Terms & Conditions
This contract has an expiration date of 12 months after sign up.
Anyone 18 years old or older trying to take a DMV test is not required to do Drivers Education or Drivers training.
- 1. Your contract starts from the day you sign up. Be sure to take your lessons within the specified amount of time. Do not let your contract expire.
- 2. Package Price Agreement:
- To take advantage of our discounted package rates, full payment must be made in advance. Please note the following:
- • Package prices cannot be split into multiple payments.
- • Single lessons purchased at the standard rate cannot be applied toward or upgraded to a package at a later time.
- 3. All driving appointments made are confirmed on first call no matter which family member schedules the lesson. Driving lessons are first come, first serve. If you would like an earlier lesson than your already scheduled time, please request to be placed on a cancellation list.
- 4. It is the customer's sole responsibility to communicate driving lesson appointments with family members.
- 5. If you cannot give us a 48 hour cancellation notice, you can make an arrangement to switch the lesson with another student. Please be aware that if the student does not show up for the lesson, you will be responsible for the cancellation fee. You will need to contact our office to let us know which student will be taking your lesson.
- 6. All questions must be directed to the office. Driver instructors will refer you back to the office unless the question is about the student's lesson performance.
- 7. For specific lesson performance questions, please make sure that you contact us as soon as possible after the lesson.
- 8. If we are late picking up the student, the student will get the full 2 hours driving from pick up time. The lesson may sometimes go over two hours depending on traffic. (No extra fee)
- 9. No one is allowed in our vehicles during driving lessons except for the students and instructor.
- 10. Students ability to learn within the six (6) hour period may vary depending on the student's abilities. The DMV requires any minors taking the driving test to complete a minimum of 50 hours of driving before they can take the test. We urge parents to practice as much as possible with their children.
- 11. We do not guarantee the same instructor or vehicle for each lesson. While we try to accommodate requests, they are not guaranteed. If you only wish to work with specific instructors, you must notify the office in advance - otherwise, we will asign an available instructor.
- 12. Behind-the-Wheel Drive Test Package Policy:
- DMV behind-the-wheel test services are not included in any of our lesson packages and must be scheduled and paid for separately. The test service fee applies each time the DMV test is taken. Drive Test Package is non-refundable once the service is provided, regardless of the test outcome. Our standard cancellation policy also applies to this service.
- 13. During our busier times, our first availability could be between one or several weeks.
- 14. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
- 15. For the safety and security of our students, instructors and others, there may or may not be video surveillance at the driving school and in company vehicles.
- 16. Two hours of continual driving could be too long for any new driver to be on the road. For this reason, if requested by the student we may take up to 10 minutes to allow the student to get some relief and clear their heads so that they can continue to learn to drive safely.
- 17. Cancellation Policy:
- 48-Hour Notice
- Rescheduling or cancellations require at least 48 hours’ notice. Less notice will result in a $50 fee.
