Understanding Automatic Driving Lessons
Automatic driving lessons differ from manual lessons in that they remove the need to learn clutch control, making the learning process simpler for many. But is it worth just learning automatic? Absolutely. Automatic cars are becoming more prevalent, and being able to drive one can open up more opportunities for you.
The Cost of Automatic Driving Lessons
In Morden, the cost of automatic driving lessons typically falls between £35-£45 per hour. Wimbledon Driving School sits comfortably in the middle of this range, offering competitive pricing without compromising on the quality of instruction.
While some schools charge a few pounds extra for automatic lessons due to the higher cost of automatic cars, Wimbledon Driving School charges one price for either automatic or manual lessons. We want our clients to be comfortable and for cost not to be a factor in choosing what is the best transmission to aid in learning to drive and helping people become mobile.
So, are automatic lessons cheaper overall? It depends on how quickly you learn, but they can be.
The Learning Process
The number of lessons you’ll need to drive an automatic car varies depending on your previous driving experience and how quickly you pick up the skills. A quick learner might be ready for their test after about 25 hours of lessons.
The average learner, however, might need around 45 hours to fully prepare for the test. Some people might require more hours if necessary. As for whether automatic lessons are easier, most learners find the lack of a clutch and gear stick makes the learning process less complex.
The Automatic Driving Test
The automatic driving test in the UK is very similar to the manual test, but you’ll be using an automatic car. Many learners find the test less stressful without the worry of stalling or gear changes. The standard test lasts around 40 minutes, while an extended test lasts at least 60 minutes.
Automatic Driving Licence
Once you pass your automatic driving test, you’ll receive an automatic driving licence. This licence allows you to drive automatic cars, but not manual ones. Is it worth it? If you have no desire to drive a manual car, then absolutely. And yes, an automatic licence does count as a full UK driving licence.
Handling an Automatic Car
Driving an automatic car is straightforward once you get the hang of it. You’ll need to learn how to start and stop the car, how to change gears (even though there are fewer of them), and how to park. We’ll cover all these skills in your lessons, ensuring you’re confident on the road.
Common Misconceptions and Questions
There are many misconceptions about automatic cars. For instance, it’s almost impossible to stall an automatic car because the car controls the gears for you. And while automatic cars can roll back on a hill if the brake isn’t applied, most modern automatics have a hill-start assist feature to prevent this.

“Anyone looking for an automatic driving instructor, I recommend Faiza 110%. She is very professional, patient and won’t stop cheering for you.
