A Quick Update About Lesson Fees from 1 April
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a quick update with you about lesson fees at Driving-Ed.
First of all, thank you for choosing me to be part of your driving journey — whether you're learning from scratch or building confidence as a full licence holder. I’m committed to helping every driver become safe, confident and capable for life.
From 1 April, my lesson fees will be increasing slightly. The equivalent hourly rate will increase by just £2 and you'll find that 90 minute and 2 hour lessons will increase pro-raa
I know that any price change is important, so I want to be open about why this is happening — and more importantly, what you’ll gain from it.
Why Are Fees Increasing?
If only business costs went down once in a while! While fuel prices have stayed fairly steady recently, insurance, vehicle maintenance, and ongoing professional training have all continued to rise.
What I won’t do is cut corners.
I’m not reducing lesson quality, shortening sessions, or scaling back on service. In fact, I’m focused on continuing to improve the experience I offer.
This small adjustment allows me to continue providing:
A modern, dual-controlled vehicle
- Fully qualified, experienced instruction
- Structured lessons tailored to each individual
- Flexible scheduling wherever possible
- High standards focused on first-time pass success
- Great Value for Your Investment
Learning to drive isn’t just about passing a test — it’s about gaining independence, freedom and lifelong road safety.
When you choose Driving-Ed, you’re not just paying for time behind the wheel. You’re investing in:
✔ Personalised lessons at your pace
✔ Calm, patient and supportive teaching
✔ Honest feedback and clear progress tracking
✔ Real-world driving experience — not just test routes
✔ Preparation to drive confidently for life, not just to pass
Even with the new pricing, my lessons remain competitively priced locally and continue to offer excellent value for the level of support and quality you receive.
New: Pay Over Time (Interest Free)
I’m really pleased to introduce something new to make things easier for you.
💳 Pay Over Time – Completely Interest Free
You now have the option to spread the cost of your lessons with flexible, interest-free payments.
That means:
No added interest
- No hidden fees
- No pressure
- Just a more manageable way to budget while keeping your progress on track.
New Grouped Lesson Packages
I’m also introducing new grouped lesson packages to give you even better value.
When you pay for multiple lessons together, you’ll benefit from:
✅ Discounted bundle pricing
✅ Priority booking
✅ A structured progress plan
✅ Better continuity between lessons
These packages are perfect if you’re keen to progress quickly and want the best value per lesson.
Lock in Current Prices Before 1 April
If you’d like to secure lessons at the current rate, you can book and pay before 1 April to lock in the existing price.
Thank You
I genuinely appreciate every single person who chooses Driving-Ed. Watching learners grow in skill and confidence is the best part of what I do.
These changes mean I can continue to raise standards, offer more flexibility, and deliver the high-quality driving education you deserve.
If you have any questions at all about the new fees, payment options or packages, just get in touch — I’m always happy to help.
I’m looking forward to continuing your journey towards driving success!
Jonathan
