Car Driving Lessons

Rescheduling driving lessons

If you reschedule a lesson with less than 48 hours advance notice of the scheduled time, we reserve the right to consider the lesson cancelled and charge as set out below.

Cancelling a driving lesson

A minimum of 24hrs notice is required in the instance that you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson time or date.

• If the period of notice is less than 12 hours, you will be charged the full lesson fee
• If the period of notice is more than 12 hours, but less than 24 hours, you will be charged 25% of the lesson cost

Lateness and non-attendance (no shows)

If you arrive late for a lesson the Instructor shall only be able to offer you the remaining lesson time if they have a commitment to another session immediately after, and you will be charged for the full lesson cost for the lesson.

If you are more than 15 minutes late for a lesson without notifying us we reserve the right (at the Instructor’s reasonable discretion) to cancel the lesson and charge the full lesson cost.

If no cancellation notice is given and a student fails to arrive or show up for a scheduled driving lesson or fails to have a current drivers licence on them, the full lesson fee will be charged and payable for the lesson.

The keys2drive program aims to improve driver safety by helping P platers drive for six months without hurting themselves or others, building a foundation for a life of safe driving. The keys2drive coaching approach is designed to provide a learning experience that is more real, more thorough and more attuned to the reality of licensed driving. keys2drive provides a free lesson, introducing our innovative approach, for learner drivers in Australia.

The decision to work towards either an automatic or manual licence is very much up to the individual. Achieving a manual licence will very often require a greater investment of time and energy to learn. However, you are then able to drive both automatic and manual cars in the future. Maybe a job prospect could hinge on whether or not you have a manual licence.

Alternatively, an automatic licence can often be a cheaper, less stressful option and if you are certain that you will only ever want to drive automatic cars, then choosing this pathway makes sense.

Remember, you can upgrade from an automatic licence to a manual one at a later stage. However, it does require you to re-sit your driving test.
