Starting the process of learning to drive in Ireland can be both daunting and costly. There’s so much to figure out between driving lessons, car insurance and the driving test!
With this in mind, and to help you get started while also helping you to manage your costs, AXA has teamed up with the Irish School of Motoring to give young learner drivers an exclusive offer. The offer gives AXA customers access to 12 EDT driving lessons with the ISM for a discounted price of €495.
How many driving lessons do I need in Ireland?
In Ireland, you are required to do 12 EDT driving lessons before applying for a driving test. EDT, or Essential Driver Training is a course of 12 one-hour lessons to teach learner drivers the fundamental skills to drive.
Each one-hour lesson will cover different areas of driving skill and knowledge, so when you’ve completed all 12 lessons you will have the skills necessary to hit the road and practice before you sit your driving test.
How much are driving lessons in Ireland?
Driving lessons are one of the most costly elements of learning to drive for young people. It’s important to do your research to try to find a competitive rate for your driving lessons.
AXA offers young-drivers a discount on driving lessons with the Irish School of Motoring for €495.
Young Driver Insurance
Another perk of AXA’s partnership with the Irish School of Motoring is that if you complete your 12 lessons within 6 months, we’ll discount your insurance by up to €400 if you have your own car insurance policy.
What’s more? If you don’t have your own car yet and wish to become a named driver on somebody else’s policy, we’ll offer you 50% off the additional premium, up to €400.
