The driving school market is extremely competitive in the UK, demand is very high but of course the market is saturated with approved driving instructors due to the massive amount of franchising that goes on. This means the market is ultra competitive and because of this there some great deals available if you’re willing to search for them.
Of course there directories both online and offline that can help in this respect, both by vetting the best driving schools in each area, as well checking out individual driving instructors and providing comparisons of the service rendered along with an idea of their unique attributes.
Of course finding the school is just the first step, and ultimately in this climate, choice often comes back to cost, so choice of school would go hand in hand with the driving lessons package that you find. Although most new business in this market is secured through personal recommendations and word of mouth referrals.
Finding good deals is possible because of the competition, but many of these deals come with strict terms and conditions, for example for a discount package to work the driving instructor would have to provide the lessons on a block basis to cut down on travelling time and cost between lessons, so you can expect to have driving lessons of 3 hours duration often at non peak times in the driving schools calendar schedule.
