There is a charge of the normal hourly rate for this and will be discussed.
If you have your own car and prefer to take your test in it, then that is also no issue.

Yes we do this is also on our terms and conditions.
We operate a 48 hour cancellation policy.

Do I have to pass my theory before I start to learn to drive?
No but it is very beneficial if you have.
It will help you have an understanding of how the roads work and the laws around driving.
It also means when your instructor thinks it’s time to book a practical test, you are ready to book one.
This is quite essential with the current waiting times for tests.
