Interested in automatic intensive driving lessons in Hull?

With PassMeFast, you’re free to choose between taking lessons in a manual or an automatic car. The latter option is a good choice if you’re finding gear changes particularly frustrating—a common occurrence in a bustling city like Hull!

Be aware, though, that there are downsides, too: automatic cars aren’t necessarily easier to learn in, and they certainly aren’t a one-way ticket to a guaranteed pass. You’ll also be restricted to driving automatic cars after you pass, which can be more expensive. For a full debrief, check out our comparison of automatic vs manual cars.

Speaking of your test, have you heard that some companies make you wait around for months just to take your practical? Not with our driving school. We offer fast-track practical tests, helping you get on the road faster. You’ll learn alongside one of our highly qualified and experienced (and, of course, DVSA-approved) driving instructors, giving you a fantastic chance of passing.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Hull

It’s always a relief when you don’t have to travel far to pass your test—and, luckily for learners here, the Hull test centre is just a stone’s throw from the city centre. If you’re looking to take your lessons elsewhere in East Yorkshire, then the next best option is the Bridlington test centre.

Theory Test Centres in Hull

Don’t forget that you’ll need to take your theory test too! Though it receives less attention than the practical driving test, it’s just as important a step towards getting your licence, and you can’t take your practical without it. The Hull theory test centre is conveniently located within the city centre, and is a short seven-minute walk from Hull’s Paragon Interchange train station. Other alternative test centres close to Hull can be found in Driffield and Grimsby.

Haven't taken your theory test yet?

Need to take your theory? Add it to your course, and we’ll book it for you! Our team will then take care of fast-tracking your test at a local centre.

Driving in and around Hull

Most learners learning to drive in Hull will be taking their test at the local test centre in the north of the city. As such, you’ll be spending much of your time learning to drive in this area, which features several busy A roads, including the A1033 and A1079. You’ll also encounter plenty of major roundabouts here, as well as various types of road junctions. Most tests will also include a mix of residential and rural roads, so ensure that you’re aware of the different types of pedestrian crossing, and are prepared for whatever your examiner will throw at you.

Driving Instructors in Hull

Most learners find driving instructors in Hull 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.

Driving Schools in Hull

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 East Yorkshire 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.

Can I pass my driving test with 10 hours of practice?

It's extremely unlikely that you'd pass your driving test with only 10 hours of practice. This simply isn't enough time to learn all of the skills you'll need during your test.

You won't be perfect at everything right away, so you'll need to give yourself some time to improve your skills and grow more confident.

The DVSA recommends around 45 hours of professional driving lessons, along with 22 hours of private practice with a friend or family member.

Which Areas Does PassMeFast Cover?

Driving lessons with PassMeFast are available across a wide area, including the whole of Yorkshire. If you’re in our coverage area, you could be on the road within a matter of weeks! Other nearby areas we cover include:
