Manual Driving Lessons
Learn to Drive with Confidence in a Manual Car
Manual lessons are ideal if you want the freedom to drive both manual and automatic cars once you’ve passed your test. You’ll learn clutch control, smooth gear changes and hill starts on familiar local routes, with clear explanations so each new skill feels manageable rather than overwhelming. Lessons are also available in English, Lithuanian and conversational Russian.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or moving over from automatic lessons, sessions are paced around your confidence and previous experience. With flexible options for pay‑as‑you‑go, block bookings and intensive courses, it’s easy to build your manual skills alongside work, college or family life. Manual lessons are available on request, subject to the vehicle being appropriately insured.
For non-beginners, if you have your own car in perfect condition, lessons can also be provided in your vehicle for manual training to help you become fully test-ready.
