# Drive with Martin - Business Description
Drive with Martin is a driving instruction service based in Plymouth, operated by Martin Regan, a DSA-approved instructor with over 20 years of experience. The business specialises in providing affordable, high-quality driving lessons to learner drivers aged 17 and above, with Martin having taught pupils ranging from teenagers to octogenarians.
Martin's approach focuses on developing pupils to a high standard, maximising their chances of passing their practical driving test first time. Rather than making unrealistic guarantees, he emphasises that success depends on individual learners demonstrating their acquired skills during the actual test.
The business stands out through several distinctive features. Martin maintains membership with both the National Driving Instructors Association and the Local Approved Professional Driving Instructors Association, demonstrating professional credibility. He is also a qualified Passplus instructor, offering advanced driver training beyond basic test preparation.
For learners preferring female instruction, Martin partners with Rachel, who holds the best female pass rate in Plymouth, extending the business's service options.
Lessons take place in a modern Ford Focus 1.5 Turbo Diesel, a practical 5-door vehicle suitable for learning. The pricing structure offers genuine affordability, with block bookings providing better value—particularly the 10-lesson package at £290, significantly cheaper per lesson than individual sessions.
Payment is straightforward (cash or cheque only), with block bookings payable upfront. This established, long-standing instructor represents a reliable choice for serious learners in the Plymouth area.
