From first lesson to licence

Five stops along the way. Most learners get there in ten to fourteen weeks.

  1. Book your first lesson

    Online or by phone. We match you with an instructor close to home, school or work.

    Free pick-up from home, school or work

  2. Meet your instructor

    Your first lesson starts on quiet streets: the controls, the mirrors and moving off smoothly.

  3. Build up, week by week

    Junctions, roundabouts, city traffic and parking, with a progress card that shows how far you have come.

    Same instructor, every week

  4. Take a mock test

    A full practice test on real local routes, marked just like the real thing, about two weeks before your test.

Questions, answered

Still wondering about something? Call 555-0126 and talk to a real person.

How much do driving lessons cost?

Automatic lessons are $62 an hour and manual lessons $60. Packs bring the price down: 10 lessons from $575 and 20 lessons from $1,120. Your first lesson as a new learner is $39.

How many lessons will I need?

Most new drivers need 20 to 30 hours of lessons, plus practice at home if they can. Your instructor gives you an honest estimate after the first lesson.

Do you pick up from school or work?

Yes. Pick-up and drop-off from home, school or work is free anywhere in our areas.

Can I book an intensive course?

Yes. Our intensive course is 20 hours over about three weeks, with a mock test and our car for the test. Tell us your test date and we plan around it.

I am a nervous driver. Can you help?

You are in good hands. We start somewhere quiet, go at your pace and explain everything first. Plenty of our learners start out nervous.

Can I change or cancel a lesson?

Free with 24 hours notice. Pay-as-you-go lessons are refunded, and pack lessons go back on your balance.
