Book Instructor Reviews 

Lukman Younus an amazing & passionate instructor! Please keep up the good work

Great customer service and company, the process was easy and fast.

Mo was fantastic and very patient with my whilst he was teaching me. He would also fit me in whenever he could and was incredibly accommodating throughout the whole process. I couldn’t have done it with out his help. Many many thanks, Mo!

Ateeq Zulfiqar is an excellent driving instructor. Calm, composed, experienced, he put a lot of time and effort into preparing me as best as possible for the test (which I passed on my first try). When making mistakes, he made sure that we went over those situation, both in theory (e.g., why was that a mistake) and practice, until I understood how to overcome those obstacles. He puts a lot on emphasis on awareness - drivers need to be aware at all times because there are infinite situations that can arise. But his concern was not with passing the test as much as the driver's own safety, and this is the most important thing that every instructor should teach.
On the technical aspect, Ateeq is experienced and can answer any question. He actually encourages to ask questions about anything, to make sure every doubt is clarified.
Before my test, we did a mock test and went over all the show me/tell me/ bonnet questions to make sure I was fully prepared on the actual test.
Ateeq is not only a good instructor, but a friendly person with whom you can have a conversation with. So, lessons are not mechanical and boring, and you can get used to driving whilst talking to someone.
He also prioritises the drivers wellbeing, and makes sure there are breaks throughout the lessons (I took the intensive driving course) to get some fresh air, a drink or just stretch your legs.
I would defintely recommend!

We used to book instructor because we were unable to find a driving instructor in our locality. Although initially we did think it was expensive, we were soon paid back by the fact the book instructor found us an instructor immediately. We also signed up for a quicker test date and were immediately given a test date. Since my daughter started doing the driving lessons she has been given her A-level date and one of these was her test date. We contacted book instructor and they immediately changed the test date and it was not very far from the first one. There were further complications when one of her exams moved and we had to move the test date yet again. Again book instructor stepped in and provided as an even earlier date.

I find book instructor very easy to communicate with and they immediately answer your queries. You don’t have to wait days to be heard.

If you’re struggling with driving lessons, I would definitely recommend them.

As someone who’s reached out to a lot of driving school companies, booking instructor has been the best. They make everything so easy and stay true to their promise and service. They’ve made this process so easy for me and I’m super happy about that.

Pass my test in one attempt with only 1 speed fault all thanks to my instructor Ka Lok Chan for being professional and helpful being patient with me

They take over £500 off you just for finding an instructor. They say its in case you miss a lesson so it will cover your instructor but the truth is he/she wont see a penny of it, its commission.

Olivia was amazing and she dealt with (and resolved!) my query so quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend

Helped me with my test

This company were very easy to deal with from the start. We were struggling to find an instructor in our locality and Book Instructor found us one immediately and provided options of a test date. Their communication is very good and swift responses to queries or need for help.

Simple and stress free! Thank you so much ! Passed first time!

Book instructor were very helpful, organised and booked my test which made things less stressful. They also found me a new instructor when i didnt find the first one assigned to me very helpful. The customer service was positive and i am glad i booked with them. I have now passed my test

Great service and have to mention Sarah great help dealing my everything

The original instructor I booked with cancelled on me last minute- in the end was very happy she did as I got an amazing driving instructor Alaa Katbeh. Would recommend him to anyone (new drivers or people needing refresher lessons like myself)

The instructor Seb Abasi was spot on on where I needed improvement,

Zoom Theory Training was very informative and helpful
Yad was a great trainer

I have recently booked 10 hours intensive course and test with book instructor due to the long current UK wait times for a driving test and although I have a lot of driving experience I wanted to make sure I am 100% test ready. I am awaiting to be allocated an instructor which can take up to 2 weeks but this process definitely takes all of the hard work away sifting through different instructors and company's. I have a test booked and there system searches every 15 mins for a cancellation which I'm hoping will bring my test forward a lot sooner. The app is really easy to use and if you have any queries you are able to email them directly. Olivia has been super helpful and reasurring responding to my query very quickly and efficiently. So far, so good :)

I was confused where to start from. A quick google search got me this website that further refined my search to my instructor Ali Iqbal. Ali is very calm and a very good instructor that refine your class to your needs. I had a very calm and good experience with him and i thank him so much for the lessons and successfully passing my test on first attempt. Thank you Ali, you are the best.

I strongly advise people to avoid using Book Instructor.

I paid £628.10 for what was advertised as a fast-track driving test service, which included a theory test, two practical test dates, and additional fees for “quick test booking, cancellation checking, instructor allocation, administration, performance coaching and VAT.” Despite booking this in December, I was later told the earliest test they could get me was April — which completely defeats the point of paying for a fast pass. I ended up having to search and find an earlier test date myself.

On top of that, I then paid over £1,800 directly to the instructor I was assigned. There was no block booking discount, which is standard with most instructors. Instead, I was only offered a slightly reduced rate for 10 extra hours — but only if it was arranged privately and not through Book Instructor, which raised red flags for me.

Now, just two weeks before my driving test, my instructor has informed me he is not available on the test date, leaving me without a car and effectively back at square one. Book Instructor have offered no meaningful support or solution to fix this situation.

I paid a premium for a service that was supposed to make the process quicker and smoother. Instead, I’ve experienced delays, poor coordination, unexpected costs, and last-minute disruption at the most critical point.

In my experience, this service did not deliver what was promised, and the overall handling of bookings, instructor arrangements, and customer support has been extremely disappointing. I am now considering seeking legal advice to understand my options.

If you are thinking of using a fast-track driving service, I would strongly recommend doing very thorough research first.
