tracking. Just great cover. Simple.

We want to help young drivers get on the road, and stay on the road

From taking the test to buying your first car; learning how to drive is an exciting – and challenging – process.

At AXA, we know much time and effort goes into getting on the road and we want to be there for you every step of the way. With our young driver insurance, we’re taking away some of the roadblocks so you’ve got all of the cover you need with none of the stress.

How to avoid driving test stress - 6 tips from a driving instructor

What do I do if I've been in a car accident?

Driving you forward with confidence

When it comes to young driver insurance, we’re doing things differently.

Outside the box
We’ve promised to make things easier, so we’re trading in the little black box (driver app) for complete trust and transparency: We don’t need to track your driving to give you a competitive quote.
With you from the start
We have teamed up with the Irish School of Motoring to help with the cost of driving lessons. As an AXA customer, you’ll get 12 EDT-approved lessons from our partners at the Irish School of Motoring for €445 along with a free AXA Test Drive and a Young Drivers guide.
Hassle-free
With MyAXA, you’ll be able to access your policy anywhere, anytime. Keeping on top of your payments has never been easier!

Other benefits

As a young driver, we’re there for you – just like all our customers. With young driver cover, you’ll have access to the same, great benefits as all of our policy holders:

Save with safe driving
For each year you don’t claim on your policy we’ll offer you a No Claims Discount in your renewal premium. For 5 years without a claim we’ll offer you a 75% discount.
Accident forgiveness
Accidents happen. If you have one, or if someone makes a claim against you, you won’t lose your full discount.
Travel Europe
Adventure calling? You’ll be covered to travel to Europe with your car for up to 90 days per year during your period of insurance.
Medical expenses and emergency treatments
If you or a passenger are injured while travelling in your car we’ll cover up to €200 for medical expenses per person. We’ll also cover up to €200 towards emergency treatment.
Named driver experience
Enjoy a discount on your policy if you’ve been named for at least a year on someone else’s policy and are claims-free.
Stay on the road
Cars can be unpredictable. Should you find yourself without one due to your car getting damaged as a result of an accident, we’ll give you a replacement car to tide you over until the repairs are completed. You must use an AXA-approved repairer. Comprehensive cover only.
Personal effects
We will pay you up to €750 for personal belongings in your car that were lost or damaged as a result of accidental damage, fire or theft. You’ll have €750 cover for your portable belongings if your car is stolen. Comprehensive, third-party, fire & theft only.
