12 Questions to Ask Before Booking a Driving Instructor
Before you book, ask: Are you an ADI or licensed trainee? Do you cover my pickup location? Do you teach manual or automatic? What is your standard lesson price? How long is a lesson? What is your cancellation policy?
The essentials
Then ask: When is your next available slot? Will I have the same instructor and car? How will you assess my progress? Do you offer support for nervous learners? Can lessons fit around work or college? What happens if I need to change an appointment?
What to check
Clear answers make it easier to compare instructors fairly. You may also wish to ask about accessibility requirements and whether your instructor can accommodate them.
