Terms of Service

Effective date: 16 August 2025

These Terms of Service govern your use of services provided by DRS Driving School in Manchester. By booking lessons or using our website, you agree to these terms.

1) Our Services

We offer regular, intensive and crash driving courses, mock tests, and instructor-led tuition sessions in Manchester. We aim to deliver high-quality, professional instruction tailored to each learner’s experience level.

2) Booking & Payment

  • All lesson bookings must be made via our website or by contacting us directly.
  • Regular courses: Payment is due before or at the first lesson. Intensive courses require full payment upfront to confirm booking.
  • Payment secures instructor time and availability. We may cancel a booking without refund if payment is not received as required.

3) Cancellation & No-Show

  • Cancellations or rescheduling must be made at least 48 hours before a scheduled lesson to avoid charges.
  • No refunds or rescheduling are provided for lessons missed without proper notice (“no-shows”). The full lesson fee will be charged.
  • In case of instructor cancellations—for example due to illness or emergencies—you will either be offered a rescheduled slot or given a full refund.

4) Student Responsibilities & Conduct

  • You must comply with your instructor’s directions at all times and only operate the vehicle when instructed.
  • You are responsible for your own conduct behind the wheel. Any fines, penalties, damage costs or insurance liabilities arising from reckless or unauthorised actions remain your responsibility.
  • Our vehicles are insured for tuition purposes, but misuse or negligent behaviour may result in you being billed for associated costs outside of insurance coverage.

5) Intensive Course Terms

  • Intensive courses require full payment at booking for block scheduling and instructor allocation.
  • Cancellations after payment may be subject to partial or no refund depending on notice given and costs incurred. Please refer to your booking confirmation for details.

6) DVSA Test Bookings

  • Official DVSA test fees, dates and availability are outside our control.
  • We are not responsible for DVSA test cancellations or delays, but we will help you reschedule your lesson or mock test where possible at no extra charge.

7) Liability & Limitation

We will provide driving lessons with reasonable care and skill. However, we are not liable for:

  • Any loss, damage or delay caused by circumstances outside our control (e.g. extreme weather, traffic, DVSA changes).
  • Indirect or consequential losses, including loss of time, opportunities or fees for failed tests.
  • Failing to show up for a lesson or test—you remain responsible for fees as per Section 3 above.

8) Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your personal data. You can access it here. By booking with us, you agree to that policy as well.

9) Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our services or legal obligations. We will post any updates on this page and revise the effective date.
