Crossed-out prices are the same number of hours at our 2 hour lesson rate (£40 an hour manual, £42.50 an hour automatic). Prices cover tuition only, and DVSA test fees are paid separately. Intensive courses are priced after a free assessment drive.
A local driving school in Doncaster
Alma Driving School is a family-run driving school in Doncaster. We teach manual and automatic driving lessons across the town and the surrounding villages of South Yorkshire, and we help you learn to drive on the roads you will use every day.
Every learner starts with a conversation about where they are up to. Complete beginners start on quiet roads with the basics. If you have had lessons elsewhere and are unhappy with your progress, a mock test shows which faults are holding you back, and your lessons go straight to them. You can also switch between a manual or automatic car if the clutch is what is slowing you down.
Lessons are tailored to suit you, from intensive driving courses for learners who want to pass quickly to refresher lessons for anyone coming back after a break. Before your driving test we run mock tests marked the way a DVSA examiner marks the real thing, so test day holds no surprises.
Our learners give us a 5.0 rating from 68 Google reviews, and many have passed first time. Book your first lesson by phone or WhatsApp and tell us whether you would prefer a male or female driving instructor.
Male or female instructor, your call
Some learners feel more comfortable with a female instructor, and that's a perfectly normal thing to ask for. Tell us your preference when you book and we'll match you.
