Useful answers before you book
Find practical information about lessons, prices and booking arrangements. If your question is not covered, call or WhatsApp the school.
What areas do you cover?
Fleetville is based in St Albans and offers tuition in surrounding areas. Send your postcode so we can confirm coverage, pick-up arrangements and instructor availability.
Do you offer manual and automatic lessons?
Yes. Manual and automatic tuition are both offered, in cars fitted with dual controls. Let us know your preference when you enquire so we can check the appropriate instructor.
How much are driving lessons?
Manual and automatic weekday lessons cost £42 per hour. A six-hour weekday block costs £240. Weekend lessons cost £45 per hour with no discount. Confirm availability before booking.
How long is a lesson?
Session length depends on the lesson type and the available instructor. Ask us to confirm the options before booking. The existing site lists different durations for regular lessons and intensive tuition.
What happens during my first lesson?
Your instructor checks your provisional licence, explains the controls and helps you settle into the car. You will start at a level suited to your experience and confidence.
How many lessons will I need?
There is no fixed number that suits everyone. Previous experience, confidence, regular practice and how your skills develop all affect the tuition you need. Your instructor will discuss your progress.
Can I learn before passing my theory test?
You can usually begin lessons with a valid provisional licence once you meet the legal requirements for learning to drive. You need a theory test pass before you can book your practical test. Check the official learning-to-drive guidance for your circumstances.
Do you offer intensive courses?
Yes. Beginner, intermediate and test preparation options are offered, subject to availability. Your instructor will discuss a realistic schedule and the tuition you need.
Can you help with theory preparation?
Fleetville offers theory support, including study resources, practice questions and guidance from your instructor. You can also use the official resources linked on this site.
Do you offer Pass Plus?
Yes. Our published information lists a six-hour Pass Plus programme at £300, subject to availability. It covers post-test driving situations and continuous assessment rather than a final exam.
What is the cancellation policy?
The published policy requires at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or rearrange a lesson or test booking. Shorter notice may result in the full charge. Confirm the current terms with your instructor.
How do I pay?
Confirm instructor availability first. Payments and receipts should be arranged directly with your allocated instructor. Our published information lists bank transfer, card and cash; check the available method before paying.
Can I use the instructor’s car for my test?
This is subject to your instructor confirming that you have reached the required standard. The £120 test-day package includes a one-hour pre-test warm-up lesson, an insured tuition car for the practical test and use of the car during the test. Ask your instructor to confirm any separate DVSA booking fee.
