Under 17s Driving Lessons in Basildon

Basildon is located in the county of Essex, in the South East of England. Although it is known for its modern shopping centres, cultural attractions, and sports facilities, it continues to be a popular place to live and work and offers opportunities for those as young as 10 to get behind the wheel and kickstart their driving lessons before they start full time at the age of 17.

Our Young Driver Training packages are extremely popular and designed for children aged 10 to 17. These programs teach the basics of driving in a safe and controlled environment alongside a qualified instructor. They are offered at many locations across the UK. For venues near Basildon, consider the Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, which is just a 23-minute drive away and easily accessible via the A13. Another option is the Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent, located 30 minutes away, also reachable via the A13.

We offer 30 and 60-minute driving lessons in both manual and automatic cars, all equipped with dual controls for added safety. There's no need to wait until you turn 17 to start your driving lessons. With the guidance of an instructor, young learners will develop essential driving skills and build confidence behind the wheel.

Our driving lessons for under-17s have become increasingly popular over the years, largely due to the rising cost of traditional lessons. Starting lessons as early as 10 years old allows parents to plan ahead and spread the expenses over a longer period of time.

In addition to our Young Driver Training Experiences, residents of Basildon and the surrounding areas can take advantage of various alternative Driving Lessons.

One popular option is our Junior Driver Training with a Supercar Drive. This experience is designed for 10 to 17-year-olds and begins with a 30-minute driving lesson in a Mini Cooper S, where they will learn essential car control skills. Once they have mastered these basic driving skills, they can enjoy a 3-mile supercar drive. This Junior Driver Training takes place at North Weald Airfield, conveniently located just a 12-minute drive away from Basildon via A132. This makes it a fantastic choice for young aspiring drivers.

Alternatively, why not elevate the experience by gifting your young driver, aged 10-16, the Weekday Junior Truck Driving experience? They will have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a massive 12-car transporter. A fully qualified Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) instructor will guide them to manoeuvre the 60-foot vehicle around a specialised course. This experience is located at Carver Barracks, just a 1 hour and 3 minute drive from Basildon.

Regardless of age or ability, those under 17 have ample options in and around the Basildon area to begin their driving journey.
