Automatic Driving Lessons
Automatic Driving Lessons in Coventry
Learn to drive a car that changes gear for you, so you can give your attention to steering, observation and road position — ideal for nervous learners and anyone who wants fewer controls to manage.
Automatic tuition sits within our wider driving lessons in Coventry service, taught in modern dual-control automatic cars with a DVSA-approved instructor beside you.
Why 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 — observation, steering and road position. Some learners reach test standard sooner this way because they have fewer actions to coordinate at once, and 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. 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 — see our automatic vs manual comparison for more.
Learners who would prefer a female instructor can request one.
Our automatic cars
You learn in one of our dual-control automatic cars. Each carries a second set of pedals so your instructor can support you safely while you build skill — stepping in if needed, so you can practise new manoeuvres with that support as you grow in confidence.

First lesson
What to expect in your first lesson
Your first automatic lesson starts with the car and its controls, then moves at your pace. Your instructor sets the seat, mirrors and steering with you, shows you how the automatic gear selector works, and you drive on quiet roads once you feel ready. Because the car has dual controls, your instructor can help if a situation gets ahead of you, so early lessons stay low-pressure.

Frequently asked questions
Are automatic driving lessons easier than manual?
Automatic lessons are simpler to start because there is no clutch or gear changing to learn. That leaves more of each lesson for steering, observation and road position.
How much do automatic driving lessons in Coventry cost?
Automatic driving lessons in Coventry start from £37 per hour. Block bookings are available, and the exact price can vary by postcode.
What car will I learn in?
You learn in a dual-control automatic car. Our fleet is a 2023 Audi A3 and a 2019 Toyota Yaris.
Can I switch to manual later?
Yes. Passing your test in an automatic car gives you a licence for automatic cars only. To drive a manual car, you would need to pass a manual test.
Do you teach automatic lessons outside Coventry?
Yes. We teach automatic lessons in Bedworth, Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa, Warwick and Kenilworth as well as Coventry.
