Driving lessonsKilmallock
We collect you from home, from work or outside SuperValu in Kilmallock, so the hour starts close to your day. Before your test, a pretest takes you to the area around your chosen centre.
Your lessons in Kilmallock
Our driving lessons in Kilmallock are built so that most of your learning happens close to home, with an Approved Driving Instructor in a dual-controlled car. The longer drive to a test centre comes only near the end.
Collected near SuperValu
If it suits, we can meet you at SuperValu in Kilmallock, or call to your home or work instead. The pick-up and drop-off cost nothing extra.
RSA-approved, dual-controlled
Your teacher is an Approved Driving Instructor, and the car has a brake on the passenger side. That matters most in your first lessons along Wolfe Tone Street.
Calm, whatever your starting point
Some learners arrive anxious, some arrive after years off. Either way, the lesson goes at your pace and nobody in the car raises their voice.
Ready, or told what is missing
We tell you honestly when you are ready for Mitchelstown, Tipperary or Newcastle West. If you are not, you hear the gap in plain words.
Manual or automatic, as you like
Both are taught. A manual pass lets you drive either type, and an automatic pass puts code 78 on your licence for automatics only.
Request a female instructor
Tell us if you would prefer a woman teaching you, or anything else that matters, when you enquire. We take it into account in the match.
Manual driving lessons Kilmallock
Manual lessons in Kilmallock start near your pick-up point with clutch control, gear changes and smooth stops. With those settled, you move on to junctions and roundabouts, and later the reversing exercises. Lord Edward Street and Wolfe Tone Street are part of the early drives, and later lessons go further out for practice at higher speeds and on longer roads. Because every centre is at least 30 minutes away, the final lessons and the pretest take you into the area of the centre you chose, so the test is on familiar ground.

Automatic driving lessons in Kilmallock teach you to drive without a clutch, which can make the first hours feel less busy. Everything else is the same, the test included. Afterwards your licence carries code 78, restricting you to automatic cars, and if you pass in a manual that restriction does not apply. Ask for an automatic on the form, and we tell you who can teach you in one.

Kilmallock lesson prices
Prices in Kilmallock are the same as in Bruree, Kilfinane and every town we cover, collection and drop-off included.
EDT lessons in Kilmallock
All learner permit holders complete Essential Driver Training before their test: 12 lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor, each signed into a logbook. In Kilmallock, we collect you for every one from the point we agreed with you at the start.
Think of EDT as your first 12 lessons, not a separate course, because your instructor plans what each one covers. A licence from some other countries may bring that down to six. The automatic EDT course costs €659.24, and the manual price is on its own ticket.
The EDT guide ↗Choosing a centre from Kilmallock
From Kilmallock, the nearest centre is Mitchelstown in County Cork, 29.1 km by road and about 30 minutes. Tipperary town and Newcastle West are both about 35 minutes, and the Mallow centre about 40. Since the drives are similar, the earliest suitable date usually decides which one you go for.
With a drive of half an hour or more to any centre, the pretest earns its place. It is one hour in the area around your centre, shortly before the test, and includes the car you will sit the test in. The manual pretest costs €183.63. Book it on 021 2355558.
Kilmallock roads, lesson by lesson
Lesson one begins near your pick-up point while you get used to the car. Lord Edward Street and Wolfe Tone Street come in during the early hours. As your control improves, your instructor takes you further out of Kilmallock, adding one new skill at a time.
Meeting at SuperValu in Kilmallock is handy if you work there or are already in town. Otherwise it is your home or your workplace. Agree the point when you book, and the drop-off can be the same place or another agreed one.
Bruree is the closest town on our list, 6.6 km away in a straight line, with Kilfinane at 8.1 km. Charleville, 9.1 km away over the Cork border, is on our list too. If you live in one of them, your lessons start there instead.

The EDT: a guide
The logbook keeps count for you. Each EDT lesson in Kilmallock ends with your instructor's signature, and twelve signatures complete the course. Bring it with your learner permit every time, and look back through it before the pretest: it shows how much ground you have covered since your very first hour.
The EDT guide ↗ Preparing for the test ↗A few good questions
Can you collect me at SuperValu in Kilmallock?
Yes. Tell us when you book, and SuperValu becomes your agreed pick-up point. After the hour, you are dropped where you were collected, or at home if you would prefer that.
Which centre is quickest to reach from Kilmallock?
Mitchelstown in County Cork, about 30 minutes away by road. Tipperary town and Newcastle West are about 35 minutes each and the Mallow centre about 40, so all four are worth checking for dates.
Is pick-up extra in Kilmallock?
No. Collection and drop-off at your agreed point are included in every price, whether you book one lesson, the EDT course or the pretest. One manual hour is €53.27, for example.
Can I start lessons in Kilmallock as an adult?
Yes. Lessons work the same at any age: an Approved Driving Instructor, an hour at a time, at your pace. If you hold a learner permit, the 12 EDT lessons still apply before the test.
