With the stresses of everyday life and the roads becoming busier, now is a really good time to be driving an automatic car.
You may be a complete beginner, or someone who has tried manual lessons and decided it wasn’t for you. Whatever your level, we can cater for you, and promise you of a fantastic learning experience.
How many of your friends have told you about stalling, and how they hated it? In an automatic car you cannot stall, since there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, off you go with no delay.
Piece of cake in an automatic car, as soon as you move your foot from the brake to the gas, the car will move, none of this constant clutch movement, putting on the handbrake and finding the biting point, you just calmly move feet from one pedal to the other. Another benefit – No rolling backwards!
Hamble has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you ‘ll be in traffic a lot of the time during your driving lessons, particularly during rush hour. In an automatic car it’s simple – we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car easier, less pollution, and easier on your feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
At Lendrums Driving School we understand the financial pressure on students, so we offer discounts on driving lessons and block bookings, to help you budget more easily, and we are one of the few driving schools covering Hamble that offer driving lesson discounts. We cover all areas, and can pick up and return to college/university, so if you have study gaps in the day, or once you have experience, can pick you up from home and finish at the college/university –
or the other way round, college/university to home.
As an NHS professional, we know the everyday stresses and strains you go through, and would like to thank you for your amazing efforts, keeping people safe and helping people recover, therefore we offer a discount for NHS driving lessons, the same as for students, as a way of showing our appreciation.
All our customers get FREE access to our online theory and hazard perception training, to help you pass your theory test easily.
This covers the full range of topics tested in your theory exam, from hazard perception clips, road signs, and the highway code, so you can study at your own pace, whenever suits you.

A lot of our learners find that working through the online training alongside their lessons makes the whole learning process click faster, as the theory and the practical reinforce each other.
If you are a student at college or university, we can collect you during study breaks, taking you back to your studies or home once your lesson’s done, plus we can pick you up from home and drop you at college or university, once you have some experience on busier roads. Some of the colleges and universities we cover:
Hamble-le-Rice, a charming riverside village near Southampton, offers a unique blend of coastal beauty and practical driving challenges, making it an ideal location to learn to drive. Whether you are a nervous beginner or refining your skills before a test, Hamble provides diverse road conditions that prepare learners for real-world driving scenarios. From quiet residential streets to busier arterial routes, this area offers a well-rounded training ground for new drivers.
One of the key benefits of learning to drive in Hamble is exposure to local busy roads and roundabouts. Nearby routes such as the M27 and A27 connect to larger roundabout systems, allowing learners to build confidence navigating multi-lane exits, merging traffic, and give-way rules. Meanwhile, Hamble’s village centre, with its narrower lanes and parked cars, helps develop precision and spatial awareness, both essential for passing a driving test.
Beyond the driving lessons themselves, Hamble offers plenty of appeal for learners taking a break or combining lessons with leisure. The village is a popular tourist attraction, known for its historic maritime heritage, riverside walks, and charming pubs. After a lesson, new drivers might enjoy exploring Hamble Quay or watching yachts sail along the River Hamble.
For those interested in nightlife and things to do, nearby Southampton offers a vibrant scene of restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues, giving learners plenty of incentive to master their driving skills quickly.
In conclusion, Hamble combines practical road training with scenic charm, making it an excellent place to learn to drive while enjoying everything the area has to offer.
Everyone learns at a different pace, but typically it takes around 40 to 45 hours of lessons, plus plenty of practice, before you’re ready to pass.
