Driving School Support
Working Together to Help New Drivers Succeed
We believe your first car should feel like a natural next step after passing your test — not an overwhelming leap. That’s why we partner with local driving instructors and schools across Kent to better support new and learner drivers.
Whether you're currently learning to drive or you're an instructor looking to guide your students toward a safe and affordable first car, we’re here to help.

We understand what new drivers need — and what they don’t. Our cars are chosen for their reliability, affordability, and ease of use, with features that help build confidence on the road.

For Driving Instructors and Schools
