Manual & automatic cars for hire
Hourly car hire -
from 1 to 4 hours

Dunfermline Dual Control Car Hire offers a range of manual and automatic vehicles, equipped with dual controls, available for hourly rental. Designed for provisional licence holders, our cars ensure a safe learning environment whilst you are accompanied by a full licence holder.
While professional driving lessons are a great way to prepare for your test, they can be expensive and come at a significant cost. With the UK average being 45 hours of formal lessons and 22 hours of private practice before taking the test, coupled with local hourly rates ranging anywhere between £40 to £45, the total expense can quickly add up!
At Dunfermline Dual Control Car Hire we believe that you can Learn for Less by using our dual control cars for your learning journey. Our vehicles are also available for use during your driving test.
