The average total cost to learn to drive and pass the practical driving test in the UK is roughly £1,500 to £2,500+, largely driven by rising lesson costs of £30-£40+ per hour. While official tests cost £85 for theory and practical (weekday), most learners require 40-45 hours of instruction.
Any other tips or trends?
If you pass your practical driving test at age 17 and go on to 70 years of age driving safely, the actual cost of the license becomes very small in comparison. Over the 53 years it works out less than £1.00 a week. That’s less than you would spend buying your favourite coffee.
