Ways to keep the cost down
You control more of the cost than you might think.
- Book lessons in blocks for a lower hourly rate
- Have lessons close together so you remember more
- Practise with a parent or friend between lessons (with L plates and insurance)
- Pass your theory test early so your test is not delayed
- Turn up on time and prepared, so no lesson time is wasted
Beware the too-good-to-be-true deal
Be wary of very low prices, guaranteed passes and large upfront payments you cannot get back. Always check your instructor is a qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) or a registered trainee, and ask what is included. Our guide to choosing an instructor explains how.
