Lanes School of Drving Reviews

Am very glad to have HABIB is my driving lession teacher . I passed my test first time . He is teaching me very clearly . He is very professional, I highly recommend to people to learn from him.

Personally I would avoid this company I can't speak for all the driving instructors that work for them but the one I did have wasn't the best, his name was Conrad and I didn't realize until I got a very good instructor how bad Conrad was, he spent every single lesson I had with him on and off his mobile phone, always told me at the end of the lesson what I done wrong so I never had chance to fix it when we did call up to complain the office was just as useless 7 days before my test Conrad refused to take me for my test because according to him I wasn't ready in his eyes so I found myself another instructor in such a small time frame that was nothing but amazing and guess what took my test and passed it first time yet if I listened to Conrad I would never of taken my test he crushed every bit of confidence I had and made me feel awful about my driving yet I had a different instructor not from this company and in 4, 45 min lessons I was test ready and passed with only 2 MINORS! So thanks for absolutely nothing! do not waste your money with this company!

I passed first time with my instructor Nick, amazing instructor and so excited to get on the roads now!!

Cant recommend Nick my driving instructor enough! i felt he was always fair when it came to our assessments at the end of each lesson and if there was anything i was unsure about we would revisit said maneuver or route time and time again until i felt confident. Learning to drive especially in my 30s was something i went into quite nervous about, but Nick was great, calming me and ensuring i got the best out of every lesson. 5 stars all round!

Passed with Nik..thank you for putting up with me and believing I have hope. Thanks a ton and God bless you Nd your family :)

I had a very disappointing experience with Lanes Driving school. My instructor, Farid, was unprofessional and disorganized. Despite informing the school and Farid about my upcoming driving test, he was unavailable during the crucial weeks leading up to it. He also missed several scheduled lessons, including one where I had taken time off work and lost significant earnings. Additionally, the school increased their prices without prior notice or any mention of this policy on their website. I also had an issue where I canceled a lesson due to my daughter’s emergency surgery, and Farid kept the overpaid amount without any consideration. Overall, the service was poor and lacked professionalism. I would not recommend this driving school to anyone.

passed first time with 2 minors, thanks to my instructor Nick. his lessons were always structured and enjoyable, couldn’t have had a better driving instructor and would recommend him to anyone needing automatic lessons in the orpington area.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I really had to this time as I recently passed on my first try, practising with Hakan. He’s such a great and genuine instructor, who really boosted my confidence. He’s honestly the best

Our experience was not the best in terms of instructors reliance

Just passed my driving test and I want to say a huge thank you to Conrad for teaching me!

I was practicing to drive for some time and then I came across Nick & I passed first time! He is very patient and understanding and that’s what I wanted to look for in a driving instructor for ages. Thank you Nick for helping me, can’t recommend him enough!

I purchased 10 lessons for a set price for my son on the 8th May 2024. He is a college student and so has been studying etc. No where on the website, nor on any emails, letter etc did it say that the price was subject to change. LANES, increased the price of their lessons on the 1st of June 2024, but hadn't informed me about a change of price, nor had they reserved the right to do so when I paid for the first 10 lessons. Today,they have told me they will not honour the my original payment and that if my son wishes to have lessons, I have to pay more. I payed a fixed price for the lessons. How is that acceptable? You can't set a price for something, then expect people to pay more after they have already purchased a product. We entered into a contract, which they have defaulted on. If I was to purchase a car, then said car increased in value, the seller would not be able to ask for more money. It's not my fault they decided to increase the price. DO NOT PRE BOOK LESSONS WITH THEM! THEY INCREASE THE PRICE EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED THEM.

Nic (Nicholas S) is a great instructor, and all around a great guy. I am based in Orpington and used him for automatic driving lessons. I took the test in West Wickham and cleared it thanks to Nic's knowledge of the test variations, area and test routes. He really has lots of experience living and driving around the area and all those help a lot. Thank you Nic, it was wonderful to get your support.

Highly recommend Lanes! Passed this morning with only two minors my first time - big thanks to my instructor Maria P who was endlessly patient and helpful, and for an excellent prep talk right before the test which calmed me down! Thanks Lanes and Maria!

Just passed my driving test today with 1 minor with Habib as my instructor. Thanks for all your guidance and feedback. I feel very confident as a driver and I have to thank Habib for that.
