Yes. No.1 Driver School offers test-day car hire and mock tests immediately before your official exam, so you arrive confident and familiar with the route.

Absolutely. One learner told us they were extremely scared of driving before starting lessons at No.1 Driver School; instructors Jackie and Yang were patient, never critical when mistakes happened, and encouraged them at every turn until confidence built. That supportive, calm approach is consistent across reviews, with instructors picking up errors in a friendly way and keeping the atmosphere relaxed rather than stressful, which nervous beginners need.
