How the pricing works
The hourly rate drops as you commit to more hours up front. A single hour is £45; on our 20-hour package the same hour costs £37. Nothing else changes — same instructors, same cars, same lessons.
Manual and automatic lessons cost the same. There is no surcharge for evenings or weekends, and no charge for collecting you from home, work or college anywhere we cover.
If you live outside the standard area
Each area has a standard pick-up radius, and inside it there is no travel charge at all. Just outside it we can usually still teach you, with a small extended area fee added per lesson — it is shown on screen before you commit to anything and it is never taken out of prepaid hours. Put your postcode in below and it will tell you exactly which applies to you.
What is not included
Theory and practical test fees are set by the DVSA and paid directly to them. They are not part of your lesson cost. Current fees are on GOV.UK.
Cancelling or rearranging
We ask for 48 hours’ notice to move or cancel a single lesson, 5 days for a lesson inside a 10 or 20 hour package, and 2 weeks for an intensive course. Give us that much warning and there is no charge at all.
Inside the notice period the lesson is charged in full. On a discounted package it also means the discount no longer applies, so the hours you have already taken are re-charged at our standard £45 an hour. The full cancellation policy sets out how that works.
Intensive courses
Intensive courses are priced as a whole course rather than by the hour, because we clear the diary around them. They work out at £50 an hour — more than a weekly package, and that premium buys you the compressed timescale, the earliest test dates we can get, and the pass guarantee.
Intensive Courses
Want to pass fast? Our intensive courses are completed over just 7–14 days, packing your lessons into a short, focused timeframe so you can be test ready in weeks rather than months. We clear all other lessons and obligations from our diary during your course, so you get our full, undivided attention throughout.
