Learner drivers come in all shapes and sizes and so do their personalities and wallets. What is right for you might not be right for another.

So how to most people organise their driving lessons currently?

Most people organise their driving lessons by asking their friends who have learned to drive already. This is called a referral. Most driving instructors get half their income from giving driving lessons to their previous customers friends and family. This system is flawed as we are not all alike, we have different tastes and driving styles. You could learn in a BMW Mini and I could learn in a Corsa and then we both might be asked for a recommendation from a mutual friend. How will the mutual friend know who to drive with, we’re all different. Referrals are not a great system, its just that until recently it has been the only option available to some people.

What about the rest?

Until recently the people who do not have someone telling them who to get their driving lessons from can not compare driving lessons. Normally what would happen is the learner driver would look through the phone book and after scanning a number of advertisements pick up the phone. A few phone calls later and that person will know the price of a handful of instructors and have a little idea of what their instructor might be like.

This results in the person agreeing to learn to drive with someone, one on one and quite likely for 45+ hours. After a handful of phone calls, without having someone tell them who they aught to learn with, these people have no choice but to just pick and hope.

That is, until recently. Now with the dawn of the internet it is possible to compare driving lessons. This is great thing about being able to compare driving lessons and compare driving instructors is that you can know what they will be like before you drive – without having to ask anyone.

On Low Price Lessons, for instance, you can search the instructors in your local area by vehicle type. You could choose then and there to learn with someone who is young, drives a BMW Mini and is a reasonable price. You could book with an older and more experienced Grade 6 instructor and maybe pay a little more per hour. If you want you can order your results by reviews and not get a referral from just one or two people but dozens. This way the decision becomes the customer’s again and they will know that they are getting the best deal on their lessons as all the instructors are promising to offer their lowest price.

Why is this such a great thing? Well because you can now ask around and shop around without having to spend hours at it or have to spend money on the phone. If you like you can take your time and still save time as its all quicker and easier online.

So is it a good idea to compare instructors in your local area with Low Price Lessons? I’d certainly advise that when you are going to spend 45 hours with someone in one on one tuition that you go for the car you want, the person you want and the price you want. There is nothing worse for a pupil or an instructor to have to cancel half way through a course of lessons. This problem is easily avoidable and takes less time to do now that technology has finally been injected into the Driving Instructor industry.
