[Star Wars] How difficult is it to fly a ship and how many people know how?

Is flying a ship comparable to driving a car? Or is it more like flying a plane? Somewhere in between? Throughout the movies we see characters having to actively seek a pilot to fly for them, though the Star Wars protagonists are not the average joe. How common is it for the average person to have at least somewhat competent ship-flying ability?

If you're flying a legal ship along legal hyperspace routes, it wouldn't be too difficult. It would be a matter of entering in the right coordinates, getting the right clearance and pressing go. There's a reason why standardized hyperspace routes are so vital for trade and travel. 

That being said hyperspace travel does take a decent amount of time and spaceships are stupid expensive so it's highly unlikely that everyone owns a spaceship. Likely a civilian would ride group spaceships to travel to other worlds. So it's probably like flying a plane.
