One Week Driving Pass

Why is Blackpool the centre of the Intensive Driving Course universe?! Every day we must get 10% of our search engine hits from searches looking for intensive courses in Blackpool!

There’s a lot of intensive driving course companies based there, despite it’s test centre being placed in a very busy area (probably why many of the courses which start in Blackpool end up driving miles away on the final day for a test in Heysham, Wigan or Preston – in areas where their customers have never driven).

Be a bit careful – though I am sure there may be some good intensive course companies based in Blackpool, there are certainly some bad ones. When booking your course look out for how many of you will be in the same car – they often sell courses for 2 drivers to 1 car – how do you fancy sitting in the back of the car for half the time (or more if the other driver is slower to pick things up).

Another hazard, as mentioned above is where you will be taking your test. All of our tests are carried out in the area that you book your training for – but the many residential companies will train you in one area then because of difficulties getting test times they will move you anything up to a couple of hundred miles to do your test in an unfamiliar test centre.

If the intensive course company arrange your accomodation for you – find out where you will be staying and what is included in the price – often this is an excellent source of income for driving course companies – they pay a cheap hotel £100 a week for your bed and breakfast, but you pay £200. It is worth calling the hotel yourself – don’t mention the driving course (they may know about the scam) and ask their prices.

So, if you want to learn to drive – why choose Blackpool?
