OUR STORY
Driveaway was founded in 1989 by a group of Cambridge driving instructors who believed there was a better way. Rather than working for a faceless national franchise, they pooled their expertise and built something different — a school owned and run by the people who work in it.
Over 35 years later, that original spirit lives on. Every instructor who joins Driveaway becomes a shareholder in the business. They have a genuine stake in its success — and in yours.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
A co-operative isn't just a business model — it's a set of values. At Driveaway, every instructor has an equal voice in how the school is run. Decisions are made with students in mind, not shareholders in a boardroom.
Every instructor who teaches with Driveaway holds an equal share in the business. Not employees — owners.
Business decisions are made collectively. Every instructor has a say in how the school operates and grows.
When the school does well, everyone benefits. That shared interest drives quality, care and consistency.
what we stand for
We're not driven by targets or sales quotas. Every decision we make puts our students and instructors first.
Learning to drive can be stressful. We build confidence gradually, at your pace — especially with nervous learners.
35 years on Cambridge roads means we know every junction, roundabout and tricky stretch — and we teach them all.
No hidden fees, no upselling. We're straightforward about what lessons cost because that's the right way to do business.
No commitment needed — just find an instructor you like and book your first lesson.
Cambridge's co-operative driving school since 1989. Every instructor is a shareholder — invested in your success.
