RED Driving School is one of the biggest driving schools which has its benefits for our learners, especially for learners looking for automatic driving instructors.
The traditional approach in the UK has been to learn on a manual transmission. However, with the rising popularity of automatic cars—and a growing demand for automatic car driving lessons—more learners are choosing to get their license on an automatic vehicle.
At RED, we understand that more learners are choosing automatic driving lessons than ever before. Automatic cars are simpler to operate as there are no gear changes, allowing you to focus more on road awareness and less on gear changes. Our expertly trained automatic car instructors guide you through every step, making it easier to build confidence quickly and become a safe, skilled driver.
At RED, we have a large pool of automatic vehicles available to our driving instructors to do automatic driving lessons. By having a large pool of cars, we can be much quicker than other schools at getting a new car. This limits the impact on our RED learners and reduces the risks of there not being a car available for critical lessons or even your practical test.
Our RED driving instructors are typically trained by us and therefore we’re confident that you’ll receive a premium service, which is focused around a client-centred approach. This means the driving instructor will get to know your style of learning – for example when learning a new skill, you might prefer to watch someone else perform it, and then replicate it, or you may prefer to just have a go and let the instructor give you advice and feedback.
As one of the largest driving schools in the UK, we pride ourselves on offering a premium service. But don’t just take our word for it! RED has been voted driving school of the year two years in a row by Intelligent Instructor a leading independent news and events company in the driver training market. Plus we ask for feedback from our learners, not only to understand their experience, but to improve our service moving forward. Therefore we are extremely proud of our 4.7/5 rating on Trustpilot from over 15,000 reviews.
Less time needed to pass than the national average.

Many learners find automatic lessons simpler since you won’t need to focus on clutch control or shifting gears. This can allow you to concentrate more on road skills, hazard perception, and safe driving habits.
If you pass your test in an automatic car, your license will only allow you to drive automatics. To drive a manual, you would need to take additional lessons in a manual car and pass the manual driving test.
You can book lessons online 24/7 through the RED website or by calling our customer support team. Choose “automatic” when selecting your lesson type, and you’ll be matched with an available instructor in your area.
RED has a large pool of automatic vehicles and instructors, so if your instructor is unavailable due to an emergency, we’ll work quickly to match you with another instructor or car to minimize disruptions to your learning.
