Using our site
This website is operated by Autedia Limited (registered in England, company number 06074684), trading as Young Car Driver. By using this site, you’re agreeing to these terms, so please read them carefully, along with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
We may update these terms from time to time, especially if the way the site works changes or if the law requires it. When that happens, we’ll update the date at the top of the page, and we’ll usually flag any big changes so they’re easy to spot.
You’re welcome to use the site for your own research — whether that’s learning to drive, choosing your first car, sorting insurance or finance, or finding safer ways to run a car. But all our content is protected by copyright. That means you can’t copy or republish it without our permission — even if you’re using it as part of a business, blog, or platform.
If you’re unsure or want to ask permission to reuse something, just email us at team@youngcardriver.com.
How to use our content
Everything on this site is designed to give you clear, reliable starting points — especially when you’re learning to drive, sorting your first insurance, or exploring car finance. But because everyone’s situation is different, some decisions will need a bit more detail. That’s where the experts come in — like a driving instructor, an insurance provider, or a car finance advisor who’ll go through your options one-on-one.
About the information on this site
The information and guides on Young Car Driver are designed to be informative and devoted to helping young drivers, especially around learning to drive, choosing your first car, and understanding insurance or finance.
We follow clear editorial guidelines to keep our content accurate, current and easy to understand. But we’re only human, and sometimes things change faster than we can update them.
Our service is designed for all young drivers across the UK, so while it’s a constructive starting point, it’s not tailored to individual circumstances. It doesn’t replace personalised advice, like speaking to a qualified expert who can look at your specific circumstances.
We review and update our pages regularly, even if not every one shows a visible date stamp.
How we make money
We only partner with companies we trust, and if you click on a link and apply for something like car finance, insurance or driving lessons, we may earn a commission. This is paid by the provider and comes from their marketing budget; it doesn’t affect the price you pay, and you won’t be charged more for using our site. It also never affects what we write. Our content is based on what’s most useful for young drivers, not who pays us.
Our content and copyright
Everything you see on this site, including the words, illustrations, brand style, and our cartoon driver characters, is protected by copyright. It’s all created or licensed by us (Autedia Ltd), and we’re proud of the work we put into it.
You’re welcome to link to our content or quote small sections, especially if you’re helping others learn. But copying whole articles, scraping data, or reusing our guides, visuals or characters without permission isn’t allowed.
Our logos, designs and characters are part of what makes Young Car Driver unique, please don’t use or adapt them without asking. This includes using our content or style for any commercial purpose without our permission.
If you’re unsure whether something’s okay to use, email us at team@youngcardriver.com and we’ll be happy to help.
Access and site security
We do our best to keep Young Car Driver online, secure and up to date — but like any website, it may sometimes be unavailable due to updates, tech issues, or maintenance.
You’re welcome to browse and use the site freely, but please don’t try to misuse it — like introducing viruses, scraping content, or trying to access parts you’re not supposed to. That’s not just against our rules, it’s also against the law.
We’ve built the site to be safe, but we can’t guarantee it’ll be completely bug-free or always compatible with every browser or device.
Young Car Driver is designed for a UK audience — mostly aged 17–25 — but anyone can use it as long as they follow these terms.
Limiting our liability
We fact-check our content and do everything we can to keep it accurate, up to date and genuinely helpful. But no resource is perfect, and even well-checked info might not be quite right for your situation. The advice that really matters often comes later, from a finance advisor, insurer, or driving instructor who can drill down into the details with you. So while we’re here to help you get started, any decisions you make after using the site are your responsibility.
We’re not liable for any loss, cost or damage that comes from using the site or relying on its content, or from anything that happens on third-party sites we link to. That includes commercial partners (like CarFinance 247 or Quotezone) and external sources we link to for guidance (like GOV.UK or the AA). We’re very deliberate with the sources we choose to link to, whether that’s for a quote or for trustworthy advice. We only link to organisations we believe are leaders in the topics we cover. But because we don’t control those websites, we can’t guarantee their accuracy, security or content.
If there’s ever a legal dispute
We hope it never comes to this, but just in case, these terms (and your use of the site) are governed by English law. If anything serious ever needs resolving, it would be handled in the courts of England and Wales.
Accessibility matters
We want everyone to be able to use our site, whatever your device, tech, or access needs. We aim to follow good accessibility practices, like using readable fonts, clear structure, and alt text for images. If something isn’t working for you or you’re having trouble accessing a part of the site, please let us know so we can fix it. You can reach us at team@youngcardriver.com.
