Terms of Business

To ensure the smooth running of the Driving School, we ask you to accept our following Terms of Business:

  1. The fee for a one hour driving lesson is £21.00 which is payable by cash or by cheque (supported by a cheque guarantee card.) A minimum of four weeks notice will be given if there is to be an increase in lesson fees.
  2. CANCELLATION OF LESSONS. Please give a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel a pre-arranged driving lesson. If necessary, leave a message on our home answer phones or mobile phones. Cancellations by text message cannot be accepted. If less than 24 hours notice is given, the full lesson price will be due.
  3. If the Driving School car breaks down and your Instructor is unable to give you more than 24 hours notice of cancellation on your lesson, then your next lesson will be half price.
  4. Practical Driving Tests: Your Instructor will book your test when he considers you are ready. The Driving School reserves the right to withhold the use of the driving school car if, in your Instructors professional opinion, your driving has not reached the standard required to pass the driving test. This is in the interests of safety for yourself, the examiner and the driving school car. Should such circumstances arise, you will be advised no less than 20 days before your test appointment to put your test back to a later date to allow extra time for training. This in no way prohibits you from taking your test in another car.
  5. The fee on the day of your test will be the fee for a 2 ¼ hour - 2 ½ hour driving lesson. The exact time and money involved will depend on your pick up and drop off points. The fee will cover the cost of a pre-test lesson, the hire of the school car for your test and Instructors time during your test. Please repay promptly any money your Instructor has paid in advance on your behalf to book your theory and/or practical test(s).
  6. Any books, folders, CD ROM’s or material loaned to you for study purposes regarding the Driving Theory Test remain the property of the Driving School and should be returned in good condition.
  7. You must be in possession of a valid, signed driving licence and have it with you for your theory and practical driving test appointments. You should also ensure that you can read a car number plate at the minimum distance of 20.5 meters / 67 feet and never be under the influence of drink or drugs.

A copy of both the Code of Conduct and Terms of Business will be issued to you on your first driving lesson and at any other time you request.
