FAQs

Do you do manual lessons?

DrewMatic AutoZero are an automatic ONLY driving school. so im afraid we can't offer manual lessons. If your heart is set on manual lessons however, please let us know and we can put you in touch with one of the many manual driving schools we hav relationships with.

What is your availabilty for lessons?

Availability changes depending on your instructor, but as a general rule of thumb we can work around your diary and fit you in at a time that suits you. This includes weekend, evenings and early starts. Simply get in touch with us today and we can see where we can fit you in.

What car will I learn in?

The car you learn in will depend on the instructor you're allocated to, however we operate a fleet of Toyota Yaris and Auris Hybrid vehicles. We also have a Volkswagen Golf DSG, Ford Fiesta Ecoboost, Nissan LEAF, Vauxhall Corsa E, Mercedes AMG 250, Citroen C1 and a Renault Captur.

Do you have female instructors?

We certainly do! We have a fantastic team of both male and female instructors. Simply get in touch today to find out what availability we have in your area.

What is your cancellation policy?

We operate a first lesson in advance policy meaning we ask for payment for your FIRST lesson with us in advance. We do this because it deters time wasters and keeps space open for customers who are serious about learning to drive and keeps the dreamers and the time wasters away. We ask that payment is made no less than 48 hours before the lesson is scheduled lo take place - you can do this by discussing payment options with your instructor. You should be aware that if payment is not received within specified time it will be automatically cancelled and you will not receive reminders. Unfortunately if, after payment, you cancel the lesson within 48 hours of its scheduled time, you will be charged the lesson fee as a cancellation.

Other questions that you might have are answered on the FAQ page of our website.
