Clayton driving lessons cost £72 per 2 hours in a manual or £74 in an automatic with Impulse, the 10 Hour Intensive Course is £550, and week intensive crash courses begin at £465. There is no travel charge anywhere in M11.
Which driving test centre is nearest to Clayton?

Do you offer automatic driving lessons in Clayton?
Yes. Clayton learners can learn in an automatic for £74 per 2 hour lesson, and every intensive and week intensive course costs the same in an automatic as in a manual. Driving an automatic frees up attention for trams and pedestrians on Ashton New Road, though an automatic pass only covers automatic cars.
Can I book an intensive driving course or crash course in Clayton?
Yes. Clayton learners can choose the 10 or 20 Hour Intensive Course, at £550 or £1,195, or a week intensive crash course from £465 for 6 hours to £2,195 for 40. Every course includes test booking support, with a practical test date in 1 to 8 weeks, or your money back in full.
What roads will I drive on during lessons in Clayton?
Lessons in Clayton use Ashton New Road, where trams share the road east of Clayton Hall, plus Alan Turing Way, North Road and Clayton Lane, with estate roads such as Folkestone Road for first lessons. Later lessons move onto the test routes of the centre you choose.
Is learning to drive in Clayton difficult?
Learning to drive in Clayton has a few extra challenges, including trams on Ashton New Road and heavy traffic around the Etihad Campus on match and event days. Quiet estate roads give a gentle start, and 3 test centres within 5 miles give a real choice of where to test.
Can I have a female driving instructor in Clayton?
Yes. A female driving instructor in Clayton costs the same as any other instructor, for every lesson and course, provided one covers your part of M11. Enter your postcode to see availability before you pay, with no reason needed.
Can my lessons start from college or work in Clayton?
Yes. Pick ups for Clayton lessons cover home, work and study, including UCFB on the Etihad Campus and The Manchester College in Openshaw, with no travel charge in M11. Lesson slots cover 9am to 8pm, 7 days a week, around classes and shifts.
Which areas near Clayton do you cover?
Impulse covers Clayton in east Manchester, not the Clayton areas near Bradford or Newcastle-under-Lyme, plus Openshaw, Miles Platting, Droylsden, Gorton, Failsworth and Ardwick. All of those areas get the same prices, DVSA approved instructors and door to door pick up.
Can I pay for driving lessons in Clayton monthly?
Yes. Clayton learners can put any intensive or week intensive course on a monthly Payl8r plan at checkout. A pay as you go lesson is paid when it is booked, so it never needs a plan.
