Great service
Great service in providing an instructor for test taken outside of my local area. Prompt responses and straight forward arrangement, clarity in costs and a seamless experience. Very good job 👍

I had very pleasant experience with the team where they have acted so quick and very responsible to make sure that everything which I expect on the exam date are in order. So grateful for their responsiveness.
Rani is an excellent instructor
Rani is an excellent instructor, straight to the point and none of the philosophical stuff you get with some others. She’s all about getting you ready to pass the test and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Smooth service driving was early for my 1 hour session, went through all the car details that was asked during the exam. I booked this last min and was assigned a driving instructor straight away
Amazing Experience
I couldn’t recommend this driving school highly enough! From the very first lesson, my instructor was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive. They explained everything clearly and always made sure I was confident before moving on to the next step. The lessons were well-structured and tailored to my needs, which really helped me progress quickly and feel prepared for the test. Thanks to their guidance and encouragement, I passed my driving test the first time!
DTC is reliable and big thanks to Ray Reid
I'm truly grateful to DTC for arranging a last-minute car for my driving test today. I made the booking two weeks ahead, and my instructor, Mr. Ray Reid, was both highly experienced and incredibly encouraging. His support during the final mock test gave me the confidence I needed—and I'm thrilled to say I passed on my first attempt. I highly recommend DTC for anyone preparing for their driving exam!
I paid money
I paid money, test wasnt taken! I lost that whole money. I need a refund otherwise i will complain
Hi there, Review for DTC & Ken Cross
Hi there,
Review for DTC & Ken Cross
I just passed my driving test, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Ken Cross and the excellent DTC service! Ken is an amazing instructor—by far the best I’ve met. In just two lessons, he built a strong connection with me, which made me feel supported, confident, and fully prepared for the test.
Ken’s teaching style is clear, calm, and motivating. He knows exactly how to guide and encourage you, no matter your skill level. His ability to explain things in a way that clicks is truly impressive.
The DTC service was also outstanding—smooth, professional, and very helpful in getting me booked and ready for the test. Everything was well organized, and it made the whole experience stress-free.
Thank you, Ken, and thank you to the DTC team for helping me pass! Great job all around!
Sumeera is amazing
Sumeera is amazing! The best driving instructor. I love her style she is funny and firm because she understands the importance of us passing! I would definitely recommend her!

I was bail out for my practical driving test when I needed them most because my instructor is hospitalized at the last days to my test.
Thank you so much for this
I was not able to find the instructor…
I was not able to find the instructor for me at the last moment who can give lesson and provide car on test day. But when I contacted them within 2 days I get the instructor ( Frank ) and I also passed today.
Not reliable at all
Not reliable at all. Booked and made payment. Promised an instructor and vehicle for the DVSA road test day. After 3 days I was told they couldn't find an instructor and vehicle and was refunded.
5 Stars - Highly Recommend
DTC Driving School provided me with a car hire and two professional lessons right before my driving test, and I couldn’t be more grateful. A huge thank you to my instructor, Manisha, who was incredibly supportive and professional. She helped me polish everything up, caught onto my minor mistakes quickly, and explained them clearly and thoroughly. Her guidance made all the difference and gave me the confidence I needed to pass. Highly recommend their services!
Excellent
DTC driving school definitely deserves 5 stars. They found me a driving instructor with very short notice and were really helpful. My instructor Rani was absolutely brilliant. She was calm, friendly and very helpful. I only had 10 lessons with her and she helped me to correct my weaknesses and to improve my driving skills massively. I passed my test thanks to Rani and would highly recommend her to anyone.
ompany was able to supply my needs and far exceeded my expectations…
The company was able to supply me with a car for the practical test, along with a competent driving instructor.
My original instructor was unavailable for test day, as the date was a cancellation which I was fortunate to obtain.
Prior to the test date, the DTC instructor allowed me to get a feel of the car couple of days before, and even 1hr before the actual test.
I would definitely recommend DTC driving school, based on my experience.
Negative instructor
The instructor on my test date was so awful and negative. It is disheartening to have an instructor say demotivating words to a student on a test day. Unfortunately, i failed the test and the instructor kept saying discouraging words on the drive back

I got a last minute driving test slot and most instructors were not willing to take me. I found DTC online, called, explained my situation and they quickly found an instructor for me. Who got me ready for the test and I passed.
Highly recommend.

This is my second experience with DTC, and it has consistently been a positive one. I have encountered no problems; the process was clear, simple, and straightforward. I opted for the full service and car hire package, and everything proceeded without any issues, allowing me to pass my practical test within a week of reaching out to them. I wholeheartedly recommend their services
