Learning to drive in the UK is an important step towards independence. But one of the first questions most learners ask is: “How much do driving lessons cost?” Understanding the factors that affect pricing and what to expect from your lessons can help you plan better and make smart choices.
The cost of driving lessons in the UK varies depending on location, instructor experience, and the type of car. On average:
Manual lessons range between £30 to £40 per hour
Automatic lessons may cost slightly more, often around £35 to £45 per hour
Prices tend to be higher in cities like London or Manchester compared to smaller towns.
Several factors affect how much you’ll pay for driving lessons:
Location – Urban areas usually have higher rates
Lesson type – Automatic cars are typically more expensive
Instructor experience – Highly rated or DVSA-approved instructors may charge more
Lesson duration – Some instructors offer 90-minute or 2-hour sessions at better value per hour
Many driving schools offer discounts if you book multiple lessons in advance. For example:
10-hour packages may save you £20–£50 overall
Some packages include a mock test or free theory resources
These bundles are ideal for serious learners who want structured training.
You might see offers like “10 lessons for £100”, but be cautious:
Such deals may have hidden conditions
Instructors might cut corners or rush lessons
Quality often suffers with extremely low prices
It’s better to choose a trusted instructor with good reviews, even if it costs a bit more.
To get the most out of your driving lessons:
Read reviews of instructors or schools before booking
Ask about what’s included in the price (e.g. pick-up, theory help)
Choose packages that suit your learning pace
Consider longer sessions to improve faster and save overall
