Lessons & prices
Clear prices. No joining fee.
Every price includes pick-up and drop-off, a dual-control car and a short note after each lesson. Automatic lessons cost a little more because the cars do.
Manual or automatic?
Manual
Lets you drive both kinds of car. Takes most people a few more hours to learn.
Automatic
No clutch or gears to think about. Your licence will only cover automatics.
Not sure? Most of our learners book one of each before deciding.
Weekly lessons
One or two hours a week, usually at the same time each week. The steady way to learn, and the easiest on your budget.
Starter lessons
Two one-hour lessons to get you moving. We start on quiet estate roads, and you'll be steering and stopping in the first ten minutes.
