How long will it take to learn to drive in Oxshott?

Learning time varies by learner but most people take several months of regular lessons and practice. Your instructor can give a personalised estimate based on progress and the frequency of lessons.

Is it better to take my test at Tolworth or Chertsey?

Tolworth has a higher pass rate at 49.2% compared with Chertsey's 46.8% for the reported period (Data source: DVSA 2024-2025). Consider test date availability, travel time and which centre your instructor knows best when booking.

Will I need lessons on busier roads outside Oxshott?

Yes, you should practice on busier routes towards Tolworth and Kingston to prepare for junctions and independent driving. Mixing quiet local roads with longer, busier journeys helps build confidence for the test.

How many tests does Tolworth run each year?

Tolworth recorded 6,893 tests in the 2024-2025 period (Data source: DVSA 2024-2025). That volume means you may find a range of available test dates, but popular slots can fill quickly.

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.
