Terms of Use

1. Introduction

This Website is operated by ADI Motoring Ltd ("we", "us", "ADI Motoring"), Company Registration Number 547846, registered office: Digital Office Centre, Balheary Road, Swords, Co. Dublin, K67 E5A0.

Driving lessons and associated services are provided in collaboration with independent, government-licensed driving instructors (our Instructors) and facilitated by us.

2. Our role

ADI Motoring is an independent online platform that connects learner drivers with qualified professional driving instructors. We do not personally provide driving lessons, nor do we operate as joint-venturer or employer of driving instructors.

Our role is to provide a simple, safe, secure and convenient platform to help you become a competent and confident driver. We market driving lessons on behalf of our Instructors, accept payment on their behalf and facilitate the ongoing relationship with you.

3. Booking lessons

Self-service bookings. When you book through our Website you choose an Instructor operating near you and select a lesson package. After sign-up and payment you receive confirmation of payment and your first booking, plus reminders and change notifications.

Telephone bookings. When you call us to book, we assign a suitable Instructor, provide a provisional date and time, and email a secure payment link. We do not take card details over the phone. Once payment is made you receive login credentials to manage your bookings online.

Instructor invitations. If an Instructor invites you, you will receive login credentials by email and can thereafter manage all bookings on the platform.

Late-cancellation forfeiture. If you cancel a lesson less than 48 hours before its start time the lesson price may be forfeited under Section 11. Enforcement of this rule is at the Instructor's and ADI Motoring's discretion.

4. Driving lessons

Our service is subject to availability. We may substitute an alternative Instructor if the original becomes unavailable.

ADI Motoring is not liable for traffic violations incurred by you during or outside a lesson.

All Instructors contractually agree to our standards of professionalism and care. Please contact us if you have any concerns.

5. Pricing and Payment

5.1 All-inclusive pricing

All prices shown online or quoted by our team are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) and represent the total amount payable. No surcharge or "card handling fee" will be added for payment by consumer Visa, Mastercard, Maestro or any other card covered by the European Union (Payment Services) Regulations 2018.

5.2 Accepted payment methods

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, bank transfer and ADI Motoring gift vouchers. Optional discounts for particular payment methods (e.g. bank transfer) will be presented before you commit to pay.

5.3 Payment flow

Payment is received by us on behalf of your Instructor. Once paid, your obligation to the Instructor is discharged. Our commercial fee arrangement with the Instructor does not affect the amount you pay or any refund you receive.

7. Cancellation and Rescheduling (Outside Cooling-off Period)

Notice given before lesson	Fee
48 hours or more	Free reschedule or full refund
Less than 48 hours, or no-show	100% of lesson price

These fees are a genuine pre-estimate of the costs incurred when a slot cannot be re-booked at short notice.

8. Refunds

8.1 Method and timing

Refunds are made using the same payment method you used, within 14 days of:

• receipt of your cancellation notice; or
• (where applicable) the return of any training materials supplied.

8.2 No fees on statutory refunds

You will not incur any administration or processing fee on refunds due under Sections 6 or 7.

8.3 Good-will refunds after 14 days

Where we agree, at your request, to issue a refund more than 14 days after booking and outside the cancellation windows in Section 7, we will deduct an administration charge of €20 to cover administration, payment-gateway and processing costs. This charge will never exceed our direct cost of processing the refund.

8.4 Lesson Expiry Policy

All lessons purchased must be used within 12 months from the date of payment. Unused lessons will expire after this period and are non-refundable, except where statutory rights apply (e.g., during the 14-day cooling-off period under Section 6).

Extensions may be granted for exceptional circumstances (e.g., documented medical issues, pregnancy, or verified driving test delays) upon written request to info@drivinglessonsleinster.ie before the expiry date. We will respond within 7 days with a decision.

At our discretion, we may offer a partial refund or credit for expired lessons, subject to a minimum €20 administration fee, if requested within 30 days of expiry.

This policy ensures efficient scheduling and availability for all customers.

You may in limited circumstances be charged additional costs above those advertised on our Website for things including but not limited to road tolls.

Note that all purchases made from ADI Motoring are subject to a 12-month expiry period from the purchase date. If a purchase has not been redeemed before its expiry, the total amount will be lost. All gratuities are voluntary. All driving lessons must be completed within 6 months of the purchase redemption.

8.5 Limitation of Liability for Driving Test Insurance Compliance

It is the sole responsibility of the learner to ensure that all required documentation, including valid motor insurance certification and any supporting confirmation from the insurer, is available and compliant with RSA requirements at the time of the driving test.

Where a driving test does not proceed due to:

• Failure to provide a valid certificate of motor insurance;
• Failure to provide written confirmation from the insurer where the learner is not a named driver;
• Inadequate, invalid, expired, or non-compliant insurance documentation; or
• Any refusal by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) to proceed with the test based on insurance documentation,

ADI Motoring Ltd and/or its instructor partners shall not be held liable for any loss of driving test fees, associated costs, vehicle hire fees, lesson fees, or any related expenses incurred. No refunds, reimbursements, or compensation shall be payable in such circumstances.

9. Our Cancellation or Rescheduling

We may cancel or reschedule a lesson due to Instructor illness, vehicle breakdown, unsafe weather or other events outside our control. You may choose either (i) a replacement lesson at the earliest convenient time or (ii) a full refund.
