How Much Does an Intensive Driving Course Cost?
Compare our intensive driving course prices, course lengths and payment breakdowns, and understand why the right number of driving hours matters more than simply choosing the cheapest course.
The right course depends on your previous experience and current driving ability. If your theory test is already passed, £25 is deducted from the intensive national rate.

What Affects the Cost of an Intensive Driving Course?
The number of driving hours you need has the greatest effect on the total price. Two learners can want an intensive course but need very different amounts of tuition.
Previous Driving Experience
If you have already completed regular lessons and retained those skills, you may need fewer intensive training hours than a complete beginner.
Your Current Driving Ability
Previous lesson hours are only a guide. Control, road awareness, confidence and independent driving ability also affect which course is suitable.
Course Length
Our main intensive courses range from 18 to 48 hours. Longer courses cost more because they contain more one-to-one professional driving tuition.
Intensive or Semi-Intensive
We also offer semi-intensive courses for learners who want to spread their training over a longer period, with a separate pricing structure.

Is the Cheapest Intensive Driving Course the Best Value?
Choose the right amount of tuition, not simply the lowest price.
A cheaper course is only good value if it contains enough training for your current ability. Booking too few hours may mean that you need additional lessons later.

Intensive vs Semi-Intensive Course Costs
The difference is not just price. It is also how your training is scheduled.
Intensive courses concentrate your tuition into consecutive training days. Semi-intensive courses spread the training over a longer period for learners who need more flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions About Intensive Driving Course Prices
Open a question below for a quick answer.
How much is a one-week intensive driving course?
The price depends on the number of tuition hours. Our main intensive courses currently range from £990 for an 18-hour course to £2,500 for a 48-hour course. The training itself ranges from 3 to 8 days depending on the course selected.
What is the cheapest intensive driving course?
Our main intensive course range starts with the 18-hour course at £990. Shorter assessment and retest options are also available for learners who meet the relevant suitability requirements.
Do I pay the full intensive driving course price when I book?
No. Our course prices are split between a booking deposit and a remaining balance. Each course card above shows the current payment breakdown.
Does passing my theory test reduce the course price?
Yes. £25 is deducted from our intensive national rate if your theory test is already passed.
Are intensive driving courses cheaper than weekly driving lessons?
The cost depends on how many hours of tuition you ultimately need. An intensive driving course concentrates your lessons into a shorter period, but your course also includes additional support beyond your driving tuition.
You will receive theory test study materials, tailored OneWeekDrivingCourse.co.uk guides covering both the theory and practical driving tests, expert guidance through the practical test booking process, and access to our Student Test Swapping Process to provide additional opportunities to secure an earlier practical test.
When comparing costs, it is therefore important to consider the tuition, course structure, learning materials and support included, rather than comparing the hourly cost alone.
Does an intensive driving course include a practical driving test?
Only the learner can book and manage their own practical driving test. We provide guidance through the test booking process and offer course booking options that can be structured around your practical test arrangements.
Which courses include the Free Practical Test Offer?
Our Free Practical Test Offer is available on eligible 30, 36, 42 and 48-hour intensive driving courses. Read the Free Practical Test Offer terms and information.
