You can pay for your driving lessons in a couple of different ways. Ideally, our instructors take payment upfront before your lesson, at least 24 hours ahead, or as agreed on the day of your first lesson. You will have an initial conversation with your allocated driving tutor, who will discuss their preferred payment method with you. Most of the time you will be paying via bank transfer. Cash is accepted. No cheques. To pay the company directly, call 0800 488 0817 or 07926 943702.

You will need to bring your provisional driving licence. Your driving instructor must see it before you drive on public roads. You will also need it for both your theory and practical driving tests, so keep it somewhere safe. You should also be able to read a number plate at 20 metres, with glasses or contact lenses if you wear them.
