compared to the UK average — and that's before hidden booking fees
UK avg based on 45hrs at £38/hr national average (Brumble, 2026). CP Driving based on 40hrs at £38/hr block rate. Both include provisional licence, theory test, and weekday practical test. Individual results vary.
What the national chains do — that we don't
- Hidden £3–10 booking fees added at checkout
- Block credits that expire in 3–6 months
- A different instructor most lessons
- 48-hour cancellation notice — or a full charge
- Drip pricing that quietly creeps up
CP Driving: none of it. The price you see is the price you pay.
