Automatic Driving Lessons in Cheam

Automatic lessons in Cheam are £37.50 an hour, the same as everywhere else we teach, with a two hour minimum booking. A 10 hour block is £370 (£37 an hour), a 20 hour block is £730 (£36.50 an hour) and a 30 hour block is £1,080 (£36 an hour). Prices are identical for manual and automatic, so choose the transmission that suits how you want to drive afterwards. See our prices and offers page for every option.

Yes. Pickup is arranged locally across Cheam (SM3) and the roads around it, so your instructor comes to you. If you live near the edge of Cheam, towards Sutton, Ewell and Belmont, give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm we can reach you.

Yes, every automatic lesson has a two hour minimum, whether you pay hourly or buy a block. A two hour session gives you time to settle in, practise a skill properly and then use it on real roads around Cheam.

No. Your first lesson covers the controls, moving off and stopping, and you will not meet busy junctions until you are comfortable. With no clutch or gears to manage, you can give your full attention to steering, observation and reading the road from the first lesson. You will need your provisional licence.

Cheam suits learners who want to build up gently. The wide residential roads around Cheam Park and Cheam village are good for moving off, stopping and your first junctions, and Cheam Road and the roads towards Sutton and Ewell add traffic lights, roundabouts and busier stretches when you are ready for them. Your instructor builds the route around what you need to practise, not a fixed script.

It comes down to what you will drive after you pass. A manual licence covers manual and automatic cars, while an automatic licence only covers automatic cars. Manual and automatic lessons cost the same at Aqua, so cost does not need to decide it. Talk it through with us when you enquire. You can compare both on our lessons page.

Yes, both are available as separate services. A two hour mock driving test is £100, and motorway lessons are £45 an hour with a £135 minimum booking.

Yes. Test day support is £120 and includes pickup about an hour before your test, a warm-up drive, last-minute confidence-building tips and use of the car for your driving test. The DVSA test booking fee is not included. See test day support for details.

Driving lessons are available from 6:30am, seven days a week, so you can fit them around work, school or college. Tell us the days and times that suit you when you enquire and we will confirm what is available in Cheam.

Use the enquiry form on this page, our contact page, or call 07877 676243. Tell us your postcode, your driving experience and when you are free, and we will come back to you about availability and a first lesson time. Booking lessons is separate from booking your practical test, which you do yourself with DVSA. If you are also thinking about manual lessons, ask us and we will explain the difference.
