Drive Genics Frequently Asked Questions

For Learner Drivers

The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) states that on average, it takes around 45 hours of professional tuition combined with 22 hours of private practice to pass. However, everyone learns at their own pace. Your Drive Genics instructor will track your progress visually so you know exactly when you are test-ready.

We operate a strict 48-hour cancellation policy. If you need to rearrange or cancel a lesson, please give your instructor at least 48 hours’ notice, or the full lesson fee may still apply. This ensures our instructors can keep their diaries running smoothly.

Yes! Our instructors offer a door-to-door service. As long as your pickup and drop-off points are within your instructor’s local coverage area and arranged in advance, we can easily accommodate you.

Yes, we do offer fast-track intensive blocks depending on local instructor availability. Please get in touch with your postcode and test date (if you have one) so we can check our availability for you.

Yes. Most of our instructors offer lessons in the evening and at weekends, although these are popular times and do get booked up in advance. If you require these specific slots, we recommend booking a block package early to secure your preferred times.

For Franchise Drivers

Not at all. That is exactly what you are paying us for! We manage local marketing, SEO, and social media ads to ensure a steady stream of learner enquiries in your specific postcodes. You just manage your diary and do what you do best: teach.
