Finding the right person to teach you to drive can feel like an impossible task. It's difficult to know where to start. How do you find driving instructors, and how do you know they're the right person for you? What kind of things should you be thinking about?
The more you search, the more questions you'll probably have. PassMeFast aims to take the stress out of learning to drive, so here's a quick guide on how to find the best driving instructors in Eastbourne.
So where do you begin finding a driving instructor? In the past, you might have had to rely on the yellow pages or ads in newspapers. Thankfully, those days are long behind us and it's much easier to find what you're looking for.
A quick Google search of "driving instructors in Eastbourne" should bring up a list of loads of options for you to look through. Some instructors and driving schools have websites, whereas some are just on social media sites like Facebook.
Alternatively, you can check the DVSA's list of Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs). Just enter your postcode and you'll see a list of driving instructors nearby. It's important to remember that not every driving instructor is on this list, so you probably don't want to rely entirely on this method
Some driving instructors don't rely on the power of the internet to bring them business, and don't have any kind of online presence. Ask your friends and family who taught them to drive and see if they can put you in touch. If someone you know had a positive experience, you probably will too.
If you're thinking of learning to drive in an automatic, it's obviously important that the driving instructor you choose has an automatic car. Trust us — plenty of instructors have had a student get in the car and not realise they've booked a lesson with a manual instructor. Oops!
You might have heard horror stories about how automatic instructors are either impossible to find, or they charge an arm and a leg for lessons.
That used to be the case in the past. Automatic driving instructors were few and far between, and since they were in high demand, they had higher rates.
Luckily, automatic instructors are much more common these days. You shouldn't have much trouble finding an automatic driving instructor in Eastbourne, and their rates won't be much different to those of a manual instructor.
When you find an instructor, make sure to have a look at their website or social media to make sure they offer automatic lessons. If in doubt, a quick phone call or text clear that up for you.
It's understandable that some people would prefer to learn to drive with a female instructor. This could be because of religious reasons, or simply because you feel more comfortable and relaxed with women.
There are plenty of female driving instructors in Eastbourne, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find somebody you get along with.
You can try searching "female driving instructors in Eastbourne", or just looking through the list of DVSA-approved instructors for any female names. Unfortunately, you're not able to filter by gender on the site so it might be a bit of a manual process.
