Each lesson will commence when the pupil enters the car provided that the pupil enters the car at the arranged/pre-booked time.
If the pupil is not present at the arranged meeting point the instructor will wait for 15 minutes, during which time the instructor will attempt to contact the pupil. After this period, and if no contact has been made, the instructor will leave and the pupil charged for the lesson.
Where the instructor may arrive slightly late for a lesson due to circumstances beyond his control, the instructor will make efforts to extend the finish time of the lesson by the same amount of time, or add the time on to the following lesson. If the instructor expects to be delayed by more than 15 minutes he will endeavour to contact the pupil to inform of the delay.
If the pupil wishes to cancel or rearrange a lesson then 48 hours notice is required, otherwise the pupil will be charged for the period booked.

When pre-payments have not been made, then payments for lessons are due at the beginning of each lesson. Payments can be made by cash or immediate bank transfer.
A separate charge is made for the use of the training car during a driving test. This is currently £65.00 this includes a 1hr lesson prior to your test.
