    Barry provided me with excellent lessons, being consistently calm, supportive and professional, and providing really useful and relevant advice which enabled me to improve my driving skills and my confidence. His lessons prepared me incredibly well for both my driving test and for my subsequent independent driving, and I’d highly recommend him!

    An excellent experience learning with this driving instructor. They’re patient, clear, and make you feel confident behind the wheel right from the start. Their teaching style is calm and encouraging, which is definitely what you need in a learning situation!

    Trained with Barry when we first started our instructor journey with the AA driving school. To see how far he has progressed is a pleasure. His attention to detail is exceptional. Very calm under pressure. Highly recommended.

    Practical Driving Test Fee

    Test-day support and dual-controlled car hire in Princes Risborough and the Chilterns. Secure the use of my comfortable and familiar tuition vehicle for the duration of your official DVSA Practical Driving Test.

    • £150*
    • Total 2 Hours Including travel to and from test centre
    • Pickup and drop off
    • The use of the car for the test itself (approx. 40 minutes).

    *If time in addition to the 2 hours above is required for travel to and from the practical test centre, this will be charged at the standard hourly rate, to the nearest next hour  (minimum 1 hour). 

    Emergency Practical Driving Test Hire

    Have you been let down by your driving instructor, or worried you won’t have a suitable car for your practical test? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to let it derail your test date. I can offer short-notice driving test car hire and assessment lessons across Princes Risborough and the wider Chilterns, giving you last-minute support exactly when you need it most.

    • Been let down by your instructor? It happens more often than you’d think. If your usual instructor is suddenly unavailable or has double-booked, don’t cancel your test. I might be able to step in at short notice so your hard-won test slot doesn’t go to waste.
    • No suitable vehicle for the test? You can’t take your practical test in just any car — it has to meet strict DVSA requirements. I can provide a modern, fully insured, dual-controlled car that examiners recognise and trust, taking one more worry off your plate.
    • The “test-ready” confidence check. If you’ve been learning with a family member or have had a break from lessons, you might want a professional second opinion before the big day. I can arrange a short series of assessment lessons in the run-up to your test, working through a mock test, ironing out any bad habits, sharpening your manoeuvres, and making sure you’re driving to the current DVSA standard.

    Don’t let a missing car or a cancelled instructor stand between you and your full UK driving licence. Get in touch to find out how I might be able to help.

    Please note that all driving lessons, assessments, and courses listed above are conducted exclusively in the instructor’s modern, insured, and dual-controlled tuition vehicle. For safety and insurance reasons, I do not conduct lessons in a student’s personal car.
