The cost of driving lessons is significant and unless you have natural driving talent or were born knowing everything, then you'll need to enlist the help of somebody to help you pass your driving test.
This can be a parent or a friend but most people end up taking driving lessons with a driving school.
Driving lesson prices are typically around £25 an hour and you'll be lucky to need less than 30 of them. Getting more experience with a parent or friend is very valuable but it's illegal to pay anybody other than a qualified driving instructor for lessons.....but you can pay for their petrol.
The cost of 30 to 40 driving lessons with a qualified instructor works out at £750 to £1000. To help keep the cost of driving lessons down, many instructors offer discounts if you pre-book a number of lessons.
