Affordable Driving Lessons in Barry ➤ Prices & Block Booking Deals

We offer professional lessons at competitive prices with exceptional value for money. Discounts are available for university/college students and for those in post-16 education (saving £0.50 p/hr). Further discounts are available for Block Payments (saving £1.00 p/hr), and we have an Introductory Offer for all people new to the school. Our lowest rates are available for Barry, Penarth and the Vale - in Cardiff the rates are slightly higher, as indicated below. We frequently run special offers with substantial discounts, and we also offer bespoke packages for a one-off all inclusive payment at a negotiable price rather than charging at an hourly rate. So it's always worth contacting us to get a quote. We're not the cheapest in town for sure, and you won't find us on any daily discount sites, but please be aware that buying cheap often means that you buy twice.
