Finding your instructor locally
Find a Truro instructor and a suitable place to start
Local information checked 21 October 2026
We help you find one of our vetted instructors for Truro and confirm the pickup address before offering a match. Tell us your preferred transmission, when you can learn and which part of the city is convenient.
Choose a permitted lesson location
Cornwall Council says learner driving lessons are not allowed at either Park for Truro site, at Langarth or Tregurra. The council places Langarth west of Truro off the A390 at Threemilestone and Tregurra east of the city near the A39/A390 junction at Union Hill. Give us a different pickup address and we will check whether an instructor covers it.
Highertown and New Mills are nearby places to mention when arranging a pickup. They can help describe a pickup area, but the exact address still needs to be confirmed with the instructor.
A confirmed instructor and price
We contact suitable instructors in our vetted network and confirm pickup coverage, manual or automatic tuition, available dates and times, and lesson price directly. We negotiate the best available rate for your request. You can review the instructor and terms before accepting; the offer is held for at least 24 hours.
Search fee and lesson payments
Pay the MyInstructorFinder search fee upfront: £9.99 for up to 10 requested hours or £19.99 for 11 or more, plus optional £25 Priority. We keep it only if you accept an offer. If no suitable offer is found by the agreed deadline or the final held offer expires unaccepted, we refund the full fee including Priority. Declining any offer closes the entire search and brings the same full refund.
Pay lesson fees directly to your instructor on the day of each lesson. No advance lesson payment or deposit is required through this service.

Test-centre distances are approximate straight-line estimates from the Truro area, not road distances from your pickup.
