Common Questions

Everything you need to know about finding an instructor

Simply enter your postcode in the search box above. We'll show you all available instructors in your area, sorted by rating. You can also filter by manual or automatic transmission to find exactly what you need.

Manual lessons teach you to drive a car with a gear stick and clutch. You'll be able to drive any car. Automatic lessons are easier as there's no clutch or gear changes, but you'll only be licensed for automatic cars. At DriveThruL automatic costs a little more per hour but usually needs fewer hours.

Yes, every instructor on our platform is DVSA registered (a fully qualified ADI or a DVSA licensed trainee instructor), fully insured, and DBS checked. We verify all credentials before they can teach with DriveThruL.

Absolutely. If you're not getting on with your instructor, just let us know and we'll match you with someone else. No questions asked, no awkward conversations.

Most of our instructors have availability within the same week. Once you find an instructor you like, you can book directly through their profile or message us to arrange your first lesson.
