Driving lesson and intensive course pricing in Kent

Postcode areas covered by these pages: CT, DA, ME, TN. Booking is postcode-led, so any Kent postcode can start a booking.

How the Kent 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 Kent 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.

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.
