Why find your instructor through us?

Checked before we introduce

We check every instructor is on the DVSA register as a fully qualified instructor and is insured.

Local, not a big chain

Independent instructors and small local schools only. No national companies.

Pay your instructor directly

Your lesson money goes straight to your instructor at the price shown. Our only fee is £50.

Matched in 3 working days

Introduced within 3 working days, or your £50 back.

How it works

Four steps to a local instructor we trust

You’ve got enough to think about without being passed around by a national company. We taught here for more than 10 years, so we know the difference between a good instructor and a wasted hour. Now we use that to find you a fully qualified independent instructor, or a small local school, close to where you are.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Tell us your area, manual or automatic, and how many hours you want.

  2. Fill in the form

    Fill in the form and sign the consent.

  3. Pay a £50 finding fee

    Pay a £50 finding fee — that’s it to us.

  4. Get introduced

    We introduce you within 3 working days. You pay your instructor directly for the lessons.

Can’t find a suitable match? You get the £50 back. First introduction not right, and you haven’t started lessons? We’ll introduce one more person at no extra charge.

Why pay £50? Your lesson money goes to the person teaching you, not to a big brand. The £50 is our fee for checking them and making the introduction: they’re on the official DVSA register, they’re insured, and they cover your area.

Lesson prices shown on this site (from £35/hr Regular, from £44/hr Crash) are instructor prices, paid to your instructor. The £50 finding fee is paid to us after checkout, on top. You’ll need a valid UK provisional driving licence. Apply on GOV.UK.

I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Obbie. He is very patient and calm which made me feel confident behind the wheel. He explains everything clearly and makes sure you understand each step before moving on. Obbie always encouraged me and helped me improve at my own pace. Thanks to his guidance I was able to pass my test with confidence. I would highly recommend Obbie to anyone looking for a great driving instructor.
