Frequently Asked Questions
How much do UK driving instructors charge?
£28–£40/hr depending on region (London higher, rural lower). Block bookings of 10 hours typically offer a 5–10% discount. State both hourly and block rates on your invoice.
Do driving instructors need to register as self-employed?
Yes — most UK driving instructors are self-employed sole traders. Register with HMRC, get a UTR, and keep invoices for all lesson income.
Should I charge for the test-day lesson?
Standard practice: charge for the pre-test warm-up lesson (usually 1–2 hours) and car hire for the test. List these as separate line items.
