Driving lessons Finglas
Driving lessons in Finglas, from your door
Book a lesson and your instructor collects you from home, college or work anywhere in Finglas, then drops you back after. Pick-up is in the price, so the hour you pay for is an hour of driving.
You learn on the roads you will be tested on. Early lessons stay on the quiet streets near home while the clutch, gears and mirrors become second nature. Then we move out onto Finglas Road, the North Road and the roundabouts around them, at a pace that suits you, not a set script.
Finglas has its own driving test centre, on Jamestown Road, about 1 km from the middle of Finglas. When your test is booked, pretest lessons run on the routes around the centre you are sent to, and on the day you sit the test in the car you learned in, with car hire included for €183.63.
Every learner needs twelve EDT lessons with an RSA-approved instructor before the test. We take them in order, sign your logbook as you go, and tell you straight where you are, so you never pay for hours you do not need. A single lesson is €53.27 and the full EDT course is €587.95.

FAQ
Driving lessons in Finglas: your questions
How much are driving lessons in Finglas?
A single lesson is €53.27 in a manual or €61.41 in an automatic. The 12-lesson EDT course is €587.95 manual or €659.24 automatic, and a pretest lesson with car hire for the test is €183.63. Pick-up and drop-off are in every price.
Where is the Finglas driving test centre?
On Jamestown Road, in Jamestown Business Park (D11 TDE9), about 1 km from the middle of Finglas. Book a pretest lesson and we drive the routes around it with you before the day, then you sit the test in the same car. The next nearest centre is Mulhuddart (Maple House), about 5.6 km away.
How do I choose a driving school in Finglas?
Ask three things before you pay. Is the instructor RSA-approved, so your EDT lessons count. Is pick-up in the price or charged on top. And will they tell you straight when you are not ready for the test. Here the answer is yes to all three.
Do you do automatic driving lessons in Finglas?
Yes, anywhere we cover, for EDT and pretest alike. One thing to know before you book: if you sit the test in an automatic, the licence you get is automatic only.
Can I book a female driving instructor?
Yes. Ask when you ring and we will put you with one of our female instructors for your EDT or your pretest lessons.
Do you collect me, or do I meet you somewhere?
We collect. Pick-up and drop-off from your home, college or work is part of the lesson across every area we cover, so the hour you pay for is an hour of driving.
What is the EDT, and do I have to do it?
Essential Driver Training is 12 lessons the Road Safety Authority requires every learner to complete with an approved instructor before sitting the test. They are logged in a book your instructor signs as you go, and there is no way round them.
Can I buy lessons as a present?
Yes. Gift vouchers come as 1, 3, 6 or 12 lessons, manual or automatic, as a personalised PDF you can print or forward. Make one on the gift vouchers page, or ring the office.
