What are refresher driving lessons?
Refresher driving lessons are a perfect way to improve specific skills, bump up your road safety, or boost your confidence behind the wheel.
We understand there are many reasons drivers seek refresher lessons — from needing reassurance after time away from driving, to rebuilding confidence after an accident, to feeling steadier on a motorway or at night. That's why our AutoPilot instructors listen to your needs and tailor your course accordingly.
Do refresher courses include night-time or motorway driving lessons?
Yes, if that's what you need. There are many areas of driving you can cover during your refresher lessons — here are just a few:
- Night driving
- Motorway driving
- Roundabouts
- Parking (reverse manoeuvre)
- Traffic signs
- Speed awareness
- Confidence building
- Switching to an automatic vehicle
Can I specify what I'd like to cover during my refresher lessons?
Of course you can. Our AutoPilot instructors know there are many reasons drivers of all ages come to us for refresher lessons — which is why they listen to your requirements and tailor your refresher course accordingly.
Whether you want to focus on a single skill or build a broader programme, your instructor will design lessons that match your goals.
How long is a driving refresher course?
That's entirely down to you. If you're getting back into driving after some time off — or you've just passed your test but feel a little nervous behind the wheel — we usually recommend booking around 5 hours of instruction to make sure you're getting the most from your experience.
If you need more time, we can easily top you up for a few more hours. Lessons are completely flexible.
How much are refresher lessons?
The cost of refresher lessons differs across the country. Single AutoPilot refresher lessons start from £42/hr, with a 5-lesson block at £195 (£39/hr) for those rebuilding skills more fully.
