About idrivemanchester School of Motoring


Welcome to the idriveManchester driving school, Your driving instructor is Gareth Jones, an experienced and very patient fully trained government approved driving instructor for driving lessons in South Manchester and surrounding area. Driving lessons in South Manchester can be booked on the website or by telephone and I recommend you purchase a block of driving lessons which will help you pass your driving test in Manchester first time. Manchester driving lesson block bookings are also discounted by your driving instructor which off excellent value for money. You may also book a Manchester driving lesson and pay as you go. I also provide intensive and semi-intensive driving courses, individual driving lessons and advanced and defensive driver training and cover the following areas in Manchester: Sale, Altrincham, Timperley, Didsbury, Urmston, Wythenshawe, Hale and nearby areas. Please give me a call for a chat, and don't forget to also have look at my Manchester driving lesson special offers.

I work alone and I like it that way as I want to ensure you get the best possible tuition by someone who's name and number and more importantly reputation is directly linked to the business.

Based in Sale I cover the following areas, Sale, Brookland, Timperley, Altrincham, Baguley.
Northenden, Wythenshawe, Heald Green, Didsbury Urmston, Stretford, Flixton and Partington.

Once passed I offer one off Motorway lessons or insurance reducing Pass Plus courses.

Gareth is a fantastic driving instructor who blends professionalism with a fun, relaxed teaching style. He made me feel confident from the very beginning and helped me pass on my first attempt with zero faults. I also had only had two lessons with Tom before my test, his guidance made all the difference. He quickly helped me correct small habits and made me feel calm and confident on the day. So thankful for his patience and encouragement! Highly recommend iDrive Manchester for anyone learning to drive. .
Response : Thanks Emily I will pass on your kind words to Tom, glad you enjoyed learning to drive with idrivemanchester and instructors Gareth and Tom.

Both my teens learnt to drive under Gareth’s guidance. My daughter recently passed, today in fact with just one minor. Her first attempt. My son also passed first time with Gareth just over a year ago. I can highly recommend him, he offers solid training and a reliable and great service to his learners.

I had lessons with Gareth and since the start he made me feel confident and fully supported, thanks to him I passed first time. I had a great experience and would 100% recommend.

I can’t recommend iDrive Manchester and Gareth enough! From my very first lesson, Gareth put me completely at ease. He explained everything clearly and at a pace that suited me, and always made sure I understood before moving on. We shared plenty of laughs along the way, which made learning to drive so much less stressful. Gareth genuinely believed in me, even at times when I didn’t believe in myself, and that made all the difference. Thanks to his patience, encouragement, and fantastic teaching, I passed my test and actually enjoyed the process! If you’re looking for a driving instructor who’s friendly, supportive, and truly brilliant at what they do, Gareth is the one.

BOOK THEM NOW! Don’t think twice, I have had lessons from both Tom and Gareth and they were both amazing! They are both friendly and full of good humour which makes lessons so much more enjoyable and relaxed. They explain everything clearly and patiently. I can’t thank them enough for their help and encouragement. Highly recommend! BEEP BEEP.
