Booking an Intensive Driving Course in Bedford
Despite almost every potential learner knowing plenty of people who already have a licence, there are things no one tells you about learning to drive. Most people don’t realise that there’s a better way than simply taking weekly driving lessons. Instead, structured intensive courses are the way to go—and that’s exactly what PassMeFast specialise in.
We offer courses and prices designed to suit people at every stage of learning to drive. There are short refresher courses, longer packages for beginners, and everything in between. Don’t worry about all the choices on offer, though: we’ve created a handy course recommender that can point you in the direction of your perfect option.
Interested in automatic intensive driving lessons in Bedford?
Every learner finds different aspects of driving challenging. For some, gear changes and clutch control can be real stumbling blocks. If that sounds like you, then you may be able to improve your driving experience by learning in an automatic car. PassMeFast is pleased to offer all of its intensive driving courses in both manual and automatic vehicles, meaning that you can get on the road in either transmission.
Our courses are more than just the lessons themselves, though—there are a few things that make us different. Firstly, there’s the structure of the course: either intensive or semi-intensive, meaning that you’ll learn the skills you need at a quicker pace. Then, there’s our fast-tracking system, which allows us to find tests well ahead of the usual waiting times. Our students can also expect excellent customer service, and (of course!) top-class tuition from a DVSA-approved driving instructor.
As you can see, a PassMeFast course is packed with little extras to help take the stress out of getting your licence—all while helping to speed up your journey. It’s a win-win! So, what are you waiting for? Isn’t it time you got your driving licence?

Practical Driving Test Centres in Bedford
There are a few questions all learner drivers have about their driving test. How likely are you to pass, for example? Will you fail your test if you stall? And, most importantly, where will it take place? Well, if you live here in the Bedford area, the Cardington test centre will be your closest option. Elsewhere in the county, you can also head to Luton or Leighton Buzzard.
Theory Test Centres in Bedford
Here in Bedfordshire, learners aren’t exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to taking the theory test. In fact, Luton theory test centre is the only one in the county! If you need alternatives, you’ll have to look outside Bedfordshire to nearby Milton Keynes and Stevenage.
Haven't taken your theory test yet?
Many learners don’t realise that there’s a set order in which you need to take your tests: you must pass your theory test before you can even book a practical. With this in mind, it’s a good idea to get your theory out of the way as quickly as possible. If you’re in this boat, add a theory test onto your PassMeFast booking. We’ll then arrange it to take place at a time, date and test centre to suit you.
Driving in and around Bedford
Though there’s no such thing as a guaranteed pass, you can help ensure driving test success by getting to know the area where you’ll be taking the practical. By doing so, you’ll be adept at dealing with tricky junctions in the vicinity, and will feel more at ease on the big day itself. Luckily, with Cardington lying just to the south of Bedford, it won’t be hard to spend some of your lessons getting to know this area a little better.
While you’re in the Cardington area, your test routes may take in parts of central Bedford, as well as other areas to the south of the town centre, such as Kempston. This means that you can expect roads such as the A421 (Bypass) and A6 to appear on your test. Key junctions include the Elstow Interchange and Cardington Cross. An interesting feature is a turbo roundabout on Union Street—a type of roundabout rarely seen in the UK.
Driving Instructors in Bedford
Most learners find driving instructors in Bedford by searching online or through a recommendation. Many instructors use social media or websites to advertise themselves and some are listed on the DVSA website. It can be difficult to find an available instructor — they’re still in very high demand after lockdowns, with some waiting lists up to 4 months long!

Driving Schools in Bedford
Instead of learning to drive with an independent driving instructor, some people choose to learn with a driving school. Driving schools tend to offer a slower, more traditional approach to learning to drive than intensive course specialists like PassMeFast.
The major downside of the traditional 1- or 2-hour weekly lesson is that you don’t get to book a test until your instructor thinks you are ready — and with most test centres in Bedfordshire being fully booked months in advance, you could end up waiting a long time (and wasting money on lessons to stop your skills from getting rusty while you wait).
PassMeFast works around you and your schedule, and your lessons will be at a pace that works for you in a modern, goal-focused way. PassMeFast is the faster and easier route to driving — we’ll do all the admin, our courses include a fast-tracked practical test date, and your driving instructor will pick you up from home or work.
