Surely you would be better off driving in your own car? Receive lessons in it and get used to it that way you will feel more comfortable with the car for the test.

DrivingInfo

Price of Driving Lessons/Pre-Test in Ireland range from €25 to €45 per 1 hour.
Hire of Driving School Car for use on your test + 1 Pre-Test Lesson should be approximately €100
You will not need additional insurance cover.

If you are taking your lessons in a school car you only pay for the lesson and not the car while on a lesson.

I hope this is of help to you.

Sorry to hijack but my sister is looking for lessons in an automatic in limerick.
Anyone here know of a driving school with an auto car.
btw she's been told by one instructer that there are none.

I would be amazed if there were. Could she not use her own automatic car?

macshadow

She could but she's only in the early stages of learning and doesn't keep her
car in limerick.
there's definitely an opening for one imo.

Why are so many people now learning to drive in a automatic?
Surely it makes more sense to learn in a manual and not limit yourself to an automatic?

Never driven an automatic (not having a go at automatic drivers here) but wouldn't it be fine to learn from scratch in her own car? You don't have to spend time getting used to how to learn how the clutch works and it wouldn't be too dangerous to take complete beginner lessons in a non duel controlled car. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Getting back to the OP's Question I got 11 for €250 from Treaty based in Killaloe but operating out of Limerick...in the Golden Pages....

€100 for 1 hour pre-test and test....I think they had to arrange some sort of insurance because one of the instructors wasn't in the car.

Passed 1st time:D

Come highly recommended!!

I've never driven an auto either, but I'm really tempted to get one considering the amount of time I spend in gridlock

thanks, drivinginfo and ninty9er (and others).
ninty9er, where did you practice, in limerick?

I got the Caherdavin route and the Raheen/Mungeret Route as well as 1 city centre at rush hour for clutch control and road rage. First lesson was on the Shannon dual-carriageway (traffic only moves in one direction and there's a hard shoulder) to assess driving skill then back to town on the back roads...found them really good

electron

i'm curious now did you have any previous driving experience or did you start from the scratch?

I knew what the pedals did and had 1 lesson with my dad (DO NOT GET IN A CAR WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN AN INSTRUCTOR)

electron

sounds great
can't find them in the golden pages tho
can you post any contacts?

electron

some schools seem to offer 1 hr lessons whereas others expect you to take 2 hrs at a time. so which option should i go for? 5x2 or 10x1?
