There is a general shortage of driving instructors in the UK.

There is a shortage of driving instructors in the Scottish Borders.

To discuss starting a franchise with Borders Driving School

Due to the ever increasing cost of fuel and running a business we are raising our fees effective from 1st May 2019.

This is the first increase in two years.

Single lesson £30

Block of 5 lessons £135

PassPlus £200

Students already undergoing training will not have their fees increased.

Hugh Vass has been one of our outstanding driving instructors since 2008. Eleven years of excellent training and many hundreds of new drivers given the skills they need to pass their driving test and more importantly become safe drivers on our ever increasingly busy roads.

Now; however he is retiring and taking a well deserved opportunity to wind down, relax and follow his other interests and pursuits. We wish him well for the future and extend a very warm thank you for maintaining his own high standards and those of Borders Driving School. 

Hugh will see all his current students through to their driving test but will not be taking on any new students. So you will still see his car, with the Borders sign board on the roof, for a while longer.

Once again Hugh, thank you for eleven years of excellent professional training.

Gordon Gibson and Borders Driving School have parted ways.

Gordon no longer holds a franchise with Borders Driving School and no longer represents in any way Borders Driving School or any of its franchisees.

We can now take credit and debit card payments in car with the new mobile card terminal. So you don’t need to rush to the bank before your lesson or carry loads of cash.
Not all of our instructors have decided to take cards so check before hand with your individual instructor for ways that they can accept payment.

The DSA has moved all its web sites to the overarching DirectGov website.
All the links on our website have now been updated to ensure that you are taken to the correct page.

Links include:
