Mar 15,2024The driving instructor allocated, Anthony; was great. He was very professional, exceptional kind and thoughtful. He helped me pass in a very stressful situation and I would recommend him to anyone. The booking team in the the office who dealt with my initial call were also professional and there customer care was outstanding.

Mar 14,2024I've had an amazing experience with my instructor Dilip and passed the test on my first try! When I asked DTC for the intensive driving course just a week before my driving test in Enfield, I thought that the likelihood of passing was pretty low. DTC got back to me very quickly and put me in contact with my instructor Dilip Singh. The first thing Dilip did upon meeting me was understand the key issue I was facing - an entire lack of confidence in myself. After seeing me drive for 10 minutes, he said that it'll be a challenge, but he believes in me and that he'll try his best to get me ready for the test. Three days and about 8 hours of lessons later, I went into the test feeling the regular amount of test jitters, but with the confidence of knowing that I'm a good driver. Throughout the test, I stuck to Dilip's advice: relax, stay calm, and take your time. Without Dilip's persistence, honesty and positivity over those three days, I never could've passed. Thank you DTC for putting me in contact with Dilip, and thank you Dilip for believing in me - this is an amazing accomplishment for both of us!

Mar 14,2024DTC managed to get me a test date booked even though my theory ran out shortly and I was working through on shift work. DTC then got me in touch with Manisha Gadday for my driving lessons - I had 25 hours in just under 3 weeks. Manisha was so kind and calm during the lessons, she was patient when I couldn’t grasp a concept fully. Manisha filled me with confidence even when I had none and was able to walk me through things step by step. I’m thankful to Manisha so much for helping me pass my drivers test.

Mar 14,2024I contacted to book an emergency test car with an instructor. First, I was unwilling to make the payments online without seeing any staff or physical office. I was hesitant because I had been disappointed by other agencies on test days before. I sent the payments to both DTC and the instructor online. A professional and helpful instructor, Raj, met me on the test day. Raj gave very useful tips and advice prior to the test. He is punctual, reliable, knowledgeable, and supportive. Regardless of the test’s result, I am happy with the service provided by DTC, and Raj. I have already recommended them to my friends and family.

Mar 13,2024I had to take my driving test on short notice because my instructor couldn't make it. I found DTC through a quick Google search and decided to give them a try. The booking process was easy and the person I spoke with on the phone sounded very professional. I was impressed with the service from start to finish. Rani, my instructor, was extremely supportive and even gave me an extra lesson before the test. She was punctual and efficient, which helped me feel more confident going into the test. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by DTC and would definitely recommend them to others. Thank you!

Mar 08,2024DTC UK is a highly reliable service of high standard and provides driving lessons and car hire whenever required. I had a very good experience with Rani Gadday and she is very competent, helpful and friendly. I highly recommend DTC UK and Rani Gadday.

Mar 08,2024Made it really easy for us as we were given a late test date cancellation. We urgently needed a few lessons and an available teacher at short notice. They managed to do this on two occasions and provided 1st class teachers with a hassle free service

Mar 06,2024I was able to book an instructor last-minute to take a driving exam when another program failed to allocate me an instructor for months. Highly recommend this service.

Mar 05,2024I was looking for my driving test and after Covid find a conveniente location and date for the test was simply impossible. I have been driving overseas for years and need to take the UK driving test to get my license. I contacted DTC as an option to find the test appointment and instructor, they manage to find a conveniente date and location for my test but also allocate a really good instructor Manisha, who was very flexible to allocate my driving lessons but also she was very helpful in giving me all the tips and support that I needed to pass the driving test and I am very happy and grateful with her. Definitely would recommend DTC and Manisha to people that needs a good instructor and help with the driving test appointment. An opportunity for improvement for DTC a better communication of the terms and conditions, in differentiate the allocation of the payments.

Mar 04,2024Wonderful company would highly recommend. I passed first time! All members of staff I communicated with were very friendly and accommodating. My instructor Joe was very nice and calmed my test nerves beforehand. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality of service.

Mar 01,2024I needed a car for my test and I contacted DTC for it. The process of hiring the car with an experienced driver was so smooth and I also got one hour lesson before the test, boosting confidence and also helping me with the points to keep in mind for the test. I highly recommend getting lessons and car hire from DTC.

Feb 26,2024I have been driving for a few years and simply need to take the UK driving test to get my license and I booked my driving lessons just one week before my exam date. Although there was some hiccups with my first instructor (she was actually not available for any lessons throughout the week upon accepting), DTC was very responsive and swift to find me an alternative instructor, Rani Gadday. Rani was very helpful in giving me all the tips I needed to pass the driving test and I am very pleased with her flexibility in time and willingly fit me in her schedule even at very short notice. Definitely would recommend DTC and Rani to people who are in my same shoes.

Feb 26,2024Booked me an instructor who was a no-show and did not take responsibility for it until I got citizen’s advice involved. They said on the phone they would compensate and then lied about it when they assigned another instructor. They cancelled my test without getting my consent first. I’m just glad they refunded my money in part; I had to get the credit card company involved to get the rest of my money (thank God I insisted on paying instructor by credit card and not cash or bank transfer). 2 different times i was yelled at over the phone by 2 different members of their staff! **Updated after your reply.** 7-hour intensive course booked. Your 1st instructor recommended 3 x 2 hourly lessons and 1 on the morning of test. He cancelled one day before 1st lesson and 1 hour before the next attempt even though I had travelled an hour to the agreed location. Who covered/compensated for that cost and time? Your 2nd instructor recommended 4 hours (is this even legal?) and then 2 hours on day of test. I said no to both and we agreed on 2 lessons of 3 hours each (tiring but I was desperate). I booked my first test myself. You asked me to cancel it (after I had contacted Citizens Advice) so you can re-book another one for me as it was too close to the test date for you to find me another instructor. At this point we had wasted over 2 weeks. (I also have evidence of ALL our communication). You didn't not uphold your commitment to provide another instructor at no cost (I still have evidence) and I could not carry on with the 2nd instructor you provided even though she showed up. I spoke to you on the phone and you yelled at me saying "I do not have time for this" and then hung up. Yes I was glad and afterwards agreed to you cancelling the test because I did not want anything to do with your company anymore. Still does not change the fact that you cancelled it without letting me know first. You sent an email after you had cancelled it saying "you can no longer support me and will issue a refund". You refunded the company fees but turned a blind eye and deaf ear to recovering the funds transferred to your instructor even though my contract was with DTC. We can carry this on actually, I did get an email from DVSA customer service asking for evidence if I wanted to continue but I chose not to because I already got my money back myself. Maybe I actually should have, so service providers like yourself can get due sanctions for terrible customer service and causing your customers stress and trauma.

Feb 26,2024I recently completed 6 hours of driving classes with DTC Driving School and passed my test. I must say it was an exceptional experience. My instructor, Manisha, proved to be incredibly detailed and to the point in her teaching style. As an experienced driver of 10+ years, I found her tips to be invaluable and crucial in preparing for the challenging UK driving test. I highly recommend DTC Driving School for anyone seeking comprehensive and effective driving instruction.

Feb 24,2024I had reached out to DTC on a Thursday before a Monday test. I was asked to make a non-refundable deposit (£139) before an instructor/car was assigned to me. Once I made the payment, they did assign me an instructor and gave me his contact information (first name only and phone number) but I had to contact him multiple times before he responded. On Saturday, he finally confirmed that he would be available and the make of the car but also demanded his fee (additional £120) payable immediately in advance. I became a bit nervous that this may be a scam and asked for information that would allow me to confirm his instructor status with the DVSA (e.g., his full name and the postcode that he is registered with the DVSA at). He then refused to work with me and asked me to get a newly assigned instructor. Given the time urgency, I made alternative arrangements (through a friend) for a car. When I contacted DTC for a refund, they refused. So in the end, I got no service but had to pay. If you have an urgent situation and are contacting the DTC, you may have little choice. But the contact I had with the company (and certainly with the instructor) felt a bit sketchy. Buyer Beware.
