Every lesson is manual, one-to-one, in a fully insured dual-controlled car with a DVSA-approved instructor. Pick the pattern that fits your life.
A manual licence lets you drive both manual and automatic cars. You stay in control of the gears, get better fuel economy, and usually pay less for insurance and vehicle repairs. It is the licence most employers and driving schools expect.
Automatic lessons skip the clutch and gears, so some learners feel they progress faster early on. However, an automatic licence restricts you to automatic cars only, and you may pay more for vehicles and insurance in the long run.
Pick your town for local pickup points, the test centre you’ll use and the roads we cover on your lessons.
