Savings shown are against the standard £42 hourly rate. Prices include the car, fuel, insurance and full dual controls — there is no joining fee and no admin charge.
A full mock test on genuine local test routes, run and marked like the real thing, ending with a straight answer on whether you're ready to book. Worth doing before you pay for a test slot.
The hourly rate is the whole rate. There's nothing bolted on afterwards.
These are paid to the DVSA, not to us. We've listed them so you can budget for the whole journey.
| DVSA fee | Paid to | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Provisional licence | DVLA | from £34 |
| Theory test | DVSA | £23 |
| Practical test (weekday) | DVSA | £62 |
| Practical test (evening/weekend) | DVSA | £75 |
DVSA and DVLA fees are set by the government and can change — always check GOV.UK for the current figures.
The things people ask before they book.
The DVSA's own figure is around 45 hours of professional tuition plus about 22 hours of private practice — which is exactly why our biggest block is 45 hours. That said, it varies hugely. Someone with plenty of private practice may need far fewer; a complete beginner with no other driving may need more. We'll give you an honest estimate after your first couple of lessons rather than guessing up front.
No. Both are £42 an hour, and block bookings work out identically. We'd rather you chose the transmission that genuinely suits you than the one that's cheaper.
No. Your hours stay on your account until you've used them. You can take them one hour at a time, in two-hour lessons, or as a full intensive week — whatever fits around your life.
It's a £100 session run exactly like a real driving test: the same length, the same style of routes, and marked the same way. At the end you get an honest verdict on whether you're ready to book your test, and a clear list of what to fix if you're not.
Bank transfer or cash, whichever you prefer. Single lessons are paid at the lesson; block bookings are paid up front, which is what unlocks the discount.
Just give us at least 48 hours' notice and we'll move it free of charge. Cancellations inside 48 hours may be charged, because that slot usually can't be filled at short notice.
Tell us manual or automatic, roughly when you're free, and we'll get you booked in.
