Is £25 an hour a rip off for a driving lesson?

I know some schools are cheaper but is the tuition as good with private schools.

as a driving instructor £25 per hour in my area would be a bit steep.we charge £19. its not so much the price but wether you get on with the instructor and do you actually learn anything,a good relationship is essential.You also need to know if they are a trainee instructor or a fully qualified one,the difference is the colur of the badge traine is pink qualified is green.Best way to find one is askaround your mates,or book an assesment lesson with a school never comit to a course of lessons without first meeting and going on a lesson.hope this helps

it is a fair price, there is a limit how many hours an instructor can work, so you won't get lessons for silly prices like £10 an hour.

they have to make after living a fuel, car and other costs. Some drivers work for big companies who take a commission etc...

Independant represent better value and its the driver who gets the money.

the rate around derby is around £20 an hour but it all depends really some are £25 some are £18 it all depends where you go

yes it absolutely is because you can get lessons with Bill Plant for the first lesson free and then 5 lessons for £56 and each lesson is an hour

£25 is about as much as it gets in the UK

In the south east it seems to range from £18 to about £22 but that normally includes car share to pick up the next pupil. If your price is exclusive one on one then it's not too bad

The level of tuition is important and recommendation normally works the best

I pay £45 for two hours a week with BSM - your rate would make £50, so about the going rate. I find it easier learning with a big school because it is easier to get information.

8 Years ago I was paying £14 an hour. But I would get other quotes from others.

I used to pay £57 for a 3 hour lesson and I live just outside London.

I passed 1st time in December so it wasn't that long ago
I love driving and it was well worth the money

In London maybe no, but any one with any sense would not learn to drive in London, however I paid GBP 18.00 per lesson last year outside of London and I passed first time.

Most important factor is your tutor, pass rates, flexbility etc etc.
Recommended contacts are always a good point to start.

Good luck with your lessons.


champagne
Thats about right.I paid £23 four years ago.

Usually it's about 20 but 25 isn't too bad...

Safe driving.

How much would you want to be paid, for riding around in a car with an inexperienced driver?

i have been to a school were the price is a lot cheaper but the service was rubbish, so i left and am now learning for 24quid, the quality of instructors is so much better,

its true what they say you get what you pay for


brian m
its a little stiff but u can shop around and maybe get for 20.

My god.... i passed in 1998 when i was 17 and paid £11 for lessons! dont go with BSM.... one of the dearest driving schools out there

It certainly sounds like one to me. Funnily enough I saw an advert on the back of a Driving School car today, offering learners the first 5 lessons for £60. Bargain!


leedsmikey
My daughter is paying £18.50/hour.
We rang round and they are all similar in this area.
