AVOID ** update following posting review** - after trying to obtain instructor details from the company to raise a formal complaint - Shaq DTC proceeded to ring me up personally, threatening shouting abuse to tell me several times to “f*** off, and f*** you and that if I want to go to war then I should ring my solicitors” absolutely disgusting and shocking way to speak to a customer.

Horrendous company - avoid at all costs! Have raised the below with them and they refuse to do anything, told me to “seek legal help” after trying to resolve.

First - Tahira Ali turned up over 10 minutes late. I received a call from her at 2:37, frantically trying to find the driving test centre, and she was asking me for directions to the point we had to drive out of the test centre to find her, direct her to the centre & then didn’t ultimately drive off until around 2:45. This isn’t acceptable considering, I ensured to provide myself ample time (coming 50 mins from my city also) to try find the test centre and to be on time.

Second - the car was not fit for purpose. The steering wheel was misaligned with the tyre function. I remember explaining to Tahira that the steering wheel felt slack & the power steering felt off and it wasn’t aligned with where I was trying to go. When her car was parked & the wheels straight, the car wheel was facing in the complete opposite direction. The car did not feel safe to drive.

Thirdly - It was extremely clear that Tahira smoked in her car. The car smelled of cigarette smoke to the point I had to roll the window down the whole time during our lesson. After completing a review, this is illegal. Her vehicle is considered a workplace vehicle, therefore as an instructor taking pupils, she should not be smoking in the car she’s taking pupils out in and this was evident.

Tahira went on her phone several times during her lesson - not properly paying attention to the lesson and giving it her full attention.

I believe the combination of these things didn’t exactly put me at ease yesterday when trying to drive her car and subsequently then had to miss my test.

The car / instructor were not fit for purpose. Therefore, the service provided was not delivered.

This company prays on the fact that you are getting a last minute service and will therefore make you pay a premium, provide you with an inadequate vehicle, then do nothing about it.

They sorted out an instructor and car with less than 24 hours left for the test. The instructor himself was also very good and let me work on my weaknesses prior to the test, and was honest with what I could do better so I can avoid it in the test immediately following the lesson.

Ended up passing first time, very pleased.

Looking for a reliable, friendly and supportive instructor then look no further! Anisha was an absolute gem was very helpful and easy going. The team at DTC was very helpful over the phone I needed a car and instructor asap and they delivered as promise 5stars all day long. Passed first time!

The process from contacting and booking with DTC, through the one hour pre-test session with Rani and use of the car was excellent.
Rani was polite and professional and her advice and instruction resulted in a test pass.

Spoke to Shakt as I took an emergency out of London test (by accident via the DVSA booking app) and needed an emergency instructor.

Shakt put me through to Sumeera, who actually did lessons close to my area but ultimately was willing to take me to my test which was at 7:13am by the way.

The prompt and responsive service gave me that peace of mind a week away from my exam and had extra top-up lessons before the exam with her, she was strict and identified weaknesses in my driving, she drilled discipline and has her own unique style of ‘hands-off’ independent driving, with close supervision where needed.

I passed my test but I’ll always be grateful she took the gamble with me, doing a test with less than a weeks notice leaving London at 5am to get to our test centre.

Seemed crazy, but working together we got the result.

Great service in providing an instructor for test taken outside of my local area. Prompt responses and straight forward arrangement, clarity in costs and a seamless experience. Very good job 👍

I had very pleasant experience with the team where they have acted so quick and very responsible to make sure that everything which I expect on the exam date are in order. So grateful for their responsiveness.

Rani is an excellent instructor, straight to the point and none of the philosophical stuff you get with some others. She’s all about getting you ready to pass the test and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Smooth service driving was early for my 1 hour session, went through all the car details that was asked during the exam. I booked this last min and was assigned a driving instructor straight away

I couldn’t recommend this driving school highly enough! From the very first lesson, my instructor was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive. They explained everything clearly and always made sure I was confident before moving on to the next step. The lessons were well-structured and tailored to my needs, which really helped me progress quickly and feel prepared for the test. Thanks to their guidance and encouragement, I passed my driving test the first time!

I'm truly grateful to DTC for arranging a last-minute car for my driving test today. I made the booking two weeks ahead, and my instructor, Mr. Ray Reid, was both highly experienced and incredibly encouraging. His support during the final mock test gave me the confidence I needed—and I'm thrilled to say I passed on my first attempt. I highly recommend DTC for anyone preparing for their driving exam!

I paid money, test wasnt taken! I lost that whole money. I need a refund otherwise i will complain

Hi there,

Review for DTC & Ken Cross

I just passed my driving test, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Ken Cross and the excellent DTC service! Ken is an amazing instructor—by far the best I’ve met. In just two lessons, he built a strong connection with me, which made me feel supported, confident, and fully prepared for the test.

Ken’s teaching style is clear, calm, and motivating. He knows exactly how to guide and encourage you, no matter your skill level. His ability to explain things in a way that clicks is truly impressive.

The DTC service was also outstanding—smooth, professional, and very helpful in getting me booked and ready for the test. Everything was well organized, and it made the whole experience stress-free.

Thank you, Ken, and thank you to the DTC team for helping me pass! Great job all around!

Sumeera is amazing! The best driving instructor. I love her style she is funny and firm because she understands the importance of us passing! I would definitely recommend her!

I was bail out for my practical driving test when I needed them most because my instructor is hospitalized at the last days to my test.
Thank you so much for this

I was not able to find the instructor for me at the last moment who can give lesson and provide car on test day. But when I contacted them within 2 days I get the instructor ( Frank ) and I also passed today.

Not reliable at all. Booked and made payment. Promised an instructor and vehicle for the DVSA road test day. After 3 days I was told they couldn't find an instructor and vehicle and was refunded.

DTC Driving School provided me with a car hire and two professional lessons right before my driving test, and I couldn’t be more grateful. A huge thank you to my instructor, Manisha, who was incredibly supportive and professional. She helped me polish everything up, caught onto my minor mistakes quickly, and explained them clearly and thoroughly. Her guidance made all the difference and gave me the confidence I needed to pass. Highly recommend their services!

DTC driving school definitely deserves 5 stars. They found me a driving instructor with very short notice and were really helpful. My instructor Rani was absolutely brilliant. She was calm, friendly and very helpful. I only had 10 lessons with her and she helped me to correct my weaknesses and to improve my driving skills massively. I passed my test thanks to Rani and would highly recommend her to anyone.
