Whether you’re in Lyndhurst or Lymington, Brockenhurst or Burley, New Milton or Milford-on-Sea, PassMeFast can help you to get your licence in just a few days here in the New Forest. Read on for the full scoop on what makes our driving school different, and see how thousands of learners have already got their licence thanks to our intensive driving courses.
When looking online to book driving lessons, you’re likely to be bombarded with tempting offers, from a “guaranteed pass” to a “5 day course”. The reality is that many of these come with huge caveats, meaning you often end up paying over the odds for services that can’t be delivered. That’s why it’s important to invest in a driving school that puts its effort into things that really can help you to pass faster.
So, why is PassMeFast different? It’s simple: rather than offering gimmicks, we focus on our learners’ needs. This includes partnering with some of the best instructors in the local area, as well as taking the admin out of your hands, so you can focus on the driving. We’ll even fast-track your driving test, allowing you to get your licence well ahead of the usual waiting times.
PassMeFast offers automatic courses here in the New Forest, meaning that you can get an auto licence fast. Select automatic transmission when booking in, and we’ll get things sorted for you.
Unlike some driving schools, we don’t simply offer a single course. Instead, we have a number of intensive driving courses, with options for learners of any experience level. You can even get a personalised quote by heading to our course recommender. And we don’t stop there: once you’ve booked in, you control the pace of your lessons, working with your instructor to create a timetable that suits you.
With our flexible approach, it’s no wonder that intensive courses are more popular than ever. Join the thousands who’ve already taken our courses and said those magic words: “I’ve passed!”.

Not sure where your closest practical test centre is? If you live in the New Forest, you’ll need to travel outside of the area to take your test. Southampton’s two test centres—Maybush and Forest Hills—are the nearest, with Lee-on-the-Solent proving a useful alternative.
And did you know almost 9 in 10 people pass their driving test in the first three attempts? That’s why we’ve introduced PassProtect — giving you three attempts for the price of one.
As is the case with the practical, the New Forest doesn’t have any theory test centres of its own. The nearest option for local learners is the Southampton theory test centre. If you’re looking to increase your chances of an early test date, you may wish to consider alternatives in Bournemouth and Andover.
PassMeTheory is an online theory revision session, where we go over the most difficult areas of the test. 9 out of 10 people said they felt more confident about their test after their session.
Passing your theory test means you’re over one crucial hurdle, and means you won’t face further delays in booking your practical. Add a theory test onto your course, and we’ll book it in for you at a suitable date. For more information, visit the PassMeFast resources section, which has useful articles covering topics such as how long it takes to study for the theory test.
The lessons you take with your PassMeFast instructor will cover a vast array of driving knowledge, from understanding when you have priority to using the Mirror–Signal–Manoeuvre procedure regularly. Such skills will come in handy on any road across the country. However, to ensure you’re feeling ready on test day itself, there will also be a particular focus on the area surrounding your test centre.
As a result, learners hailing from the New Forest are likely to split their lesson time between the local area and the location of their test centre, which is likely to be in Southampton. This will provide an insight into the differences between city and country driving, and help to ensure that you’ll be a well-rounded driver by the time your test comes about.
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 Hampshire 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.
Most learners find driving instructors in the New Forest 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!
Need a driving instructor in the New Forest? PassMeFast do the hard work of matching you with an instructor that suits your availability. We have 150 driving instructors in and around Hampshire who’ll work around your schedule and help you get on the road in a flash.
Wondering how fast you can pass? Our flexible but intensive driving courses mean you learn efficiently and boost your chances of passing ASAP. Instead of making you wait for ages for a test after your lessons, we fast-track your test before assigning an expert driving instructor to teach you. This goal-focused structure ensures your driving skills are fresh in your mind for your test so you’re more likely to pass.

There are lots of factors that can influence a pass rate, such as the number of tests taken in the area. Whether or not you pass simply depends on how you perform on the day.
