Rates are based on quality instruction at a reasonable price.
"Pay peanuts and you get monkeys!"
You may find cheaper rates, but need to consider:
- what you get for your money
- your instructor's qualifications
- how well you are taught
- how long it takes to get to a good standard
- whether you are paying for a nation-wide back-up service and franchise - being independent, I don't have to include these costs in my fees, so can afford to keep them competitive
My rates include free guidance and advice on the Theory and Hazard Perception test, instruction by an advanced motorist, and free handouts from Smart Driving for revision after each aspect has been taught.
· Hourly rates: £23 per hour, ideally 2 hours at a time
· Beginners: Introductory offer of £35 for 5 hours. The first 2 individual hours cover the controls and how they work, and moving off, steering and stopping. The other 3 hours, on satisfactory completion of your driving course with me, provide final preparation an hour before the practical driving test, the use of the car for the test, and finish with a demonstration drive on a motorway after passing.
· Block booking discounts: Save 5% off the hourly rate if you book and pay for 6 lessons in advance, or 10% for 12 prepaid lessons.
· Free lessons: Introduce a friend or relative that pays for a minimum of 6 lessons @ £23 (or the discounted rate) and earn a free lesson. If you have already passed your test, get £23 off Pass Plus, or a cheque for £23 in lieu.
· Pass Plus: Take the DSA’s recommended Pass Plus course after passing your driving test for only £120 for 6 hours of practical instruction on rural and urban roads, dual carriageways and motorways, night and all-weather driving*, usually 2 x 3-hour sessions. Evaluation takes place during the course, and you do not have a final test. The certificate issued by the Pass Plus section of the Driving Standards Agency could save you £s on car insurance. This can also include instruction for the prestigious Institute of Advanced Motorists test.
*Although we always fit in a night-time session, we cannot always arrange for rain or snow, so these are thoroughly covered in a theory lesson when necessary.
