There are several ways in which you can ensure that you are going to save some money on getting driving lessons.
Practice With Someone You Know Outside Of Your Paid Lessons
One of the best ways to ensure that you are getting the most done for the least possible money is to ensure that you are complementing your paid driving lessons with practice sessions with family or friends.
If you have someone who has the legal capacity and the understanding to help you to learn to drive, this can really improve how quickly you will learn and can save you a lot of money as well as giving you some fresh perspective and a more varied experience of driving.
Shop Around
You have the freedom and capacity to check out what’s available in your local area. It is a good idea to talk to your friends and relatives to see who has enjoyed their experiences with their driving instructors.
At the end of the day, if the instructor you settle on has a good track record of getting people through their lessons and tests with relative ease, then you are likely to end up spending less on lessons.
Have Longer Lessons Or Multiple Lessons Over A Short Period Of Time
Two ways that can improve your experience and sometimes get good discounts are as follows. Having longer lessons means that you are spending more time focussing on learning rather than getting to or from the destinations where you are going to be learning specific manoeuvres.
This means you are more likely to get a good amount of actual practical time being taught in the driver seat.
Instead of going for 1 hour lessons, go for 2 hour lessons and you may find that driving becomes a lot more natural a lot more quickly.
Another good thing to do is to prebook several lessons in close proximity of each other. Often prebooking and booking blocks of lessons will encourage your driving instructor to give you a discount.
Borrow Or Buy Revision Materials From Friends And Family
The cost of investing in revision books and DVDs for your theory test is usually quite significant.
You are bound to know a few people who are either currently trying to pass their test or have already passed. In either case, it can’t hurt to try and save some money by obtaining the materials from people you know.
