Terms and conditions

Updated for courses booked from January 2026 reflecting changes in booking driving tests.

Previous terms and conditions (applying to courses booked in 2025) are available here.

By placing a booking for an intensive driving course through Pass In Days Ltd, you confirm that you have read and agree to the following terms and conditions.

“Pass In Days” is a trading name of Pass In Days Ltd, a company registered in Scotland under company number SC474094. The VAT registration number is GB 355 7826 62.

Registered Office Address: Pass in Days Clyde Offices, 2nd Floor, 48 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 1BP, United Kingdom (UK)

1.) Pass In Days will act as a booking agent and introduce you to a DVSA licensed self-employed driving instructor who will conduct your intensive driving course. Pass In Days will charge a “Booking Fee” of £226-£537, depending on the selected course.

This fee plus your DVSA theory test fee (depending on the course selected), must be paid online at the time of placing your driving course booking. Additional charges may apply for short notice courses, alternative arrangements, or more difficult locations. These charges will be discussed prior to confirming your booking.

2.) We will collect the necessary data to process your booking, including your name, contact details (phone number, email address), pick-up address, provisional licence number, theory test pass number, and other relevant information. We will use this data to organize your driving course, such as booking your driving test or theory test (depending on course selected), providing access to the online theory course via “Theory Test Pro,” finding driving test cancellations (if included) through external service providers, making arrangements with driving instructors, and other related tasks.

3.) The remaining course balance must be paid directly to your driving instructor no later than two weeks before the course start date, unless otherwise arranged with the instructor. The preferred method of payment for the balance is a bank transfer to your driving instructor. However, since we work with multiple instructors, some may not use online banking and may request a cash payment on the day. It is important to discuss the payment method with your instructor at least two weeks before the course start date. Failure to pay the balance as requested by your instructor will result in the loss of your space with no refunds.

4.) Course Location and Schedule:

a) The theory course provided is an online “self-study” course. You will need internet access and a compatible smartphone, computer, or tablet to access it. Complete details can be found at TheoryTestPro.co.uk.

b) During the week of your intensive driving lessons, your instructor aims to offer pick-up from your home. However, if you live a significant distance from the city or the driving test center, you may be requested to travel to meet the instructor. In such cases, you will be able to arrange the location directly with your driving instructor. We have a detailed FAQ page covering all locations we serve. If you are unsure about the pick-up arrangements, please contact us before making your booking.

c) Course lesson times will be arranged directly between you and your driving instructor. We cannot guarantee the availability of specific time slots.

5.) Cancellation or Postponement:

By placing a booking, you agree that we will begin providing services without delay, such as reserving your instructor, sending study materials, or arranging your theory test. As our work starts immediately, you acknowledge that all fees are non-refundable. Please note that while consumers normally have 14 days to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, this right does not apply once services have begun.

a) Any changes in dates or times made with your instructor will be agreed upon between you and the instructor for your course. Pass In Days will not be responsible for any hours lost or omitted due to changes made to your original booking. The booking fee covers the placement of a booking for the original date only.

b) If the course date booked cannot proceed due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., lockdowns, vehicle breakdown, etc.), you will be able to reschedule your course start date with your instructor at no additional charge, or we will reallocate you to another instructor (subject to availability). While the booking fee will not be refunded, it will be transferred to the new date.

c) Any requests to change the course date, gearbox type, or make other amendments to the original booking must be made no later than 4 weeks prior to the course start date. These changes are also subject to a £180 (£150 + VAT) rebooking fee.

6.) Legal Requirements:

a) Before starting the course, pupils must meet all the DVSA legal requirements for learning to drive. For more information, visit the DVSA website at https://www.gov.uk/browse/driving/learning-to-drive. If you have any doubts, please contact the DVSA directly.

b) A valid photocard of the provisional driving licence for the UK must be provided. Clients must bring a copy of their driver’s records on the first day. Instructions on how to print these records are available on our “Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ” page, as well as on the DVSA website. Failure to present these documents will result in the lesson not proceeding, and the lesson time will be lost and non-refundable.

c) If the pupil is unfit to drive or does not meet the DVSA legal requirements, the lesson will be canceled without refunds. The pupil must not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs at any time. If signs of the above are detected by the driving instructor, the remainder of the course will be canceled, and no refund will be provided. The student may also be reported to the police.

7.) All pupils are expected to maintain good behavior and exhibit satisfactory manners throughout the course. Abusive behavior, physical damage, or unseemly conduct towards the instructor or any representative of Pass In Days will not be tolerated and may result in immediate cancellation of the course without refund. Additionally, the responsible pupil will be liable for any damage or financial shortfalls.  Furthermore, we reserve the right to report such behaviour to relevant authorities or professional bodies, including the DVSA and driving instructor associations, where appropriate. In doing so, we may share limited and necessary personal data (such as the pupil’s name and a description of the incident), when justified by legitimate interest, safety concerns or regulatory requirements.

8.) The tuition vehicle must be treated with care and respect. Any intentional or malicious damage will be the responsibility of the pupil.

9.) Any waiting time will be considered driving time, such as waiting at a theory test center or traveling to and from the practical test center.

10.) Driving Test

a.) Courses do not include a driving test, are responsible for booking your own driving test & scheduling it with your instructor. You can book your driving test via the DVSA website.

Driving test waiting times are currently very long. There are many learners and not enough examiners. Many test centres show no driving tests available this year.

If you regularly check the DVSA website for cancellations, and put in consistent effort, you can often find a driving test cancellation.

The actual speed of finding a test will depend on your efforts and DVSA availability.

When booking your test, you also need to contact your allocated instructor, to make sure their vehicle is available for your test.

Instructors usually need 2-3 days to reply to any messages due to their busy schedules, therefore it’s easier to book a test (providing it’s not a “short notice” test and you still have time to cancel it) and message your instructor to see if their vehicle is available.

If the instructor is not available (or does not confirm availability on time), please cancel your test and continue looking for another more suitable date & once you find one, again check with the instructor.  Here you can find more detailed guidance on cancelling driving tests.

b) While every effort will be made by your instructor, if the pupil fails to reach a satisfactory standard of driving or poses a risk to themselves, third parties, or property, we reserve the right to refuse to present the pupil for a test. No refunds will be provided.

c) If the pupil fails their driving test, or fails to achieve the standard to sit their test, they can make additional arrangements with their instructor to continue with lessons on a pay-as-you-go basis (subject to instructor availability). The pupil is then responsible for booking another driving test attempt through the DVSA website.

11.) Claims, Disputes & Refunds:

a) Pass In Days cannot be held responsible for any expenses incurred if the DVSA cancels a test. In such cases, all complaints should be directed solely to the DVSA.

b) Pass In Days cannot be held responsible for any expenses incurred if the course is canceled or unavailable due to unexpected circumstances such as weather, vehicle failure, driving instructor unavailability, and others.

c) Any disputes, claims, or issues related to the driving course’s balance payment should be addressed with the driving instructor. Pass In Days cannot be held liable for any compensation claims from either the instructor or the student, nor can it be held responsible for any traffic law violations committed by either the instructor or the student. Complaints about an instructor must be made to the instructor first. If not resolved, the complaint must be made to the DVSA instructors team since all instructors are regulated by DVSA: https://www.gov.uk/complain-about-a-driving-instructor.

d) False Complaints and Misconduct:

If a customer or their representative makes a false or misleading complaint against an instructor, with the intent to receive unjust benefits (such as free lessons, refunds, or other forms of compensation), Pass In Days reserves the right to terminate services with the customer, including a ban from future services.

In such cases, the customer will not be entitled to a refund of any booking fees or other payments made.

All complaints are taken seriously and will be thoroughly investigated to ensure fair and transparent procedures.

e) Any complaints regarding processing of your booking, must be submitted online, through this website: co.uk/Complaint

We aim to respond to complaints received within 30 calendar days.

12.) In the interest of safety, pupils must follow the instructor’s directions and instructions at all times. Failure or inability to comply with instructions, in the interest of safety will result in the forfeiture of the course.

13.) After successfully passing your test, your instructor may ask if you would like to take a photograph for use on our website or social media. Providing a photo is entirely voluntary. If you agree, you grant us permission to use the photo for promotional purposes. If you do not wish to take or share a photo, simply let your instructor know – there will be no impact on your course or services.

14.) Pass In Days reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. Please check this website regularly for updates.

15.) Contact:

a) Once we progress your booking, we will provide updates via email, such as your driving instructor details and driving test details. If you fail to respond or act on our requests, you will be responsible for any consequences, such as missing a driving test date, course date and other similar.

b) Your driving instructor may contact you by phone or email. It is important to respond to them promptly (within 48 hours). If you anticipate being unavailable, please inform your driving instructor of the suitable ways to contact you. Pass In Days cannot be held responsible for any bookings lost due to communication issues.

16.) Statutory Rights:

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions affects your statutory rights under UK law.

10-Day Course

(For beginners or those starting fresh)

Who would benefit most from this course?

This course is intended for individuals with little to no driving experience and includes a total of 40 hours.

The 10-day course is most suitable for clients who meet one of the following:

  • have taken driving lessons, but still feel the need to start “from scratch”;

Please note, learning to drive is a very individual process and you might need additional lessons after your course, if you are not safe & test ready.

Intensive driving courses are a great way to learn quickly, but they may not suit everyone. If you prefer a slower pace or find long sessions (around 4 hours a day) tiring, you might benefit more from regular lessons.

These courses require focus and energy, as the fast progress and upcoming test can feel demanding. However, with motivation and good concentration, many learners find them an excellent way to achieve success in a short time.

(For those who know the basics)

Who would benefit most from this course?

With a total duration of 30 hours, this course is suitable for clients who meet one of the following:

  • have taken a driving test within the past 4-10 years, but failed

Participants in this course should have a grasp of basic skills, including clutch control, moving off and stopping, dealing with easy junctions, progressive braking, gears, and easy hill starts.

  • have experience driving various vehicles (e.g. farm vehicles) on private land from a young age, are comfortable with car control, and just need experience on main roads;
