It shouldn&#x27;t cost anything like £3,000. I  finally got around to learning to drive 3 years ago as I was moving to the US. All in all it cost maybe £600.<p>Driving license: £50
Theory test: £25
Practical test: £62
20 lessons @ £20&#x2F;hour: £400.<p>Look for an independent instructor, they&#x27;re cheaper and usually have more experience than the ones in the big chain driving schools.<p>Even if you don&#x27;t plan to own a car straight away, a few years down the line you&#x27;ll find your insurance is cheaper just because you&#x27;ve held your license for several years.
