A standard lesson is 1 hour, and your instructor picks you up and drops you off. You can also book a 1.5-hour or 2-hour lesson if you’d like to learn faster.
Yes. We provide lessons 7 days a week, from 8 am to 7:30 pm. Please book a few days ahead to get the time you want.
Yes. All of our cars are automatic and fitted with dual controls for your safety.
Yes, you can. However, you need to have your first lesson in one of our cars so your instructor can assess your driving. If your instructor deems you safe to drive your own car, you can have your next lesson in your own car, as long as it meets NSW requirements for learner vehicles and is fully insured.
It’s best to learn in an automatic first. Driving an automatic is easier, so it helps you build confidence and road skills before trying a manual. You can learn manual later if you want to.
Yes. All of our cars are equipped with card payment facilities for your convenience.
You must be at least 16 years old to apply for a car learner licence in NSW.
Yes. If you use a paper log book, your instructor fills it in at the end of each lesson. If you use the Roundtrip app, the only digital log book Transport for NSW accepts, you add the lesson and your instructor’s details after each lesson.
Yes, if you’re under 25. Each hour of driving with a licensed NSW driving instructor counts as 3 hours in your log book, for up to 10 hours of lessons. That’s up to 20 bonus hours towards the 120 hours you need. Bonus hours from night lessons count as daytime hours.
It depends on your age and how you learn. If you’re under 25, you need to hold your Ls for at least 12 months and log 120 hours (including 20 at night) before your driving test. If you’re 25 or over, there’s no minimum learner period. On average, someone with no experience takes about 25 lessons to drive safely.
It can. It depends on the country that issued your licence and on your driving skills. Please call our office on 1300 806 506 and we’ll explain your options.
