5 ways to save money when learning how to drive

Learning how to drive is very expensive, from getting your provisional driving licence to receiving your full driving licence after passing your driving test. Making sure you save money where you can is very important and this is why this information may be of interest to you.

1. The first way of saving money when learning how to drive is trying to find good driving instructors in Leeds. Many think that trying to find the cheapest instructor is the best way to save money, but in actual fact it's not. The baseline price for a driving instructor is around £20 per hour and if you're getting them a lot cheaper then you should ask yourself if your instructor is DSA registered. It will take you less time to learn with a professional and therefore save you money in the long run.
2. Another great way of saving money when learning to drive is trying to get a driving school who have an introductory offer that give pupils their first few lessons at hugely discounted rate. Most offer this to compete with other schools so use it to your advantage, however it's normally only for complete novice pupils and therefore you're wasting your time trying to get this offer from every school in your area. In addition to this you will have to keep swapping and changing instructors which isn't good when learning.
3. Another good way of saving money is block booking with your driving instructors Leeds. Usually discounts are offered for block booking although this may not save you hundreds, it all adds up at the end! However some people don't like to hand money over before they have the driving tuition.
4. Only go in for your theory test when you have revised and you're ready! Wasting money on a theory test is something that can be avoided with just a bit of preparation. Don't waste your money on re-sitting your driving theory over and over again; just get it right the first time!
5. Only book your driving test when your driving instructor thinks you're ready. In addition to this try and book your driving test during the week as on a weekend the tests become more expensive. Although some aren't able to do this it's a good way to save a few quid.

Being prepared and doing your research is fundamental to saving money when learning to drive. Knowing where you can save that little extra will go a long way when on your way to gaining your driving licence!
