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 instructor. Always helpful, reliable and funny. He has really helped me to develop my confidence on the road and I enjoyed our wide range of conversations. Super happy to have a driving licence (but a little sad to finish driving lessons! ).
Response : Ah yes passing was bitter sweet lol. I loved our chats, about all sorts and your playlists were fab.

I definitely recommend idrivemanchester. Keith was my instructor, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through learning to drive. He was incredibly patient, supportive, and always helped to calm my nerves, especially when I was feeling anxious or lacking confidence. Keith explained everything clearly and made every lesson enjoyable and productive. His encouragement and reassurance really helped me improve and feel comfortable behind the wheel.

Highly recommend IDrive Manchester. I learnt to drive with Keith and he always put me at ease while explaining things in an easy to understand way. As an older learner who never thought she would be able to pass I'm pleased to say that I did with the help of Keith and the IDrive team. .

I learnt to drive with Keith at iDrive and highly recommend to any learners. Keith is a really patient teacher, lesson times were flexible and available to book in advance and the support throughout the learning and test process is excellent.

I learnt to drive with Karen and had an amazing experience. I have recently passed first time with only one minor! Karen is lovely, she is very patient, explains each step clearly and is easy to talk to which made the lessons very fun. Would definitely recommended her.

This is a late review for Jeremy, I passed my driving test with Jeremy on 3rd October 2023! As a late passer I had so much anxiety and I had taken lessons when I was younger started them at 20 years old but my anxiety got the best of me and I stopped! 13 years later and 3 children later life was so restricted on days out etc. I took the leap and decided to try again! Straight away with Jeremy I was so comfortable we had the best laughs and banter which made me feel like I was with a family member. I started my lessons in May 2023 did 1 hour per week and Passed in the October with 1 minor (first time). Honestly I cannot recommend Jeremy enough! Class A Superstar! ? .

Response : Thanks Sherry, I am so so pleased for you, you overcame so many setbacks with your test dates, all out of yours and my control, you never moaned or felt sorry for yourself, you just kept on going. A deserved first time pass. Well done.

Had an amazing experience with Gareth, his lessons were made to be a calm learning environment, at the same time made sure that I was test ready, and a safe driver in general. I also had brilliant conversations with him, exchanging interests. Overall, I passed my test, all thanks to him, with the wish that I had him from the beginning of my driving journey.
Response : What a lovely kind review Yash. Thank you. Glad I could help.
