Learner drivers will still need to pay for the costs of the theory and practical driving tests

Learning to drive is not only a time commitment, but it can also be expensive and a recent survey from Marmalade Insurance suggested that almost half of instructors upped the price of lessons in 2022 as a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.

However, many disabled people may not be aware that the Motability Scheme can offer up to 40 hours of free driving lessons to those who qualify all-year-round. As the average learner driver needs between 40-50 hours of lessons before they are test-ready, this could potentially cover your full learning journey and is something many disabled people may not be aware of.

These specialist lessons give you time to learn how to operate an adapted vehicle under the supervision of a trained instructor. You must also have a current lease agreement on the Motability Scheme or have a pending application for a vehicle on the Motability Scheme, with a confirmed date to take delivery of the vehicle within the next four months.
