Driving lesson FAQs

Can I choose between automatic and manual car for my driving lessons?

Yes, simply choose based between manual or automatic when you book your driving lessons. Although please remember if you pass your test driving an automatic car, you won't be able to drive a manual vehicle in the future without re-taking your test driving a manual car. 

Do you get a test at the end of your intensive driving course in Bristol?

Our driving courses include a practical test at the end. You won’t have to join the long DVSA queue either. Our team of experts will fast-track your practical test, meaning you could pass in as little as 3 months. Already have your own test booked? No problem! You can let us know when you book. 

Is an intensive driving course beneficial in Bristol?

Intensive driving course isn't for you? No problem! PassMeFast work around your schedule, so if you'd prefer a more laid-back pace, just let us know when you book your course.

How does an intensive driving course work in Bristol?

Intensive driving courses work by booking a block of lessons bundled with your theory and practical driving tests. We’ll then do all the admin, book your fast-tracked driving test and assign an expert instructor to teach you. Unlike other intensive driving courses, PassMeFast lets you choose how many hours you drive per day. From fully intensive (4-5 hours) or semi-intensive driving lessons (2 hours) — we fit your driving course around your schedule.

How long are intensive driving courses?

It really depends on what works best for you, as well as how many hours of lessons you need. You could finish an intensive driving course in a few days or a week, or you could space out your lessons a little over a few weeks.

Are you guaranteed to pass on a crash course?

Nobody can guarantee that you pass a driving test. The DVSA runs driving tests in the UK, and they hire examiners who decide whether you've passed or failed. Examiners can't be influenced, so it all depends on how you perform on the day. A company offering a guaranteed pass is usually being deceptive and there will be various clauses hidden in the terms and conditions.

What are the requirements to start taking driving lessons in the UK?

In the UK you need to be at least 17 years old and hold a valid provisional driving licence before you can learn to drive. You can apply for the provisional licence up to three months before your 17th birthday and then get booked in for your lessons.

We offer a wide range of intensive driving lessons designed to prepare you for any driving challenge you may face. Our DVSA-registered instructors are experts at navigating the various streets of the UK and will provide you with personalised lessons tailored to your individual needs. With our flexible scheduling, you can learn close to home and feel confident in your abilities. Our driving lessons are fast and flexible, allowing you to achieve your driving goals quickly.

Is 20 hours of driving lessons enough?

If you've not been behind the wheel before, 20 hours of lessons is unlikely to be sufficient to get you test ready. The DVSA state that on average a candidate who passes their test has taken 48 hours of professional lessons, as well as completed 20 hours of private practice. So a 20 hour course is only suitable for a learner who has already had at least 20 - 30 hours behind the wheel. Try our course recommender to understand what the best course is for you.

How many driving instructors do PassMeFast work with?

We have a team of over 5,000 friendly driving instructors who will fill your brain with the driving skills you need to pass your test fast. Whether you want to learn to drive in a manual or automatic car, you’re in the best hands possible.
