Who the lesson is with

Lessons are with Yellow Driving School, also called YDS & Desi Driving School. Call or WhatsApp 020 3617 1505. Booking a lesson means you agree to these terms.

Price

The usual rate in Greenford, Southall, Hayes, Yeading, Northolt and Pinner is £38 an hour for manual and £40 an hour for automatic, unless another rate has been agreed. A usual lesson is 1.5 hours. A 2 hour lesson can be booked. If the pickup takes longer, including Ealing, Uxbridge or anywhere further out, a small extra may be added. The price is always confirmed by message before the lesson goes ahead. The price covers the tuition and the agreed pickup. The official driving test fee is paid by the pupil to the DVSA. It is not included.

Payment

Pay before the lesson starts.

Licence

Bring your UK provisional driving licence to the first lesson. We check it before you drive. We may keep a copy of it until it is no longer needed.

The lesson

Lessons are in a dual-control car. Follow the instructor’s directions. Lessons can be in English, Punjabi, Hindi or Urdu where that was agreed. A lesson is not a promise that the pupil will pass.

Late or not ready

The instructor waits 15 minutes past the booked time. After that the lesson can be cancelled and still charged. Time lost at the start comes out of the lesson. Do not arrive unfit to drive, including through alcohol, drugs or medication that affects driving. The instructor can end the lesson and the booked time can still be charged.

Our timing

We will always try to arrive at the agreed time. We may be delayed by a previous lesson, traffic, a puncture, a test running late or an emergency. We will tell you. Any time lost is given in that lesson or added to the next one.

Cancellation

Give at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or move a lesson. Inside 24 hours, the lesson is charged. If the instructor cancels, the pupil is not charged and is offered another time.

The test

The pupil books their own driving test. The car and instructor for the test are charged separately, at the rate agreed with the instructor, and payment is due 3 days before the test. Do not book a test and assume the car is free.
