Driving Lessons Sheffield Prices: The Breakdown

Understanding why your driving lessons Sheffield cost what they do is important; you don’t want to feel like you are paying too much for them. The average price for driving lessons in Sheffield and most of the north is around £20 per hour. This may look like your instructor is coming out on top but when you breakdown what he has to pay to take you on your lessons, it becomes much less of a bargain for him.

The first thing the instructor needs is a car, whether he rents or hires this it is still a pretty big sum of money, which they take from the £20 per hour, especially as most instructors use top of the range, new cars to give you the best experience possible. This is a big investment on their part to take you on your lessons.

Next they have to insure the car. Your instructor has to get insurance to cover both himself and the pupil who is in the car, as you can imagine this isn't cheap as insurance companies see pupils who are learning to drive as a very high risk, even with a professional in the car with them. They must get fully comprehensive insurance to make sure everyone involved is fully protected therefore they can’t cut costs down here neither!

They must then get dual controls fitted for both the safety of you and them. They can then take command of the car from the passenger’s side of the vehicle controlling your brake and clutch with the pedals they have fitted.

Car tax is another fee that they have to pay from the hourly fee you pay for your driving lessons in Sheffield. This is a mandatory thing and it can be a hefty figure depending on their vehicle tax group.

Then finally they have the fuel to take from this cost. On the average driving lesson you will travel around 25 miles, including the instructor getting to and from where you live. This is a lot of fuel and at least £4 of the price you pay for your driving lesson is used in fuel.

After breaking down what you pay for your driving lessons Sheffield you can now understand why they are charged at that price. The instructor probably doesn't even see half of the hourly rate you give them as this goes in costs they have to pay to take you on your driving lessons.
