Automatic Driving Lessons in Coventry
Automatic driving lessons teach you to drive a car that changes gear for you, so you can give your attention to steering, observation and road position. They suit nervous learners and anyone who wants fewer controls to manage while building confidence behind the wheel.
How your automatic lessons work
We teach in modern dual-control automatic cars, with one of our automatic instructors beside you in every session — tap through to see what that means for you.
In the car

Every lesson
An automatic instructor beside you
One of our automatic instructors is beside you in every session, guiding you as you build confidence behind the wheel.
Whichever transmission
The same local instructors
Automatic tuition sits within our wider driving lessons in Coventry service, so you learn with the same local instructors whichever transmission you choose.
driving lessons in CoventryWhy choose automatic lessons
Automatic lessons remove gear changes and clutch control from the learning process, which lets you spend more of each lesson on the skills assessed in the driving test, such as observation, steering and road position. Some learners reach test standard sooner this way because they have fewer actions to coordinate at once. An automatic car can be a calmer place to start for anyone who has found the clutch stressful in a manual.
Automatic vs manual — which should I choose?
Choose automatic if
You want a simpler route to your licence, because there is no clutch or gearstick to operate. An automatic licence lets you drive automatic cars.
Choose manual if
You need to drive manual vehicles for work or want the freedom to drive either type, because an automatic licence does not let you drive a manual car.
Both routes lead to a full driving licence; the difference is what you are allowed to drive afterwards. Learners who would prefer a female instructor can request one.
Our automatic cars
Once automatic is the right choice for you, the next thing that shapes your lessons is the car you learn in. You learn in one of our dual-control automatic cars — each carries a second set of pedals so your instructor can step in if needed, letting you practise new manoeuvres with that support as you build confidence. Our fleet is kept in lesson-ready condition.
