Terrible, been talk front and bank. Saw the Royal Mail end up wrong address. Never refunded and ask me to pay again and I assume that scam moved. I lost money. They never resolved

Attention learners
Attention learners. This company is making false claims on it's website.
1) Hand Picked Instructors
We only work with the best local driving schools, that have been rated highly by learners.
2) Crowd Sourced Data
We get to know which Instructors work well with each type of learner. So you can find your perfect match and have the best driving lessons possible
Really? I'm a former driving instructor and you have sent me a text telling me you have learners in the WN7 area (that's 40 miles from me) wanting a driving instructor.
You have obviously done a lot of research to find me haven't you, using google of course.
So I'm not only 'hand picked' from an internet entry, you know me well enough to match me to find a perfect match pupil.
So how come you don't know that I've been retired for 4 years?
ADDITIONAL NOTES: I have now been asked to provide more information so that they 'can verify I had a genuine experience'. Yeah, give you my phone number so you can spam me some more?
The number you sent me the spam text from is 07451288967. This was the message I received:
Hi there, Lynds from Otimo here; We have had lots of interest from learners drivers around the WN7 area, and I wondered if you or any of your instructors had any availability for new pupils within the next month or so? Our learners have paid a £99 deposit and you will receive the full course price before the first lesson - you set your own prices. If you are interested, please confirm your transmission, your course prices and the postcodes you work in. This will enable us to match you with more pupils. Thanks very much.

Gareth is great - love otimo
Found my instructor gareth through otimo. He was really experienced and had a brand new car that was really easy to learn to drive in. Passed first time!!!
Get your pupils using Otimo!!
I have been using Otimo as a tool to help my pupils progress between lessons. The strava like experience has been a great tool to showcase their progression and helps me understand if they are ready for their tests. Would recommend any driving instructor to use this with their pupils

100% recommended!
I used otimo to help find me an instructor after struggling for months to find one.
Within a week I had an instructor that catered to my needs and worked around my availability.
As I hadn't had much driving experience before, I was nervous and clueless as I didn't know which course was right for me but otimo guided me through everything and helped me find a course that tailored to my needs.
I was kept updated throughout and received a great service from start to finish!
I honestly could not have found a better instructor myself! I'm so glad i used otimo!!
100% recommended!!

Thank you so much!
I got in touch with Otimo having struggled to find a decent driving instructor in the past. They found me one really quickly, it initially said 4 weeks but they got me in much sooner. My experience with the instructor was great and I can’t suggest them highly enough. I’m now a considerably better driver and couldn’t have done it without Otimo. If you’re hesitant, just do it!

Passmate is very Good
I really had nice experience with Passmate. They are there to help you any way they can. You will always be sure to pass your driving lessons with and also pass your driving test. I gave Passmate 100%
Above and beyond.
Having lived overseas for almost my whole adult life, I never had any need for a UK licence so as soon as I moved back I wanted to obtain one as soon as possible.
At very short notice, both Gavin and Sam at Passmate, strived and achieved to get me booked in within a couple days.
Very much appreciated.
A life saver
A life saver
I have just completed my first year at university away from home and learning to drive in a city I don't know is difficult. I was extremely nervous and needed an instructor who could keep me calm and understand that City driving is massively daunting for someone from Oswestry.
Passmate supported me in finding the right instructor and I am now looking to book my test. I knew it would take me a little more time to build my confidence, but so did my instructor.
Found just what I needed
Easy to use website and I quickly found a really good instructor in Kathy! Honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to teach me to drive!
You should 100% use this!
Managed to find a driving instructor quick and easily!! Would recommend to anyone who is struggling to find a good driving instructor in Liverpool.
Really glad I went through Passmate
The sign up process was quick and easy and getting my lessons booked with Bruce (who’s a great instructor by the way) was also pretty effortless
Really recommend!
Moved to Liverpool for university and had no idea where to go for driving lessons that suited me. My friend recommended Passmate so I decided to give it a go and I was not disappointed! Super fast responses and they took care of everything for me. They found me a great instructor who suited my style of learning! Really recommend!
New to the area and needed a driving instructor
Moved near Liverpool about a year ago and had no idea where to go for driving lessons, gave Passmate a go and they were great! They did all the work for me and found me a really good instructor. Really recommend.
Brilliant instructor and really easy to use!
Really easy to use and Alex has been brilliant so far. Couldn't recommend enough.
