How much do lessons cost in Camberley?

Lesson prices vary by instructor and lesson length, and local averages are not supplied here. Expect rates to differ for evenings, weekends and intensive courses, and ask about block-booking discounts.

How long does it typically take to pass in this area?

Time to pass depends on ability, lesson frequency and practice. With regular weekly lessons and local practice on A30 and A331 roads, many learners take a few months, but individual times vary.

Should I practise on dual carriageways near Camberley?

Yes, practising the A331 Blackwater Valley Route and short sections of the A30 helps with speed control and lane discipline. Your instructor should include these roads in later lessons to prepare you for the Farnborough test route.

Are test bookings at Farnborough easy to get?

Farnborough handles over 3,000 tests a year, so there is regular availability, but popular dates can fill up. Book early and look for cancellations if you need an earlier slot (Data source: DVSA 2024-2025).

How do I pick an instructor who knows local test routes?

Ask potential instructors whether they regularly take candidates to Farnborough and if they run mock tests on A30 and A331 routes. Choose someone with local experience who offers a clear lesson plan and mock test sessions.

How much do driving lessons cost?

Driving lesson prices vary by location and instructor, typically ranging from £30 to £45 per hour. Many instructors offer discounted rates for block bookings of 10 or more lessons. First lessons are often discounted to help you get started.

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 a fully qualified ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) with good reviews. Consider their availability, the type of car they use, their teaching style, and whether they offer the lesson times you need. A good instructor should be patient, clear in their explanations, and make you feel comfortable.

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.
