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 was an amazing driving instructor! He was super patient, calm, and easy to learn with. The lessons were always clear and really helped me build confidence. Passed my test first time and couldn’t be happier. Would 100% recommend to any learners!

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! ? .

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.

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.
