UK driving lesson prices typically range from £28 to £60 per hour. The national average is around £35-40/hr. Prices vary by location, instructor experience and lesson type. Automatic lessons are usually £2-5/hr more than manual.
ADI stands for Approved Driving Instructor — a DVSA-registered instructor who has passed three qualifying tests. Always check your instructor displays a green ADI badge in their car. CDI only lists instructors verified against DVSA records.
A manual licence allows you to drive both manual and automatic vehicles. An automatic licence restricts you to automatics only. If you want full flexibility, learn manual. If you struggle with the clutch or have a disability, automatic may be more suitable.
The DVSA recommends an average of 45 hours of professional instruction plus 22 hours of private practice. Most learners take between 20 and 60 lessons depending on natural aptitude, lesson frequency and practice between sessions.
