FastLicense: driving instructor search in Brighton, Hove and Portslade

FastLicense is a service that connects learner drivers with local DVSA-approved instructors in the Brighton, Hove and Portslade area. The company presents itself as part of the FastADI group and operates through its website fastlicense.co.uk. Its proposition is to handle the search and calls to instructors, saving the learner the hassle of managing it directly.

How the service works

The process is divided into three steps. First, the learner states their requirements: area, transmission type, preferred days and times. Then FastLicense calls local instructors to check real availability. Finally, the learner receives a match with an instructor within a maximum of 14 days. The company states that most matches happen within 24 hours.

Geographic coverage

The service covers Brighton, Hove and Portslade, with specific attention to Brighton city centre (BN1), its junctions and busy streets. The website also mentions the areas of Kemptown, Preston Park, Woodingdean and Portslade, as well as the A27 and A23 roads and the South Downs area. The company says it works with local instructors and knows the local test centres.

Guarantee and pricing

FastLicense charges a one-off fee of £29.99, not per lesson, with secure payment via Stripe. If it does not find an instructor within 14 days, the learner receives a full refund. The company describes this guarantee as "100% guaranteed" and notes that most learners find an instructor within 24 hours. The site includes an application form that collects details such as postcode, transmission, total hours, weekly hours, preferred days and times, start date, whether the test is already booked, test centre and its date and time.

Instructor profile

FastLicense states that all instructors it matches learners with are Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) registered with the DVSA. The company describes them as experienced and qualified, selected according to the learner's criteria.

User reviews

The site shows Google reviews with a 5 out of 5 rating. Featured testimonials include one that says they were matched with an instructor within 24 hours, another that mentions passing first time with fewer than 18 hours of lessons, and a third that found an automatic transmission instructor in Hove in under ten days.
