5Day

5Day, intensive driving courses in the UK

5Day is a British driving school that delivers intensive driving courses designed to learn to drive within five days, rather than spreading training over months of weekly lessons. The company presents itself as the original provider of this type of course in the UK and claims to have helped 79,000 learners pass their driving test since 2002.

Training and method

The programme combines twenty hours of individual practical lessons, in a manual or automatic vehicle, without sharing the car with other learners. Daily theory training is included in the course and the company offers support with booking the practical test. Instructors are approved by the DVSA, the British road safety authority.

If the learner does not pass the practical test first time, 5Day offers unlimited corrective lessons at no extra cost, tailored based on the test report.

Coverage and pick-up points

The driving school operates in more than twenty locations across the UK. Learners are picked up at specific points in each city, such as train stations, supermarket car parks or test centres, among others. Locations with a pick-up point include Abergavenny, Birmingham, Brandon, Bristol, Bury St Edmunds, Chelmsford, Colchester, Harrow (northwest London), Ipswich, King's Lynn, Leeds, Lichfield, Manchester, Newport, north London, Norwich, Peterborough, Sidcup (southeast London), Slough, Solihull, south London, St Helens, Thetford, Wakefield, Warrington and west London.

Payment and booking

The company allows the cost of the course to be split via Klarna, with flexible payment options. Booking can be made online or by phone.
