“I just recently passed my practical driving test with only two minors thanks to the help of my instructor Arun Sanghani. When I first started my lessons with Arun I had very low confidence on the roads and often feared meeting situations as I always felt that I was about to hit the cars around. Through his teaching methods, reference points and explanations my confidence grew massively every lesson. The most important skill I learned and will continue to develop moving on is the forward planning driving style that Arun taught me. Now I always looked ahead in the road to make assessments in good time to allow myself more than enough time to react to it and make the correct decisions. I highly recommend Arun as an instructor for anyone who wants to pass and drive the right way.”

“Than is the best driving instructor I’ve had. I felt really comfortable with him from day one. He’s very professional, never raised his voice, and helped me stay calm even when I made mistakes. I really appreciated his patience and positive attitude.”

The Hidden Cost of UK Driving Test Delays

The Hidden Cost of UK Driving Test Delays

Learning to drive is already a costly milestone, but long delays at test centres are quietly pushing those costs even higher. With wait times blowing out across the country, many learners are paying far more than they planned — from extra lessons needed just to stay test-ready, to booking new tests after failed attempts, to taking additional time off work to secure a slot. Because of this, EzLicence set out to uncover where in the UK learners are being hit hardest financially, and identify the areas where long test delays are driving up costs the most.

The Most Googled Highway Codes In The UK

Even after passing the driving test, many of us still turn to Google to make sense of the Highway Codes. From drivers wondering if it’s acceptable to drive in flip-flops to asking if they can drive with a cracked window screen, some road rules remain confusing.    To uncover the most common sources of confusion, our team at EzLicence analysed UK search data to reveal the top ten most Googled Highway Code questions.

About EzLicence

Driving Lessons, Your Way.

We understand that getting your driver's licence is both exciting and daunting. That's why we built EzLicence: a platform that strips out every unnecessary step between a learner who wants lessons and an accredited instructor who can teach them. No call centres. No multi-day wait for a reply. No "let me check with the office and call you back."

You open the site, enter your postcode, and instantly see every accredited instructor operating in your area, with real prices, real reviews, and real-time availability. You book the time that works for you, pay on a card, and get an SMS confirmation within seconds. That's the whole thing.

Since 2023, we've connected learners across the UK with independent, accredited driving instructors. We're not a driving school. We're a booking platform that makes the match, processes the payment, and handles the support so you and your instructor can focus on one thing: getting you ready to drive.

How Do I Find Private Driving Instructors Near Me?

Start with the search bar at the top of this page. Enter your suburb or postcode, pick auto or manual, and optionally select a date if you've already got a driving test booked. Within seconds you'll see a ranked list of every instructor who covers your pickup address, each with their rating, price per lesson, car details, and the next time they're available.

You can filter by transmission, by rating, by price, or by availability window. Click through to each instructor's profile to read their full bio, see their car photos, and browse the real reviews left by learners they've taught. When you're ready, pick a time and book. Payment is taken when you book, and credited back instantly if you cancel 24+ hours ahead.

Driving Instructors You Can Rely On.

Every instructor on EzLicence holds a DVSA accreditation and a DBS check. We check every single one before we let them list on the platform, and we re-check credentials on an ongoing basis. You don't have to verify anyone yourself. We've already done it.

Every car used for a lesson is insured, dual-controlled (so your instructor has brake and sometimes clutch access from the passenger seat), and regularly inspected. Before you book, you'll see the make, model, and transmission of the car you'll be driving, with no surprises on the day. If anything about your booking doesn't match what was advertised, our London-based support team is one message away.

Whether You're 17 or 60, New to the UK or Brushing Up.

EzLicence instructors teach absolute beginners, test-ready learners, international drivers converting their licence to a UK one, refreshers returning to the road after years off, and nervous drivers who need a calm, patient first experience. Whatever stage you're at, there's an instructor on this platform who does it all the time.

You're one search away from your first lesson. Jump back to the top, enter your postcode, and see who's available near you.
