“I'm so pleased to have found CarCaptain”
Written on: 14/05/2013
I felt very disheartened by the time I'd found CarCaptain and passing the driving practical test seemed a million miles away, thankfully they delivered what they promised and I've since passed! CarCaptain were helpful and extremely efficient, they dealt with my needs and requests without a hitch. I was placed with an instructor who was experienced and competent and provided lots of support and encouragement. When it came to booking the course, it was extremely quick, which was what I was...

“Amazing - passed 1st time!”
Written on: 07/05/2013
I passed my driving test in Pinner on 30th April - first time with only 3 minors! I had put off driving lessons for over 7 years, especially as my theory test had expired I didn't think I would ever learn to drive. Due to some difficult circumstances in life I finally found the courage and re-took my theory, passed and on the same day came across CarCaptain on the internet and decided to do an intensive course. I had already taken 20 hours or so in the past and so, after speaking to... (read more)

“Save money and time!”
Written on: 24/04/2013 by Qinw
I think Carcaptain have many good instructors. The intensive course achieved my aim, to pass my first time test in a short time. This kind of course saved my time and money. My instructor Johan is really good. I think i was well prepared for the test. He made me relaxed for the drive, I think this is very important for a candicate who is close to the test date. And also their service is efficient, they can find what u want. I am very happy with my first time pass. (read more)

“Guaranteed Pass Course”
Written on: 03/04/2013
In looking for a driving school to prepare for the practical test, I came across the Guaranteed Pass course offered by Car Captain. After contacting the company and having taken my evaluation course, i was offered two separate course packages (intensive training and the guaranteed pass). I made the wise choice with the guaranteed pass course. The training I received was exceptional and consisted of: - Thorough explanations of the all required driving maneuvers. - Excellent training methods... (read more)

Carcaptain are brilliant. To be honest at first I was very sceptical as it did look too good to be true but I had nothing to worry about. All the staff were very friendly from the back office staff to my instructor/examiner. I undertook my theory and practical test with carcaptain and had my licence within 2-3 weeks!! Although I had a lot of prior experience they helped me get over my nerves in regards to the exam and iron out those bad habits. I would deffo recommend carcaptain to ANYONE!!... (read more)

I needed to learn to drive but would have found it hard taking conventional lessons because of work so a friend suggested I try an intensive driving course. After looking around on the internet I contacted Car Captain, they had quite a few really good reviews online. Prices were ocmpetitive and better than almost all the others I had found during my search. They were able to fit me in when I wanted which was important because I only had a week to complete it due to work commitments. I was... (read more)

I live between Tenerife and the UK. Because of this I had very tight time constraints and chose an intensive course of 40hours. CarCaptain were able to provide a course completely tailored to me. I was assigned an excellent instructor, Larkland Daley who is tough as nails on instruction and an absolute pleasure to learn from, I have him to thank for a 1st time pass! Snow managed to disrupt both my lessons and test date, but between Larkland and CarCaptain i was quickly reassigned lessons and... (read more)

The instructor, I believe his name was Thaya, was excelent, very calm and not over reacting, although sometimes not loud enough :). I have been driving for over 40 years, but on the wrong side of the road, so I thought I would try taking the driving test without instruction, WRONG decision, besides costing £62 for the test, I failed with 6 S marks, one is enough to fail, and 14 minor . After only a 2 and half weeks with CarCaptain I passed may test with only two minor, much better than the... (read more)

Thanks car captain, appriciate all the effort in finding me an exam in such a short amount of time. My driving instructor was a very good teacher,Make sure to ask for David if ever need one, he fixed my Driving to match perfectly the examiners requests.

After a few hours of lessons with other instructors, I wanted to pass quickly so I called Carcaptain.

Written on: 12/06/2012 by my_ipsc
Having a driving license from abroad, I never thought of obtaining a UK one. After all, I never intended to own or drive a car in the UK. Recently, I found out that many of the 'smaller' car rental companies would only rent out to UK/EU drivers. As I was having some spare time during my breaks, I was wondering maybe I should get a UK licence. It would give me the opportunity to rent a car and visit the countryside or further out with the added convenience of the car. What better a way to... (read more)

Something that not many people like to do with driving is guarantee anything. Most people will promise their best efforts (my first 2 instructors did) but that didn’t make me a driver. “Best efforts” got me two failed tests and the belief that driving was something that would forever be out of my grasp. But Car Captain will guarantee success. Their Guaranteed Pass course means that it’s in their interests as well as your own to make you the best driver you can be as quickly as... (read more)
