Learn to Drive with Drive It School of Motoring
Looking for driving lessons in Taunton?
Drive It School of Motoring provides professional manual and automatic driving lessons across Taunton and the surrounding area, with male and female instructors and lessons designed around you.
Whether you're getting behind the wheel for the very first time, returning to driving after a break, looking for a new instructor or want to progress more quickly with a semi-intensive or intensive course, we're here to help.
Our approach is simple:
Learn to drive - not just pass a test.
We use client-centred coaching, which means your lessons are built around your individual ability, confidence and progress rather than following the same lesson plan for every learner.
Manual & Automatic Driving Lessons in Taunton
Drive It offers both manual and automatic driving lessons in Taunton.
Not sure which is right for you? That's fine.
Manual lessons give you the opportunity to gain a manual driving licence, while automatic lessons remove the need to manage a clutch and change gears, allowing some learners to concentrate more easily on the road and their decision-making.
Whichever you choose, you'll receive the same Drive It approach - professional, supportive tuition designed to help you become a safe and confident driver.
And with Drive It, you won't pay more simply because you choose automatic.
-
One Price For All. Forever.
-
Manual or automatic.
-
Daytime, evening or weekend.
-
Home, work or college pick-up.
-
No postcode lottery and no short-term introductory price that suddenly disappears.
Driving Lessons Designed Around You
Everyone learns differently - so why should everyone be taught in exactly the same way?
At Drive It, we believe good driving tuition should be client-centred.
Your instructor will work with you to identify your strengths, the areas that need development and what you need to work on next.
You'll be encouraged to understand situations, make decisions and develop the skills needed for independent driving - not simply memorise a collection of test routes.
That's the Drive It Difference.
Weekly, Semi-Intensive & Intensive Driving Courses in Taunton
You don't have to learn at the same pace as everybody else.
Drive It offers:
-
Regular weekly driving lessons
-
Semi-intensive driving lessons
-
Intensive driving courses
-
5-day intensive courses
-
Refresher and confidence-building lessons
The best option depends on your experience, availability, confidence and how quickly you want to progress.
We'll help you find an approach that works for you rather than simply selling you a package of hours you may not need.
Learn Around Taunton - Not Just Test Routes
Learning to drive should prepare you for driving independently after you've passed your test.
Driving lessons in Taunton can provide experience of busy town-centre traffic, residential roads, roundabouts, dual carriageways, rural roads and higher-speed routes.
As your ability develops, your instructor can introduce increasingly challenging situations so you gain experience dealing with different road and traffic conditions.
The aim isn't to teach you to memorise a driving-test route.
It's to give you the skills and confidence to deal safely with whatever road comes next.
More Than Just a Driving Lesson
When you learn with Drive It, you're supported by more than the instructor sitting beside you.
Drive It learners also have access to the Drive It PRO learner app, helping you keep your learning organised in one place.
Depending on the features available to your account, you can use the app to manage lessons, monitor your driving syllabus and progress, keep track of theory and practical tests, access learning resources, make payments and communicate with your instructor.
It's another part of making learning to drive simpler.
Your Second Test Is On Us
We want our learners going to their driving test because they're ready - not simply because they've managed to get a test appointment.
That's why we focus on developing the skills needed to drive safely and independently.
And we're prepared to stand behind our training.
Don't pass first time? Your second test is on us, subject to our guarantee terms.
It's all part of the Drive It Difference.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driving Lessons in Taunton
Where can I get affordable driving lessons in Taunton?
Drive It School of Motoring offers driving lessons in Taunton with straightforward pricing and no extra charge simply for choosing manual or automatic tuition, an evening or weekend lesson, or an eligible home, work or college pick-up.
When comparing driving lesson prices in Taunton, it's worth considering more than the hourly rate. Look at the quality of tuition, how your progress is monitored, the support provided between lessons and whether lessons are genuinely tailored to your needs.
Our aim is to help you make meaningful progress and become a safe, independent driver.
How much are driving lessons in Taunton?
Driving instructors set their own lesson prices, so costs can vary between driving schools and instructors.
Drive It believes in simple, transparent pricing through our One Price For All. Forever. approach.
You'll pay the same standard lesson rate whether you choose manual or automatic tuition and we don't increase the price simply because you want an evening or weekend lesson.
For our latest Taunton driving lesson prices and packages, check our current prices or contact the Drive It Admin Team.
Can I learn to drive an automatic car in Taunton?
Yes. Drive It offers automatic driving lessons in Taunton as well as manual tuition.
Automatic lessons can be particularly attractive to learners who don't want to manage clutch control and gear changes, although choosing between manual and automatic is a personal decision.
Our team can help you decide which option may suit you best.
Can I take manual driving lessons in Taunton?
Yes. Drive It has manual driving instructors providing lessons in Taunton and the surrounding area.
Learning in a manual car gives you the opportunity to obtain a manual driving licence, which also allows you to drive automatic cars.
Are evening and weekend driving lessons available in Taunton?
Yes, subject to instructor availability.
Drive It instructors offer a range of weekday, evening and weekend lesson times in Taunton.
And we don't charge a higher lesson rate simply because your lesson is in the evening or at the weekend.
Can my driving instructor collect me from home, work or college in Taunton?
Yes, where practical and agreed with your instructor.
Many learners need their driving lessons to fit around school, college, university or work, so lessons don't necessarily need to start and finish at home.
Depending on location and timing, your lesson may be able to start or finish at home, work or college in Taunton.
Speak to the Drive It team when booking and we'll discuss what's possible.
How do I choose a good driving instructor in Taunton?
Look for an instructor who is professional and reliable, adapts their teaching to the way you learn, keeps you informed about your progress and focuses on developing you into a safe driver rather than simply getting you through the driving test.
Anyone charging for car driving tuition must legally be either a registered Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) or a licensed trainee driving instructor.
At Drive It, we believe the relationship between learner and instructor matters. Our client-centred approach means tuition is adapted to your ability, confidence and learning needs.
Are Drive It instructors DVSA approved?
Drive It works with qualified Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) and may also have licensed trainee driving instructors (PDIs) completing the final stage of their professional qualification.
A qualified ADI displays a green DVSA badge, while a licensed trainee instructor displays a pink badge.
Both are legally permitted to provide paid driving tuition.
Do you offer intensive driving courses in Taunton?
Yes. Drive It offers intensive and semi-intensive driving courses in Taunton alongside traditional weekly lessons.
The number of hours you need depends on your existing experience, ability and progress. There is no single course length that's right for everybody.
If you've already had driving lessons elsewhere, we'll take your existing skills into account rather than assuming you need to start again.
How many driving lessons will I need before my test?
There is no fixed number of driving lessons that everybody must complete before taking a practical driving test.
How long it takes depends on factors including your previous experience, how frequently you drive, opportunities for private practice and how quickly you develop the necessary skills.
At Drive It, progress is based on your ability rather than simply counting the number of lessons you've completed.
Where is the driving test centre for Taunton?
Taunton has a DVSA practical driving test centre.
However, learning to drive with Drive It isn't about memorising Taunton test routes. Your lessons are designed to develop the skills required to deal safely and independently with different roads, situations and traffic conditions.
When you're approaching test standard, your instructor can help you prepare for the types of situations you may encounter during your practical driving test.
Can nervous learners have driving lessons with Drive It in Taunton?
Absolutely.
It's completely normal to feel nervous about learning to drive, particularly during your first few lessons or if you've previously had an experience that affected your confidence.
Our client-centred approach means lessons can progress at a pace appropriate to you. Your instructor can gradually introduce new situations as your skills and confidence develop.
Can I change to Drive It if I've already started learning with another driving school?
Yes.
You don't need to be a complete beginner to start driving lessons with Drive It.
If you've already had lessons with another instructor or driving school, your Drive It instructor can assess where you are now and continue developing your skills from there.
Changing driving schools doesn't mean going back to the beginning.
