Intensive Driving Courses in Abingdon
For too many people, learning to drive can be a frustrating process. From false promises of a guaranteed pass through to endless delays, it’s little wonder that many learners get discouraged. Thankfully, there is a way for learners right here in Abingdon to get their licence within weeks: PassMeFast. Our driving school has the experience to help you pass your test fast. Read on to see how you can book an intensive driving course with us in Abingdon, Didcot, Wantage and beyond!
Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Abingdon
Not sure what makes PassMeFast the best choice for a crash course or driving lessons in Abingdon? Unlike others, we put you in control. The starting point to this is our range of courses, with options available for beginners, test-ready candidates and everyone in between. You can also choose to take lessons in manual or automatic transmission, with the option to add theory and practical tests onto your course.
Once you’ve booked, we’ll match you up with a DVSA-registered driving instructor covering your area. You’ll liaise with them to create a lesson plan tailored to your needs and fitting around your schedule. You can also decide exactly how intensive you want your course to be, in terms of both lesson length and scheduling. A 25 hour course, for example, could be taken in a highly intensive 5 day window, or spread out over a few weeks.
Finding it difficult to get to grips with clutch control? Can’t stand the thought of one more dreaded gear change? If you’ve fallen out of love with manual cars, then an automatic course could be just what it takes to rekindle your passion for driving. Select automatic transmission when you book in, and we’ll match you up to a suitable local instructor.
While you’re out on the road, learning everything from perfect steering through to the manoeuvres that feature in the driving test, the team back at the PassMeFast office will be busy sorting out all the admin for your course. This includes fast-tracking your practical test to help you beat the waiting times!
There’s a reason so many learners come to PassMeFast each year: our courses work.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Abingdon
Not sure where you’ll be heading at the end of your intensive lessons? When it comes to the practical test, the Oxford Cowley test centre is the easiest option for learners in the Abingdon area. If you’re in need of an alternative, look south towards the Newbury Hambridge Lane test centre.
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.
Theory Test Centres in Abingdon
From stopping distances to road signs, your theory test will cover a lot of ground. But where will you need to take this test? Abingdon doesn’t have its own test centre, meaning that the nearby Oxford theory test centre is by far the closest choice for those living in the vicinity. Other options include Reading, Andover and Aylesbury.
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.

However, it’s not just the roads around Abingdon that you’ll need to get to know — with your test likely to take place in Oxford’s Cowley test centre, you’ll also need to spend some of your lessons familiarising yourself with this area.

Intensive driving course options and features
Driving Schools in Abingdon
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 Oxfordshire 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.
Driving Instructors in Abingdon
Most learners find driving instructors in Abingdon 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!
