Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you are looking to take part in an intensive course, regular driving lessons, a Pass Plus course or a refresher course prices will vary. That said, we are more than honest about our pricing structure and you will find our driving lessons affordable. You can also make savings by booking multiple lessons in advance.

What type of cars do you use for driving lessons?
Gearlessads use a variety of automatic cars that are easy to manoeuvre and take lessons in. We use small to large family cars or SUVs, so that we know you can comfortably drive them while you learn.

Am I limited to just one lesson per week or can I have more?
We will aim to fit in as many lessons as you want if we think that you need them. If you want to gain your driving licence promptly then we would recommend the intensive course. Regular driving lessons can be as frequent as you want though we do find that most of our regular students are trying to stick to a budget and like to book a slot for one to two lessons per week.

Can you book my theory test?
You can book your driving theory test with the nearest DSA (Driving Standards Agency) and VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency) office – otherwise known as the DVSA.

What does the theory test entail?
There are two parts to a car driving theory test. These include both the multiple choice as well as the hazard perception elements. Both sections are taken on the same day and you must pass both parts in order to pass the entire theory test.

What is a theory certificate?
Once you have passed both sections of a theory test you will be issued with a pass certificate. This means that you can take your practical driving test.

How do you help me prepare for my driving test?
Preparation is key in passing your driving test and our team will guide you from the very start, ensuring that you trust your own driving and are confident when you take the wheel. Our driving tuition is based on quality education and we encourage you to use a number of tools aimed at improving your confidence whilst driving. This includes offering recommendations on publications and other information that will help you discover driving and being safe on the road.

Do you use automatic cars?
We only use automatic cars. If you learn in an automatic car but in the future you would like learn in an manual car you will have to take another test in a manual vehicle. You can make the decision whether to learn in an automatic car or not when you book.

Will you book the practical driving test for me?
You will need to have passed your car driving theory test before we plan your practical driving test. If you have already passed your theory test and we know that you feel ready for your practical driving test then we will book this on your behalf if you wish,but it is recommended to book your test personally.

Do you take lessons over evenings and weekends?
Yes. We work around the clock to make it much more convenient for our students to book lessons with us around work, college or social life.

Do you charge more fees for evening and weekend lessons?
No. Our prices are fixed so that you know exactly what you are expecting to pay.

Will you be teaching in pairs?
No. We don’t take groups of pupils and all of your learner driving experiences with us will be on a one-to-one basis so that we can focus entirely on your individual learning.

May I book an intensive course?
Of course, we will need a little notice so that we can book you into our intensive course and plan the practical driving test at the local centre.

Is your regular driving tuition limited to a one hour slot?
We are often asked this question and, of course, if you are limited on how much you can spend each week on lessons then an hour might be suitable. However, most of our students find a longer session is more beneficial.

Will you drop me off in a different place to where you collect me?
We will of course do this within reason.

Do you offer the Pass Plus course?
Yes we do.
