Compare Our Prices
Compared with hourly lessons
Some people have said they feel our courses are expensive but if you look at the examples below we hope you will agree we are actually great value for what is QUALITY tuition and service.
Compared with hourly lessons
Lets look at our longest course and compare it with hourly lessons.
Quality hourly lessons usually cost between £25 and £35 and a 40 hour intensive is equivalent to 45 to 50 hourly lessons in achievement if not more!
So 45 times £25 works out to be £1125, then add the cost of your practical test which is £62 and we have a total of £1187.
That means that just taking the lowest price into consideration we are over £150 cheaper at £969 without accommodation and just a mere £82 dearer if we include our great accommodation!
Compared with other companies
It usually pays to shop around but do check on what is included in the price as some other companies do not include the test fee, accommodation or one-to-one tuition, most even charge extra to pay by credit card.
Be warned, we have heard so many complaints about some of the other companies not even booking tests for you then telling you on the last day you are not up to test standard so will not allow you to take the test
Remember too it is not just about cost but the quality of tuition, all our instructors are fully qualified experienced instructors who have been working in this area for several years.
In business you should not knock the opposition but here are the examples of the top 5 companies (we are one of them) of a search I have carried out;
www.intensives.co.uk Here the prices do not include accommodation and they will be dearer once added.
www.one2onedrivingschool.com 15 hour course is over £180 dearer and the 40 hour a whopping £686 dearer!
www.okdrivingschool.co.uk 20 hour course is £53 more expensive and the 40 hour £193 dearer!
www.johnfoote.co.uk 15 hour is over £80 more expensive and the 40 hour is over £240 dearer!
www.thelfactor.co.uk Shared tuition so you will be 'driving' for just 3.5 hours per day and no weekend driving. Do you want to spend 3.5 hours sitting in the back of the car doing nothing!
www.ayrschoolofmotoring.co.uk Driving test fee is extra so a 36 hour course will in fact work out £115 dearer than our 35 hour course!
Warning
We have heard so many complaints about some of the other companies telling you on the last day you are not up to test standard so will not allow you to take the test. It turn out that they never actually booked a test and then they make sure you will not be ready! As a result they pocket the £62 test fee!
How can you avoid this? Simple, we give you all the details at the time of booking so you can check on the Driving Standards Agency website that the test is booked before you pay us any money. If you decide to book with another company then make sure you can check this before paying them a deposit!
