Driving Lessons - How many?

It all depends on the learner and the tutor. I would imagine anywhere between 10 and 50 hours is considered "normal" but there is no magic number as it depends on the individual.
 
personally, i had about 50 due to failing the test twice. having to book the test after failing and waiting a month or more for a re-test was a pain :)

How on earth do you rent a car with a provisional driving licence?

You can rent a dual control car from Arnold Clark for £9 an hour. This covers you for 10 miles. Every mile over this is £0.30. You're also covered on insurance. Although you need someone who has held there license for something like 3+ years.


Its the best way to start IMO.
 
No prior experience, BSM/AA, West London area, ~40hrs (after 1 failed test), ~£1,000.

Try and get the basics (i.e. biting points, gear changing, mirrors) sorted with a family or friend as this could save you quite a few unnecessary hours.
 
Took me 20 1 hour lessons having 2 per week and no other time in a car.

13 years ago cost me 7 quid a lesson, its gone up a bit since then.
 
No prior experience in a car and it took me between 25 hours and 30 hours :). I had an hour lesson every week.

11 * 1hour lessons and an hour before the test on test day so 12, passed first go :)
Don't go to the theory if your very tired though, I went after work the first time and failed the HP part by 1 point:(, second test I had the day off work and passed easily.
I can't wait until I have had my licence for a year so I can get a more decent car!

I racked up about 40 hours, but had to wait about 3 months to do my test. Passed first time with 4 minors.
 
The more time you get behind the wheel of a car (legally) without dual controls the better.

I did about 10 to 15 hours with an instructor after never driving in my life. Thats when progression started to get limited, its wasn't until I was driving 3-4 hours a week to the shops etc at every opportunity that I really got the hang of it. The extra level of awareness I got for knowing that I was the only one who could stop an accident occurring was immeasurable.

So dont rely on paid tuition alone.
 
I did about 30 prior to my first test, failed and then just did one a week until I could get another test sorted.
 
I had two lessons and passed my test, I got insured on my own car and had my mum sit next to me everyday for an hour or so, passed my test after 2 months.

Easiest way to be honest, if you can afford it.
 
15-20 lesson dont really know, took a 2 month break in the middle of them though because i was on holiday a lot. Passed first time.
