Driving Lesson Prices - Why do driving schools charge different rates?
When choosing a driving school, it can be confusing with many different deals on offer.
What you must remember is that you don’t get anything for nothing and that all driving instructors are self employed. Why is this important, well think about it - if driving instructors are self employed and they are very good at their job then they can charge more for their services. If they are not very good and are desperate for work, then they tend to charge less for their services. What tends to happend when an instructor charges much less than the market in their area is that they make you have more lessons to compensate them. An example of how this works and how it effects your total driving lesson costs can be found here.
Also never sign up to any pre-paid driving lessons before you have had a couple of lessons with that instructor, because what happens if you don’t get on with them. You will either have to carry on having lessons that you hate or loose your money - you have been warned.
Try to choose a driving school based on their reputation and not by how cheap you think their lessons are!
