Frequently asked questions
How much do driving lessons cost in Farnborough, Aldershot and Camberley?
Automatic driving lessons with Leap Driving Centre start from £41 an hour, and manual lessons start from £44 an hour. Block bookings cost less per hour: a 10-hour automatic course is £395 and a 20-hour course is £785, while manual is £425 for 10 hours and £845 for 20. Free pick-up and drop-off is included.
What is the difference between manual and automatic driving lessons?
In a manual car you control the clutch and gears yourself, so there is more to learn at the start. An automatic has no clutch, so you can focus on the road, which many new drivers find simpler. Both are taught one-to-one by a patient instructor. Choose manual if you want to be able to drive any car, or automatic for a smoother start.
If I pass in an automatic car, can I drive a manual?
No. A pass in an automatic gives you a licence for automatic cars only. A pass in a manual car lets you drive both manual and automatic cars. If you are not sure which suits you, ask us and we will talk it through before you book.
Which areas do you cover for driving lessons?
We teach driving lessons in Aldershot, Camberley, Farnborough, Farnham, Fleet, Frimley, Guildford and Bordon, and the roads around them. If you live nearby and are not sure we cover your postcode, message us and we will tell you.
Is pick-up and drop-off included?
Yes. Free pick-up and drop-off is included, so your instructor collects you and brings you back and you do not need to travel to a meeting point.
Are your driving instructors DVSA-approved?
Yes. Our instructors are DVSA-approved and bring the same patient, structured approach to every lesson. You can ask to see your instructor’s badge at your first lesson.
How many driving lessons will I need?
It depends on you. The DVSA says learners take about 45 hours of lessons with an instructor plus about 22 hours of private practice on average, but some people need fewer and some need more. Your instructor will tell you honestly how you are progressing and when you are ready for your test.
Do you offer driving lesson packages?
Yes. Paying for 10 or 20 hours together costs less than paying hourly. Automatic: £395 for 10 hours (saving £15) or £785 for 20 hours (saving £35). Manual: £425 for 10 hours (saving £15) or £845 for 20 hours (saving £35).
What do I need before my first driving lesson?
You need a provisional driving licence, which you can apply for on GOV.UK from age 15 years and 9 months. You must be 17 to start driving a car, or 16 if you get the enhanced rate of the PIP mobility component. Bring your licence to your first lesson. You do not need any driving experience.
How much does the driving test cost?
At the time of writing, the theory test costs £23 and the practical test costs £62 on a weekday or £75 on evenings, weekends and bank holidays. You book both on GOV.UK, and fees can change, so check the current price before you book.
Can I choose lesson times that suit me?
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling. Tell us which days and times fit around work, college or family, and we will find the best fit with your instructor.
Do you teach on driving test routes in Farnborough and the local area?
Yes. We tailor every lesson to real roads and real test routes local to you, so the roads feel familiar by the time you take your test.
