How much are driving lessons in Sevenoaks?
From £60 an hour
My learners typically need far fewer hours than the DVSA's guide, so the total is often lower than people expect. Here's the honest breakdown.
- Pay as you go, no upfront cash
- Your price is locked once you start
- No booking fees, no app fees, no extras
- Nearly 9 in 10 manual learners pass within 30 hours

Lesson prices
| Lesson | Manual | Automatic |
|---|---|---|
| 90 minutes Recommended | £90 | £95 |
| 1 hour | £70 | £75 |
| 3 hours (experienced learners and full-licence holders only) | £170 | £175 |
Why 90 minutes?
Ninety minutes gives you time to settle in, make real progress and finish on a high, without getting tired. It works out at £60 an hour in a manual and about £63 in an automatic.
How paying works
You pay as you go. No block bookings and no money upfront. Once you start, your price is locked, even if my prices go up.
What learning to drive really costs
Here's how many hours my learners actually needed, so you can budget with confidence. The DVSA's guide is about 45 hours of lessons.

Practice at home
Practising with a parent makes the biggest difference of all: it cuts about 8 hours of lessons on average. My free Parents' Guide shows you how to help.

Time and money well spent
Had a lesson a week and passed in just over two months with no minors which is testament to his teaching and good habits taught to me.

Questions about cost
How many lessons will I need?
Nearly 9 in 10 of my manual learners passed within 30 hours of lessons, and practising with a parent cuts about 8 hours on average. After your first lesson, I'll give you an honest estimate for you.
Do I have to pay upfront or book a block?
No. You pay as you go, lesson by lesson.
Will my price go up while I'm learning?
No. Once you start, your price is locked until you pass.
What if I need to cancel a lesson?
Please give me at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange, so I can offer the time to someone else. Otherwise you will be required to pay in full for the lesson.
