Lessons at £35 an hour, manual or automatic
Lesson costs add up, and plenty of learners are putting off getting started because of it. So we have dropped our hourly rate and cut the price of a ten-hour block.
Same instructors, same dual-control cars, same one-to-one tuition. The ten-hour price is a £40 saving against the standard £38 hourly rate.
How it works
Learning to drive with a clutch and gears
A manual car has a clutch pedal and a gear stick, and a manual licence lets you drive any car — manual or automatic. Most cars in the UK are still manual, which is why most learners start here.
Lessons begin with clutch control and finding the "biting point" — the skill almost every new learner finds strange at first, and almost everyone picks up within a lesson or two. From there, your instructor builds up gradually: moving off smoothly, changing gear without looking down, and stopping without stalling.
