   IMPORTANT

Be prepared to trust our instructor and following his advice

All our lessons are conducted on a one to one basis. 

We do not share your lesson with someone else, by asking you to pick up the next client as part of the lesson, time for which you have paid. 

We strive to be Punctual 

All our lessons are conducted on a door to door basis for your convenience. 

We always keep the same car and instructor. 

We use normal cars without any gadgets or tricks. The engines are not revved up to prevent stalling, you will learn to drive properly without the help of window stickers. 

Tricks will only deceive you that you know how to drive, but then when you purchase your car many problems arise. We will be glad to supply you with a list of persons who came to us after obtaining their license, but could not drive because they were not prepared for the real thing! 

Not all our competitors can give this assurance. 

 

You deserve the best and that is why we invested in instructor training, individual tuition, and the safest cars on the island. 

Besides the British qualifications, he possesses the required permit to operate as a driving instructor in Malta. This means that the instructor who taught you, will accompany you during your test. We do not have employees because Ian wants to be sure that you are being instructed according to his standards of quality regarding safe driving. And this is reassuring! 

Considering all the above we still have very competitive prices, cheaper then our competitor's! Call us now on 79693511 and leave the rest to us.

In case of accidents you do not pay insurance excess fees because our cars are fully insured. For safety reasons, during your first lessons and only until you start to handle the car properly, our instructors will drive you  to/from a safe location. Booking is strictly on a first come first served basis so kindly book ahead to avoid long gaps from one lesson to another. Double lessons are also available.

The Driving Test

Usually our Driving Test is held on a Thursday and by 08:30 you should be boasting with your new driving license. We do pick you up before your driving test and we drive you back home or to your destination. Make sure to bring your Identity Card and Lm20.00 for your 10 year driving license document.

The Maltese driving test consists of three parts, reverse, road driving and Highway Code.

Approximately 10% fail the reversing part mainly due to the excitement and tension that many students suffer before the test commences. We can only suggest you stay calm and relax as mush as possible so you can concentrate and prove the examiners that you are able to drive. Please note that the examiners have no quota to pass or fail students, they do not attempt to trick you to fail. Their main objective is to ensure that you can handle and control the car safely and according to the examination's requirements.                      

 

So Good Luck and we wish you safe and happy motoring for your life!

 

never drink and drive!

 

Looking for a Driving Instructor

You should use a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor who is registered with the Licensing and Testing Department. Only an licensed driving instructor is legally allowed to charge for a driving lesson.


OK, but how do you choose?

Ask friends and relatives to recommend if possible.

Look for an instructor who conducts himself or herself in a professional manner.

Choose an instructor who has a good reputation and whose car suits you.

A clean car and tidy instructor is usually a sign they take pride in their work.

Full time instructors depend on your custom not like part-time instructors whose earnings come from their full time job.


But be warned......

Do not go in search of the cheapest driving lessons, what you are looking for is value for money. Low cost driving lessons often work out more expensive over a period of time - would you buy the cheapest car you could find? 

Would you go to the cheapest, un-experienced doctor around and trust your life in his hands? You are trusting your life and future in your driving instructor, so choose wisely. Think twice about paying lessons in advance with an instructor you have not met - a 'trial' lesson might be a good idea. 

There is a Lm10.00 fee by the Licensing & Testing Department to change your driving school/instructor, so be  sure before submitting your application to the Department.
