"Cheapest in London By Far"

Just passed my driving test! Failed first time with BSM was paying aroud £40per hour then found out there is no difference between instructors apart from branding. Was recommended to Want Driving Lessons by my cousin and couldnt believe the price difference - was expecting the service to reflect the prices but was astonished at the profesionalism of the instructors and the when booking. I had Bhavna as my driving instructor and she was amazing - she knew the test routes, we covered all the manovers and i was ready to take my test having 20 hours. I cant really fault her, there was a mixup of times for the first lesson but was just a simple confusion - apart from that i had no issues. i would say avoid the national driving schools stick to the local ones and you will be suprised at the savings and quality of tuition provided.

"Whilst it is indeed a very cheap, you pay for what you get"

Whilst it is indeed a very cheap service, it is clear that you pay for what you got, and so I got a terribly rude, impatient and self-centred. If you get an instructor by the name of Bhavna, for the love of God, and in the name of your sanity and confidence while learning to drive, just REQUEST AN INSTRUCTOR CHANGE. Do it. Trust me. Or you'll spend hours just listening to taunts, shouts, rebukes, insults, and a constant stream of 'what is wrong with you'. Trust me on this one. You do not want her to teach you how to drive.

"At first I was surprised at how cheap …"

At first I was surprised at how cheap the lessons were and gave them a call. It was extremely straight forward to get the lesson booked in and I received a confirmation text with the drivers details & lesson start time shortly after the call finished. I did also contacted the driver to ask a few questions before the lesson and the instructor was extremely helpful and polite.

On the day of the lesson I really enjoyed my lesson and I received some great feed back from my instructor. As I initially bought 5 lessons to start I straight away went ahead and booked another 10 with the same instructor.

I recommend want Driving lessons to all my friends and family!

"I wish I could give them negative star..."

I wish I could give them a negative star because their customer service is utterly a nightmare and the instructor is very unprofessional.
First off, I tried to have 5 hours trial lessons to see how was it but they charged me the price with 10 hours. I called them to have a refund but surprisingly refund is not one of their policies and I was forced to take the 10-hour lessons.

For the instructor (called Ahmed), he is late IN EVERY SINGLE time and often makes up excuses not to show up for the booked hours, such as sickness, car broken, forgot to show up, etc, which is very unprofessional.

After having 5 hours of lessons, he didn't even try to continue the remaining lessons by shutting me off by not replying my calls nor messages. I called the customer service and they did not help me much, only to arrange a call for me to negotiate with the instructor, which is supposedly their jobs!

I am appalled by this company and for those who want to book lessons with Want Driving Lessons, please AVOID. Nothing cheap comes good.

"Wish I could say 0"

Wish I could say 0. Made me wait 2 weeks for a lesson at 12 decided to ring them at 12.15 as the instructor was late. Turns out they don't cover that area and didn't bother to even inform me. Wasted 2 weeks of my time, had me waiting and ready on the day with no plans to show up or send a replacement. If I hadn't called I wouldn't of known. Stupid staff "sorry i'll cancel that" and then hangs up as if that has justified anything. No further efforts were made to provide a different driver. Unprofessional.

"Poor customer service"

Poor customer service.
They will take your money and will not turn up on time they were suppose to. When you called to find out the answer will be the class is cancelled without informing you. If you ask for refund of your money the answer will be "we cant refund you money because its not our policy".
I would strongly advise to stay away from them.

"I think they are the cheapest in London …"

I think they are the cheapest in London for qualified driving instructors. When looking online for my Daughters lessons i was concious about the price and quality. I had read some mixed reviews and was unsure at first. But i bit the bullet and booked with them. The staff are very friendly and dont force you to book. When i booked i got a confirmation text straight away. My daughter was booked with a female instructor who turned up and introduced herself to me and my wife. She went to the lesson and came back smiling and said she loved her lesson! Shes now on her 12th lesson, she has learnt alot and praises the instructor.

The driving company is very good - my neighbours have also now used them.

I would 100% recommend them to others - Prices are excellent and quality aswell!

"WORST DRIVING SCHOOL EVER"

The worst experience I have ever had with a driving company. I live in London and asked for a female but apparently there weren't any. I booked 10 lessons and the first instructor I had- hassan- was awful. He would stop off halfway during the lesson to go to the toilet, he did not speak english properly and had no clue what he was doing, he would just make me drive around whilst he ate food in the car for the whole hour. I then switched instructors to Darren who seemed fine at first but then halfway during my lessons with one day notice, he called me to say he was leaving the company and couldn't help me anymore. Furthermore, he would stand outside the car waiting for me smoking so his car smelt awful and he then refused to refund me the full amount of my lessons that i was owed because it wasn't his problem anymore. Dealing with the company was absolutely awful, they are rude and impolite and would not cooperate with my needs. I would avoid you stay away from this company and book with BSM or AA because it is not worth booking cheaper and saving a few pounds as i have learnt the hard way. Absolutely appalling.

"Best driving school I've been to."

Want driving lessons is the 3rd driving school I've been to and I wish I came to want driving lesson first time. The booking team were very polite and helpful. I've passed my driving test last week all thanks to my driving instructor who was caring and so helpful and very polite. I've been reading some of the reviews and ive seen comments saying the instructors was always late or would never turn up. My instructor was always on time and never changed my dates.

"My experience"

Want driving lessons is a really good driving school. I had a really calm driving instructor with the name of Ibrahim. He gave me clear instructions on how to deal with certain driving situations and taught me many rules of the road. He also corrected me on my mistakes and allowed me time to compose my self. Really good instructor and highly recommendable.
