Cancellations

If you or your driving instructor wishes to cancel a lesson a notice period of 48 hours is required. It must be appreciated that last minute cancellations means a driving instructor will not earn a wage for that hour therefore if you do not meet the 48 hour notice period the driving lessons will still be charged for. Unfortunately from time to time driving instructors may have to cancel driving lessons at late notice, if this happens the driving instructor will re-arrange the driving lesson at the most convenient time for you.

Driving lessons can be paid for on the day of the driving lesson. Driving instructors can only take cash payments, unfortunately we cannot accept cheque’s or card payments. Gift vouchers can be paid on delivery. Block bookings are to be paid on your first lesson, if you take advantage of our try before you commit deal the remainder of the block booking is due to be paid on the second driving lesson.

Practical Driving Tests

On the day of your practical driving test you have to pay for a driving lesson before the test and the car fee for the test. Please ask your instructor about current pricing.

If your test is rescheduled or you take an additional attempt at your driving lesson, your instructor may ask for additional lessons if there is a delay between your previous test and your next test date. This is to keep your driving at a consistent test standard.
