  • You already have some driving experience and want to finish what you started
  • You’ve had lessons before and want to refresh quickly, not start over
  • You’re moving away soon and want your licence sorted before you go
  • You can take a full week (or two) off work or college to focus on driving

Stick With Weekly
No pressure either way

Stick to weekly lessons when…

  • You’d rather spread the cost across several months than pay upfront
  • You’re happy to pass in six or twelve months — there’s no rush
  • You want time to practise in a friend or family member’s car between lessons
  • You can’t take a full week off work, college, or other commitments
  • You’ve never sat behind the wheel and want to build confidence gradually
