When you compare driving classes, the price per lesson is only part of the picture. What you really want to know is what each option includes, how many hours you are likely to need and which package suits the way you want to learn. Below you can see what each option is for and how to choose. Prices can change, so always check the latest figures on our price list before you book.
What driving class options are there and what do they cost?
- Single lessons: one-to-one automatic lessons, available in different lengths, for a first lesson or regular tuition booked as you go.
- Blocks of lesson hours: for learners who already know they want regular tuition and would rather book in one go.
- Pass Plus: additional tuition after you pass, covering motorway, dual carriageway, town driving, all-weather driving, night and rural roads.
- Test day fee: for your practical test day.
- Intensive driving course: a concentrated course including the practical test at Warwick Wedgnock House.
See every option with its current price on the price list.
All lessons are automatic, one-to-one and taught in a fully electric Hyundai Kona.
What affects how much you spend on driving classes overall?
The total you spend depends far more on how many hours you need than on the price of a single lesson. That number is different for everyone. It depends on your previous driving experience, your confidence and how quickly you progress.
There is no mandatory minimum number of lessons. DVSA guidance suggests that learners typically need around 45 hours of professional driving tuition alongside approximately 20 hours of private practice. Treat that as a general benchmark from the DVSA, not a target or a promise: readiness, not a fixed number of hours, decides when you take your test.
- Complete beginners start from the basics: control, observation, junctions, roundabouts and manoeuvres.
- Nervous learners often do best with a patient, gradual approach that builds confidence step by step.
- Drivers returning after a break or holding an international licence may need fewer hours focused on UK roads, rules and test expectations.
- Private practice with an appropriate accompanying driver reinforces what you learn in your lessons.
Learning in an automatic removes the clutch and gear changes, but you still need to develop observation, judgement, positioning, hazard awareness and independent driving, so do not assume an automatic learner always needs far fewer lessons.
Are single driving lessons or blocks better value?
Single lessons suit you if you want to try a first lesson, fit driving around a busy week or top up before a test. A longer lesson gives you more time behind the wheel in one session. Blocks of lesson hours suit learners who already know they want regular tuition and would rather book in one go.
If you are unsure, start with one lesson. On your first lesson Issy assesses your current level and any previous experience and sets a personalised starting point, which makes it easier to plan how many hours you are likely to need.
Is an intensive driving course worth the price?
The intensive driving course includes concentrated tuition and the practical test at Warwick Wedgnock House. It is designed for learners who want to work towards their test through a more concentrated course.
It is not a crash course. Drive With Issy does not guarantee a test pass and will not recommend a learner for the practical test until they are ready, including on intensive courses. The aim is to make you a safe and responsible driver, not to rush you through a test.

“Issy is a great instructor. He explained everything very patiently and learning with him was very easy.” — Adina Joita, Google review
What is Pass Plus for?
Pass Plus is additional tuition after you pass, covering motorways, dual carriageways, town driving, all-weather driving, night driving and rural roads. If you passed some time ago and want to rebuild confidence, refresher lessons are another option.
