Find My Instructor Search
Oakham is a small Rutland market town with narrow streets, a lively Market Place and easy access to countryside roads. Lessons here mix town-centre driving and rural lanes around Rutland Water, so you'll practice both slow manoeuvres and higher-speed A-road work. Local character is calm and steady, but instructor numbers are low so you may need to travel for more lesson slots. You'll often use the A606 for trips out towards Melton Mowbray.
You pay the instructor directly for lessons. We only charge a small booking fee of £18.99 to £34.99 if we secure you a real start date, and it is refunded if you do not start on the agreed date.
