Still £20 per hour
Beware ! Some adverts ' per lesson ' are actually for as little as 40 minutes. When enquiring the price of Driving Lessons always ask the duration of the lessons! Under this guise - there are schools in Lowestoft charging well over £30 per hour!
There are Instructors charging as little as £15 per hour. Even if they are any good they won't be around for long with fuel costing what it does - i.e. you will probably, suddenly, be left high and dry and have to find another school.
Prepayment discount:
Prepay for 10 hours and I'll give you an extra one free (11 lessons for the price of 10)........

Referral discount: On the back of my card (or any bit of paper) put your name, the date, and the name of the person you have referred. When the referred customer gives it to me on their first lesson: - Existing customers receive one free £20 hour lesson

Fuel is at an all time high price. I will, soon, have to increase my price...
There are schools in this town now charging over £30 per hour
for inferior (see the 'why'' page) instruction...
- Very low prices are usually a sign of low grade Instructors who rely on advertising low rates in the absence or referral from existing or past customers. This usually means that you will need more lessons over all or run a greater risk of test failure/s. Put simply: Pay peanuts - you get Monkeys...
- Usually low introductory prices are not permanent. - find out what you will be paying overall...
- Sometimes, without telling customers, Driving Schools employ PDIs (Provisional Driving Instructors) who are not yet qualified or, worse still, may have already failed qualifying exams... Look at their green licence displayed on the bottom, near side, of their windscreen. Any instructor not showing such a licence is teaching illegally and may not be a qualified instructor.
The best way to choose a Driving Instructor is:
to ask your friends and go by reputation...
