There are quite a few different costs involved in learning to drive – you have to pay for lessons, your practical and theory tests, learner driver insurance (for when you practice outside of your lessons), and your provisional licence. 44 hours of driving lessons with an instructor costs on average between £1,188 and £1,540. Theory tests cost £23. Practical driving tests cost £62 on a weekday and £75 on a weekend or bank holiday. A provisional licence costs £34 if you get it online or £43 by post. How much it costs to get insured to practice outside your lessons varies a lot depending on which insurance route you take. Getting added to a parent’s policy costs £2,253.37 on average. Getting your own temporary learner driver insurance for the recommended 20 hours costs about £252.80 (that’s £12.64 an hour). Depending on all of the above – it could cost you around £1,559.80 to £3,934.37 to learn to drive.
