Driving school price comparison

The price comparison is ranked according to:

1) Google Review stars on a search on 10/01/2020: "Orpington Driving School"

2) the cheapest £/hour for 'pay as you go' driving lessons and for a 10 hour block booking discount

Only 6/29 driving schools are completely transparent in their charges, and 12/29 not showing any prices at all on their website! 7/29 driving schools have no website

    This data is a good measure of which driving schools offer you best value for money, but that is not the full story:

Larger driving schools make their money selling franchises to driving instructors. The more franchises they sell, the more money they earn. Companies like Red teach driving instructors and will give a franchise to any instructor who qualifies irrespective of how good they are. They will spend more money on advertising then most independent schools earn!

Smaller independent driving schools rely on their reputation to get business and are therefore under far more pressure to get results for their clients

Larger companies are often good at getting business then keeping clients paying for more driving lesson hours and unsuccessful driving tests

Alpha1 Driving School average to successful test: 28.6 hrs

National average to successful test: 47.1 hrs

Alpha 1 Driving School Pass Rate 96.8%

National Pass Rate 45.8%

Alpha 1 Driving School average driving tests to pass: 1.001

National average driving tests to pass: 3.1
