Price List – Chelsea Driving School
Chelsea Driving School can guarantee that it does NOT provide the cheapest driving lessons in London. However there is a reason for this as we have seen many times the results of the false economy of when learner drivers have tried cheaper alternatives and then had to come to us for lessons that can actually get them through the driving test! Driving instruction is not a commodity and as with many things in life you get what you pay for. We are unashamedly more expensive on an hourly rate basis than some schools as we are confident that our standard of instruction is second to none and that therefore you will need fewer lessons!
By trying to save yourself a couple of pounds an hour at the outset will end up costing you more in the long run!
In addition our service levels are unmatched. You have enough to worry about when learning to drive without concerns about whether your instructor will show up at all or on time, whether you can understand what they are saying all the time, that their car is too old and may break down, that they don’t know the area etc etc etc – all complaints we have heard from pupils who have tried other cheaper schools before coming with us and seeing how driving instruction should be done!
We also insist, and would suggest that with whichever school you decide to take lessons with, that you have the first lesson as a single lesson so that you can meet the instructor and decide that they are someone that you can learn from and will enjoy spending many hours in a car with before booking a block of lessons up front – something other schools try and trick you into doing before you realise that you are not happy with your instructor but you have to persist with seeing them as you have paid for a number of lessons before you even met them!

We will pick you up and drop you off from any of the areas we cover for free.
