Booking options
How DriveBooked works in Chippenham
DriveBooked is a booking agent. We match you with an independent instructor; the instructor delivers and is paid for the tuition.
Automatic lessons in Chippenham
Choose automatic and your booking is only ever offered to verified independent instructors whose recorded transmission covers automatic tuition. Passing in an automatic car gives an automatic-only car licence — a DVSA rule, not ours.
Start an automatic bookingManual lessons in Chippenham
Choose manual and your booking is only offered to verified independent instructors whose recorded transmission covers manual tuition. A manual pass covers both manual and automatic cars.
Start a manual bookingHow the Chippenham instructor search works
DriveBooked is a national booking agent. You pay for an instructor search, not for a named instructor: the search begins once your fee is paid, and no instructor is reserved, held or guaranteed at the moment you pay.
Once your fee is paid we search our verified instructor network for an instructor who covers Chippenham and matches your transmission, availability and test requirements. We contact suitable instructors and driving schools, keep you updated at each stage, and tell you as soon as one accepts. Until an instructor accepts, nothing is reserved.
We do not claim to have an instructor attached to Chippenham today. This page exists because we run a national search: you can book from any Great Britain postcode, and we will look for an instructor who covers Chippenham once you do.
The 28-day search, and what you pay
We search for up to 28 days. If no suitable verified instructor has accepted and been introduced by the deadline, you choose: continue the search for another 28 days at no extra charge, or take a full refund of the DriveBooked fee. The search never extends automatically, and where your own test date makes 28 days impractical we show you the earlier deadline before you pay.
Two separate amounts. DriveBooked charges £49 to search for an instructor for hourly lessons, or £149 to search for and manage an intensive course. Tuition is £45 per hour, agreed with and paid directly to your independent instructor — it is never included in the amount DriveBooked charges. The DVSA test fee is separate again and is paid to the DVSA.
Manual or automatic
Choosing your gearbox in Chippenham
One page, both transmissions — your choice is carried straight into the booking form.
Choose manual if…
- You want one licence that covers manual and automatic cars.
- You may drive a work van, a hire car or a family car with a clutch.
- You are happy to spend some early lessons on clutch control.
Choose automatic if…
- You want to concentrate on road position, observation and hazards.
- Stop-start traffic or a medical reason makes a clutch difficult.
- You accept an automatic-only car licence, which is a DVSA rule rather than a DriveBooked one.
Either way, your booking is only offered to verified independent instructors whose recorded transmission matches your choice — and you can change your mind before an instructor accepts.

Yes — booking is postcode-led rather than town-led. The nearest areas we hold pages for are Trowbridge (about 11 miles), Bristol (about 15 miles), Swindon (about 15 miles), Avonmouth (about 23 miles). Distances are calculated from the coordinates we hold, and an instructor's own coverage decides what they will accept.
The DriveBooked fee (£49 for Find an Instructor, £149 for an intensive course) pays for arranging and managing your booking: matching you with a verified independent instructor, handling the booking record and supporting you through it. It is not a payment for tuition. Tuition is a separate contract between you and your instructor at £45 per hour.
