Pay As You Go means paying £72 manual or £74 automatic per 2-hour session, with total flexibility over when you book. Block booking means paying upfront for 10 hours — £340 manual or £350 automatic — which works out cheaper per hour for learners committed to regular lessons.
Yes — PAYG lessons are ideal for beginners who want to try driving before committing to a course. Your first session includes a full assessment, and your instructor recommends whether flexible lessons or a structured course suits you best.
Both. Manual PAYG lessons cost £72 and automatic £74 per 2-hour session, with the same ADI-approved instructors. Automatic suits learners who want simpler early progress; manual gives you a licence covering both transmission types.
Each 2-hour session is structured around your ability: a short review of your current level, focused practice on your weakest areas — junctions, manoeuvres, busy Manchester roads — and clear feedback with recommended next steps at the end.
Yes, at any time. Many learners start with PAYG sessions, then switch to a 10-hour block booking or an intensive course once they know their instructor and their goals. Your completed PAYG hours count towards your overall progress.
No — you can start pay as you go driving lessons before passing your theory test. You only need a valid provisional licence. Your theory must be passed before your practical driving test can be booked.
Bring your provisional driving licence and glasses or contact lenses if you need them. Wear comfortable, flat shoes. Your instructor handles everything else — including a fully insured, dual-controlled car for every session.

Start learning on your terms — book a single 2-hour lesson with an ADI-approved instructor near you, and build from there at your pace.
