Learner FAQ’s

Good question. The prices for driving lessons vary in different postcodes and transmission types. For example, manual driving lessons in ME20 are cheaper than manual driving lessons in CM1.

To find out the prices of driving lessons in your area, type in your postcode on the homepage of the Rated Driving website and select ‘get prices‘.

If you need any help or have any further questions, please use the live chat, or give us a call on 0330 0439896.

There are times where you will need to cancel your driving lessons with your instructor due to unforeseen circumstances.

To cancel your driving lesson, please let your driving instructor know by giving at least 48 hours notice via the chat of the app. To see the policy in full, please read our terms and conditions.

Refund Policy

To Request a Refund:

1. Send an email to support@rateddriving.com detailing the number of hours you wish to refund and the reason for the request.
2. Rated Driving will consult with your assigned driving instructor to validate the refundable hours.

Refund Processing Time:

1. Refunds over £100 for payments made more than 30 days prior will be processed within 14 working days.
2. Refunds under £100 will be processed within 7 working days.

Discounted Packages:

• Refunds on discounted block bookings are calculated using the standard hourly rate.
• For instance, if the standard rate is £35 per hour, but a block booking offers 10 hours for £310 (£31 per hour): If you have used 5 hours and request a refund for the remaining 5, your refund will be based on the standard rate. Calculation: £310 (block rate) – £175 (5 hours x £35) = £135 refund.

Please Note:

• Refunds are issued by Rated Driving on behalf of the driving instructor.
• Funds will be returned to the original bank account from which the payment was made.
