EDIT 28\/6\/2012:<\/strong> This is an old story. I understand that now BSM is run by The AA<\/a>, franchise prices are similar to those of The AA Driving School. Lesson prices with PDIs are also not charged at full rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get a lot of hits on this search term (i.e. “BSM franchise fees”). Take a look at this link to BSM’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BSMThe top BSM franchise (fixed fee) is<\/span> was<\/strong> very expensive (in my opinion) – from what I last heard it is something<\/span> it used to be between \u00a3330-380 a week! However, if the website is anywhere near accurate, BSM is virtually guaranteeing pupils, plus you get 3 fee-free weeks after a year, and an annual discount (not sure how much) on the weekly fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also<\/span> used to do a variable fee franchise, which is based on the number of hours you do. The more you work, the more you pay. I don’t have a clue what the figures are for this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, they used to do an Associate Franchise – this is where you get the car but find your own work. It costs \u00a3160 a week, and includes free CPD (which I assume must also be included in those other franchise options).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your best bet is to phone them on the number they give:\u00a0 0845 851 9688 – better to get the correct information from the horse’s mouth, and not a pile of twisted hearsay from people who are guessing or who have axes to grind with BSM. It’s not like you are committing to joining them or anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
