According to the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), the average learner who passed their driver’s test in the UK took 40 hours or more of driving lessons. This is in addition to many hours of solo practice, with many driving schools additionally advising students to practice driving in between sessions. The average driving lesson in the UK can cost anything from around £23 per lesson, but if you don’t buy in bulk, it can even be a few quid more. Based on an average of 40 hours of driving lessons required to pass the test, the average cost of learning to drive can, therefore, add up to £920 or more.

“However, the actual driving lessons costs may vary greatly depending on where you live. This is due to the fact that driving instructors are allowed to charge whatever fee they want for a driving lesson, which means that your location may influence how much you will have to pay in the end,” explained Sam, the co-founder of Otimo.

“Therefore, it is very important for you to find the right instructor – one that offers value for money, and this is where Otimo comes in. We filter through thousands of driving instructors across England on our database, to find the best match for you, so you don't waste your time or money paying for more driving lessons than necessary,” he added.

Whether you have never driven a car before or are a seasoned driver, and whether you drive a manual or an automatic vehicle, the Otimo mobile App can help you improve your driving skills and better your chances of passing your driver’s test. It will also, thanks to its extensive database, match you with the right driving instructor in your area, and it offers a selection of intense courses ranging from 10 to 40 hours. You can also use the App to schedule as many driving hours as you need, even if you only want to build more confidence behind the wheel or looking to brush up on your driving skills.

Another significant expense, particularly for younger drivers, is insurance, which continues to rise every year. Otimo, on the other hand, has collaborated with MyFirstUK to offer competitive and affordable insurance that range from learner driver insurance to first-time driver insurance.

If you wish to advance your already natural driving skills, Otimo's intensive driving courses will allow you to train at a rapid pace, and everything you learn during the course will benefit you when taking the test, but the App was designed with all drivers in mind and covers all major cities and surrounding areas in Northwest England.

All the information you need about Otimo and how it works is explained in detail on its website, but should you require further information, you can also reach out to them by phone or email.
