Ashford Borough in Kent, Southeast England, incorporates a variety of environments, encompassing urban centers, suburban districts, and rural villages. The key towns include Ashford, a major commercial hub, and historic market towns like Tenterden and Rye. Ashford Borough has a rich past, reflected in its medieval castles and churches.
For learner drivers, navigating Ashford Borough demands awareness of its diverse road structures. Ashford town itself has a network of roads, including the busy M20 motorway and the A28 trunk road. These roads offer clear lane markings and good visibility, but expect traffic congestion during peak hours. In contrast, navigating the villages involves maneuvering along narrow country lanes with limited passing places and potential blind bends. Farms are common, so be mindful of slow-moving agricultural vehicles and animals crossing the road. Speed limits vary throughout the borough, so close attention to signage is essential. Finally, parking options can be limited in some town centers, so plan maneuvering accordingly.
If you’ve been lucky enough to secure a canceled driving test you’ll need an instructor to accompany you on the day. It can be quite challenging to find a last-minute driving instructor, in Ashford borough as most of them are fully booked months in advance.
In the United Kingdom, it is the responsibility of the learner driver to arrange a car for their driving test. This vehicle can. Be owned by their instructor. Rented, but if it’s a rental car it must have dual controls. However, it’s worth noting that major car rental companies like Hertz, Enterprise, and Sixt generally do not allow their vehicles to be used for driving tests. If the examiner suspects that you’re using a car they may ask for proof of insurance. Contact the rental company to verify your coverage.

At DTC Driving School in Ashford , we offer both manual cars for your driving test. The decision on which type of transmission you prefer is entirely up, to you.
Driving automatic cars makes it easier, during the test since you don’t have to deal with gears and the clutch. However, if you pass your test in an automatic you won’t be able to drive a car on.

I had a great experience with Best Driving School, they found me an excellent teacher, and booked my test at a convenient time - I was able to pass first time. I highly recommend DTC. Thanks
Definitely recommendable. A big shout out to my instructor who helped me build my confidence to pass my practical exam. Not to mention how he was honest by telling me. I have paid extra than I should have and saved me from unnecessary spending. I can’t say thank you enough for making all the arrangement, from finding me the perfect instructor to booking the earliest exam possible. If you booked for a early test than contact DTC Driving School. Highly recommend DTC intensive driving course in Ashford.
Passed my practical first time today with Shak as my instructor. Great instructor wouldn’t have done it without him. Thank you DTC to make my skills on driving and make me a good driver.
Thank you so much DTC for helping me pass my driving test, honestly it has been such a very long and stressful journey but we got there in the end. I want to thank my instructor. She is so lovely and funny but also very attentive to my enquiries! She assigned me to my driving instructor who helped me boost my confidence in driving, without them I wouldn’t have had the confidence to take my test! Once again, if anyone who is in need for a fast booking for test day, DTC is the one to go! Or even starting out driving, this is the place to come! Thank you so much DTC for helping me!
