Driving Lessons
You and your instructor are responsible for agreeing all matters relating to the timing, location and duration of individual lessons.
On your first lesson you must present your instructor with a valid provisional licence.
You must notify your instructor of any matters which affect your ability or entitlement to have driving tuition, eg any lack or loss of a valid UK professional driving licence.
Cancellation of Lessons
If you or your instructor wants to cancel a lesson, a minimum of 24 hours’ prior notice should be given. If your instructor cancels a lesson without giving this, they’ll rearrange the lesson. Cancellations made by you must be confirmed via telephone or text directly to your instructor.
If you don’t give at least 24 hours’ notice of cancellation you’ll be charged for the lesson(s) concerned in full. In the event of you having booked your driving test, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) requires you to give three clear working days to cancel your test. This may mean that you may lose your DVSA test fee if your instructor says you’re not ready for your test within this three-day notice period.
Payment and Lesson Bookings
You must pay for any tuition before the start of the lesson. Payments cannot be taken by Credit or Debit card. You can use one of the following three payment methods:
1. Payment by bank transfer, direct to your instructor (Preferred method).
2. Payment by cash, direct to your instructor
3. Payment by cheque, cheque made payable to your instructor.
CJR Driving School has no responsibility or liability to you for payments made by any other means. If you pay your instructor directly by any method, you should make sure you get a receipt. CJR Driving School accepts no responsibility for any payments made directly to instructors.
Price Changes
The cost of pre-paid tuition is based on the lesson price at the time of your initial booking, this will be honoured for 12 months afterwards – irrespective of any price increase that may occur between the date of booking and when the lessons are taken. Any unused lessons remaining after 12 months have elapsed will be subject to any lesson price increase applied prior to the lessons which shall become payable by you.
Special Offers
CJR Driving School has a great range of offers for new and existing learner pupils on learning to drive. We reserve the right to introduce (and to withdraw) special offers from time to time.
Introductory offers are only available to new learner pupils.
Refund Policy and Warranty
You can cancel your pre-paid tuition at any time (for the provisions relating to the cancellation of individual lessons see ’Cancellation of lessons’ above). If you haven’t taken any lesson(s) at the time of cancellation you’ll be entitled to a full refund of any amounts paid to your instructor, subject to these points:
1. If you’ve taken lesson(s) at the time of cancellation you won’t be eligible for a refund on any lessons taken. 2. Where possible, your instructor will refund you using the same method you used to pay for your lessons. If for any reason we’re not able to do this, we’ll refund you by any other method we think is appropriate. 3. Refunds may take up to 10 working days to reach you or your account. 4. Refund of partial block bookings will be made pro rata on any lessons not taken.
