I'm learning with the AA, My instructor is dead nice and it's easy to manage my account online. I used to have BSM ageeees ago but they were a bit pants - I spent ages being shown theory cards when really I just needed to be doing it..

Independent anyday. Mine gave me a huge discount because we got on and was incredibly flexible with money, timing etc. The big companies simply aren't allowed to do things like that because they report to their boss.

Ah I just mean can top up your account online/book your lessons. My first five hours were £95. The rest are more expensive but yeah you get a discount for booking 12hrs +.

try a big well known driving school like aa and bsm. At least they are well known and you can always change instructors with them if you dont like the one you get.
Im not sure what offers they do with regard to block booking lessons though, look on their website or phone them up.

Do not drive with BSM. I know you said money is not a problem, but if you want to be over charged with poor customer care :mad: and lack of decent driving lessons, then go ahead. I would suggest AA, Red or Atlas. AA do good block bookings and Red are reasonable with decent block bookings aswell. I can see your location says London which is why i suggested Atlas, their good up in croydon. And also look for some smaller companies in your local area. They tend to be reasonable and flexible. Just do a google search aswell and call up any drving schools your interested in and they will give you more info on prices for block bookings:smile:

You do realise that BSM is now owned by the AA, don't you? They bought it in January.
