Every November, inboxes overflow with “once-a-year” deals. But not every offer actually changes your life. This one can.
Right now, The Best Intensive is giving learners across Norwich £100 off every intensive driving course. It’s our biggest seasonal saving, and it lands at exactly the moment smart learners start planning for next year.
If you’ve been thinking about passing your test, this is your nudge. Booking in November means you can hit the ground running in the early 2026 months and be fully licensed before summer. Skip the New Year rush, save a chunk of cash, and learn while everyone else is still searching for instructors.
Let’s look at why Black Friday really is the best time to book, what this offer includes, and how you can use it to finally tick “get my licence” off your 2026 goals list.

Why Black Friday Is the Best Time to Book Driving Lessons
Most people associate Black Friday with gadgets or trainers, not driving courses. Yet it’s one of the smartest moments to invest in learning to drive. Here’s why.
You beat the January booking crunch – Every year, January explodes with new learners. Test centres fill up, instructors’ diaries stretch for weeks, and lesson prices edge upward. If you book now, you sidestep that chaos.
You lock in 2024 prices for 2025 training – Fuel costs, insurance, and exam fees keep creeping up. A Black Friday booking freezes your rate before the new-year adjustments hit.
You actually commit – Most learners spend months “thinking about” lessons. Paying a small deposit, with a tidy £100 discount, turns that thought into action. When you’ve booked and scheduled your course, motivation replaces procrastination.
You plan around your life, not the other way round – By reserving early, you can pick dates that suit your uni timetable, work holidays, or Norwich weather (fewer icy mornings never hurt).
So yes, you’re saving money, but you’re also buying peace of mind!
What You Get When You Book with The Best Intensive
Not every “intensive” course lives up to its name. Ours are structured to help learners build confidence quickly and safely, whether you’re tackling your first lesson or brushing up for a retest.
Tailored Course Options
We offer flexible lengths, from fast-track packages to longer courses spread over a couple of weeks, across Norwich. Each includes:
- DVSA-approved instructors.
- Mock-test routes covering Norwich test centres.
- Theory test preparation if you haven’t passed yet.
- Pick-up and drop-off at convenient local points.
Expert Instructors Who Actually Live Locally
Our instructors know every tricky roundabout and back-street shortcut. They’ll teach you how to handle the ring-roads, the dual carriageways, bends and backroads, with calm, steady confidence.
Support From Booking to Pass
From the moment you click Book now, our team helps arrange everything: Theory test, practical test slot, and lesson schedule…so you’re not juggling admin on your own.
Local Advantage: Why Norwich Learners Should Book Early
Booking early isn’t just about saving money. Norwich has its own quirks that make forward planning essential.
Winter Slots Vanish Fast
Norwich’s test centres book up weeks ahead once frost hits. Instructors limit early-morning tests because of icy roads. Securing your course during the Black Friday sale means you can pick ideal daylight slots in late winter or early spring.
Real Roads, Real Challenges
Learning in Norwich isn’t just about quiet suburbs. The mix of medieval streets, dual carriageways, and countryside lanes offers priceless experience. Booking with local instructors ensures you practise exactly where you’ll be tested.
Save Now, Drive Later
You don’t need to start lessons this week to claim the £100 discount. Book during the sale, choose your preferred start date and your saving stays locked in.
The Numbers: How the £100 Saving Actually Adds Up
Let’s say you book our 20-hour intensive course, normally £999. With the Black Friday discount, it’s £899.
That’s an instant £100 back in your pocket…roughly the cost of:
- Two tanks of fuel once you’ve passed.
- A year’s worth of car washes!
- Or a celebratory weekend trip to the coast in your newly-earned freedom machine.
Multiply that across higher-hour courses, and the savings speak for themselves.
Case Study: Ella from Norwich
Ella, 22, recently booked her course after spotting the Black Friday promotion.
“I’d been putting off booking a driving course for ages because it felt expensive,” she says. “When I saw the £100 discount, I just went for it. I’ve booked a 10-day course for January, and hope that by February I might have my licence! If I’d waited until after Christmas to book, I’d have probably been on a waiting list, had to spend more and wouldn’t feel as motivated as I do now, knowing that I’ve bagged a great deal and I have something to look forward to in the New Year! “
Booking Confidence: Your Money Is Safe
A good deal should never mean taking risks with your deposit. All payments made during our Black Friday sale are covered by The Best Intensive’s standard refund and reschedule policy. If your plans change, we’ll move your course dates without charging a fee…you keep the discount.
We also don’t overbook. Every learner has a dedicated instructor slot confirmed before payment.
Why Early Booking Sets You Up for 2026
Learning to drive isn’t only about the licence. It’s about timing your independence. Book this November and you’ll:
- Beat the rush. January and February are the busiest test-centre months of the year.
- Save money. You lock in your £100 discount plus current course rates before any yearly increases.
- Plan ahead. Choose lesson blocks that fit around your studies, holidays, or job schedule.
- Build confidence early. Starting in winter means you’ll experience darker evenings and varied conditions…the best real-world training possible.
By early 2026 you could already be driving to work, uni, or even a holiday in your own car. Hows that for ticking off a New Year’s resolution early?!
How to Claim the Black Friday Discount
