Pass Packages vs Pay As You Go Driving Lessons

Many companies are now offering guaranteed 'pass packages', but are you really better off with one of these? They aren't always as good as they first sound and the deeper you dive into how they work, the worse the idea becomes!

Reading into how the package works you will find you only get so many hours of driving tuition, and this is probably too little to be safe on the road if the price of the pass package seems cheap. If it looks too good to be true it probably is! The average person needs a minimum of 60 hours on the road before they are experience enough to drive independently. We would recommend 60-70 hours on the road to be a safe driver, whether this be done whilst on your driving lessons Leeds or private driving with an experienced driver.

When people say they passed their test with only 5 driving lessons, they certainly don't mean they only had 5 hours on the road. Some decide to drive independently outside their driving tuition, and this is very much encouraged by every driving instructor. However people who cut corners and take less driving lessons with a professional in Leeds are usually not as safe drivers and what they save in the cost of lessons they pay out in excess and insurance premiums!

The most popular way to pay for driving lessons in Leeds is still pay as you go. Make sure that if you do buy any sort of package deal that you add up the cost of everything you are getting and make sure you get some kind of discount for what you would pay for it all separately.

The reason we don’t recommend these types of packages is because you can usually end up paying either too little or too less and there is no extra benefit to taking one. In addition to this you and the instructor will feel like you are restricted to a time limit which will cause extra, unnecessary pressure. Everyone learns at different speeds and cutting corners to save time is not acceptable as you need to be as safe as possible on the roads, not just pass your driving test.

Every learner is different and it is very difficult to place a number on the average amount of driving lessons Leeds a pupil will need as the range is from 10 hours to 100 hours plus. Placing a 40 hour average on this just isn’t accurate enough and this is why pay as you go driving lessons are more suited to every learner driver.
