Driver Ed FAQ

Should you need to cancel, we will provide a refund up to two business days before your first day of class or first scheduled lesson (whichever comes first), minus a $30 processing fee.

If you fail to show up for a lesson or do not cancel or reschedule on our website at least 24-hour advance, you will be charged a $30 late cancellation fee.

You must be at least 14.5 by the first day of the driver ed class.

The completion time depends on age, scheduling flexibility, and instructor availability. Typically, each student is done with the 30-hour classroom portion and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel within eight weeks.

If you are between the ages of 14.5 and 17, you do not need a license or permit to take our driver education class.

Call, email, or visit the website of the previous driving school or high school where the student has taken and completed the 30-hour classroom portion and request and fill out a release of records form. Once this is complete, email us, and we will contact the other school and advise you of your next steps and when you can book behind-the-wheel training.

This depends on your scheduling flexibility and instructor availability. You can take one 2-hour behind-the-wheel lesson each day and schedule up to three driving lessons in advance. So you could schedule Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Once you complete Monday's lesson, you could schedule another for Thursday.
