Understanding local pass rates
DVSA reports an overall pass rate of 46.6% at Worthing for 2024-2025. This describes recorded tests at the centre and does not predict an individual learner's result.
Local driving conditions and tips
Start lessons on quiet feeder lanes off the A284 to build confidence before tackling the A27 dual carriageway. Practice pulling out at the A27 roundabouts and lane discipline near Arundel roundabout and Crossbush junction. Expect narrow, tourist-heavy streets around the castle in summer and watch for pedestrians and cyclists on Tarrant Street and Maltravers Street. Work on hill starts around the river crossings and on South Street. Use early morning slots for quieter dual carriageway practice and to avoid school-run traffic.

Questions learners ask about Arundel

Last reviewed: February 2026

Which practical test centre is closest to Arundel?
Worthing is the nearest centre in our local data, 8.6 miles from Arundel.
What is the pass rate at Worthing?
DVSA reports an overall pass rate of 46.6% at Worthing for 2024-2025. Pass rates describe all recorded tests and do not predict an individual result.

How much do lessons cost in Arundel?
MyInstructorFinder does not compare lesson prices. Check an instructor's own website or contact them directly before booking to ask about lesson costs.
How long does it take to learn to drive in Arundel?
Learning time varies by learner but many people need several months of regular lessons to reach test standard. Regular practice on A27 roundabouts and Arundel's narrow town streets speeds up progress.
Should I practise on the A27 before my test?
Yes, practising on the A27 dual carriageway helps with speed judgement and lane discipline expected at Worthing test routes. Ask your instructor for mock high-speed runs outside peak times.
Are Arundel town centre roads difficult for learner drivers?
Arundel town centre has narrow streets and tourist traffic, especially near Arundel Castle and the river crossing. Practice low-speed control, parking on South Street, and dealing with pedestrians and cyclists during lessons.
How much do driving lessons cost?
MyInstructorFinder does not compare lesson prices. Check an instructor's own website or contact them directly before booking to ask about lesson costs.
How many driving lessons will I need to pass?
Most learners need between 40 to 50 hours of professional tuition, plus around 20 hours of private practice. However, this varies based on your confidence, how quickly you learn, and how often you practice between lessons.
Should I learn in a manual or automatic car?
If you pass in an automatic, you can only drive automatic cars. Passing in a manual gives you the flexibility to drive both. Automatics are easier to learn in and becoming more popular, especially with electric vehicles on the rise.
How do I book my driving test?
You can book your practical driving test online through the DVSA website or by calling their booking line. You will need your provisional licence number and your theory test pass certificate number. Tests cost £62 on weekdays or £75 on evenings and weekends.
What should I look for in a driving instructor?
Look for clear published reviews, the right transmission, teaching experience, lesson details and areas covered. Read the full profile and compare several instructors before choosing who to contact.
Can I use my own car for driving lessons?
Most instructors prefer to use their own dual-controlled vehicles for safety reasons. However, some may offer lessons in your car for an additional fee. You would need to ensure your car is properly insured for learner driver use.
