The Discovery Insure Driving Academy

Creating a nation of great drivers is at the heart of Discovery Insure's core purpose, and as such, we are introducing state-of-the-art driving simulators to teach new drivers the basics of driving and to refresh the skills of experienced drivers.

Being at the forefront of innovation and technology, the Discovery Driving Academy places the driver in an artificial environment which is designed to mimic an actual driving experience. The simulator itself mimics a real car and includes an accelerator, brake, clutch, gearbox, indicators and windscreen wipers.

The Discovery Driving Academy allows drivers to have:

• Real-life driving experience in a controlled environment
• Increased confidence
• Lower new driver accident rates
• Increased learning rate

Course for first-time drivers

As a first-time driver, being behind the wheel of a motor vehicle can be intimidating as you have to be aware of the various control mechanisms, your driving behaviour, other cars and the road, traffic and environmental conditions. With the Licence Prep course, first-time drivers are able learn the basics of driving in a safe environment.

Courses available

The Discovery Driving Academy is available to all members of the public. Discovery clients get 25% off the course fees but as a Discovery Insure client, you get a 50% discount. Other courses for other levels of experience will soon be added.

The Driving Academy can be found at 1 Discovery Place, and will be available from April 2021. Bookings we will be available on the Discovery website.
