Specify the teaching requirements

Consider transmission, seating and visibility, dual-control compatibility, pupil accessibility and the journeys you teach. A low monthly payment is only one part of the comparison.

For an EV, model charging access and time between lessons as well as energy cost.

Read the commercial conditions

Check mileage allowances, servicing, tyres, insurance, replacement cars and early-return terms. A standard hire car may not be suitable for paid tuition or tests.

Plan for breakdowns and damage

Know who provides the replacement, whether it has suitable controls and what happens to booked lessons. Keep maintenance and recall checks up to date without treating a past MOT as a guarantee of current condition.
