Driving Lessons in Southall

Lessons are £40 an hour across UB1, UB2 and UB6, and automatic costs exactly the same as manual. Ten hours is £389 and twenty is £764, which brings it to £38.20 an hour. The figures come from the booking system, so the price here is the price you book.

There is a centre in the town, and Yeading is three and a half miles north west. Yeading's figures are at the top of this page at 52.8%, the strongest in Middlesex; the Southall centre publishes 44.8%. Isleworth is south in Hounslow and sits between them.

It is worth asking your instructor. Yeading publishes 52.8% against 44.8% in the town, which is a wide gap for three and a half miles, but testing where you learned has its own value because nothing on the day is unfamiliar. Pass rates reflect the mix of candidates as well as the roads.

Yes, at the same price as manual, and it is a reasonable default here. On the Broadway you spend more of a lesson stationary than moving, and an automatic turns that into observation practice. Say automatic when you book.

No. Rated Driving is an agent rather than a school, which is why the instructor who turns up is a local independent working UB postcodes and not an employee sent from a depot. We hold your payment until after each lesson, then pass it on. Every instructor is DVSA-licensed and DBS-checked, and you can ask for a female instructor.

Southall, Norwood Green, Dormers Wells, Hambrough, Old Southall, Havelock, Northcote, Glebe and Western Road among others. Enter your postcode and we check who covers your exact street.

It is the hardest road in the UB area and that tends to help. Constant pedestrian movement, buses and loading mean you learn anticipation earlier and better than on a quiet road. Instructors build up to it rather than starting there.

Yes. Say nervous when you book and we match you with a patient instructor. The terraced grid around Dormers Wells and Glebe is quiet on a weekday morning, which is where instructors start rather than on the Broadway.

Yes. Say refresher when you book. Confidence around pedestrians and the Broadway itself are the two commonest asks here.

Yes. Pass Plus is the DVSA's six-module course for new licence holders and covers motorway, dual carriageway, rural and night driving, with some insurers reducing premiums for it. From Southall the M4 is the practical route for the motorway module, and the rural one means heading west.

DVSA research puts it at 45 hours of professional lessons plus 22 hours of private practice. Dense traffic tends to slow the first hours and pay it back later, because observation gets built sooner than it would elsewhere. Your instructor will give you an honest count after assessing you.

They can, before your test if you want. Learners are allowed on motorways in a dual-control car with a fully qualified instructor. The M4 is the practical route from here, south past Osterley.

It moves weekly, so check GOV.UK on the day you book. Two things stay true: tests can be booked up to 24 weeks ahead, and there is no official waiting list or cancellation list. Yeading's rate makes it sought after well beyond Southall, so check the town centre alongside it. If you already hold a date and want an earlier one, our free Driving Test Swap matches you with another learner who wants yours.

An intensive course compresses the hours into consecutive days instead of weekly lessons. It is booked and priced separately from hourly lessons. You book your own test on GOV.UK, and our free swap simply matches you with another learner who wants the date you hold.
