What is the cheapest way to learn to drive?
When it comes to learning to drive there are two main ways of learning this being through having lessons every week or doing an intensive driving course. Both have their pros and cons, but the pros of doing an intensive course are that it is the most cost-effective solution and the fastest way to get behind the wheel!
When it comes to doing an intensive driving course in Peterborough with GoGoGo it will cost you £1525* or £149.96* per month. We understand that lots of our learners are students and could struggle with one large upfront fee.
*Prices accurate at the time of writing this blog (29/10/2024)
Included at this price is the costs of both the practical and theory tests, something that is especially expensive when doing weekly lessons. This is because you are likely to want to have a lesson before your test and then have to pay your instructor for the use of their car while you do the test. As well as paying for the test itself, with all of these costs the price of sitting a test soon mounts up for those learning every week.
Although this might sound like lots of money when compared to the alternative it is considerably cheaper. This is because weekly lessons can go on for months and in some cases even years this means that the amount you pay for them in the long run is often more.
Why Do an Intensive Driving Course?
Other than the fact an intensive course is a cheaper option it has a few other main benefits, these include:
Faster Progression
Again in comparison to traditional lessons, you will progress much faster. This is because you are dedicating 5 days solely to learning and practising driving. Rather than having them spread out over a longer period of time which limits the rate of progression you can make as you only have 1-2 hours a week of driving.
And therefore faster progression lends itself to you saving money as you don’t require to have as many lessons with an instructor to obtain the skills to pass a practical exam.
Enhanced Retention and Confidence
By immersing yourself in an intensive driving course you will be able to increase your retention of skills and knowledge. The daily practice and instruction allows our students to develop confidence behind the wheel and get to grips with driving concepts.

We make sure that all the students who learn with us are ready for the real test. We do this by having a mock test on the Friday of the 5-day course.
