Terms of Service


By using this website ("Service") you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions ("Terms of Service") with Prestige Driving School - ABN 21 602 137 217.

Prestige Driving School reserves the right to update and change the Terms of Service without notice.


The Terms of Service are subject to change at any discretion and updates will be made available on our website. By booking a lesson, you agree to adhere to the Terms in effect at the time of your booking. Should you book multiple lessons simultaneously, the Terms and conditions in force at the time of such booking will govern each of the lessons booked.

1. Fees, Cancellations, and Rescheduling
1.1 A minimum of 24 hours notice is required to cancel a lesson booking without incurring charges. Failure to provide such notice will result in the lesson fee being charged.
1.2 To reschedule a lesson, more than 24 hours' notice is necessary. Rescheduling with less than 24 hours notice will also incur the lesson fee.
1.3 We retain the authority to reschedule any lesson, provided we give reasonable notice.
1.4 We may refuse to conduct a lesson if you are deemed unfit to operate a vehicle or are suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In such cases, the lesson fee remains payable.

2. Payment Conditions
2.1 All cash payments are required to be made directly to the instructor at the start of the session.
2.2 Single Lessons must be paid for either in cash or using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex only), with a 2.5% surcharge applied to credit card transactions.
2.3 Lesson packages must exclusively be purchased either through our website or in-car, using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) and also subject to a 2.5% surcharge. Prestige Driving School disclaims all liability for large sums of cash given directly to instructors or for any amounts transferred into their personal bank accounts.

3. Provision of Lessons
3.1 You are required to possess and carry a current Australian driving license (Class C LRN or C) or an equivalent overseas license during all lessons.
3.2 On-road lessons start and finish at the pick-up point agreed upon at the time of booking. Clients are responsible for providing specific, accessible pickup and drop-off locations. This includes ensuring that there is nearby parking available and that the location is not in areas that are inherently vague or complex, such as around train stations, within shopping centres that have multiple entrances and exits, or in areas where our vehicles are not permitted to stop legally.
3.3 A standard on-road lesson lasts one hour and includes briefing and/or debriefing time.
3.4 All students must wear appropriate footwear during lessons. Recommended are flat-soled, enclosed shoes that offer a secure fit and proper pedal control.
3.5 It's important to be prepared for your lesson 10 minutes before the agreed start time. Should you fail to arrive as scheduled, the instructor will wait for up to 15 minutes, during which any delay will be subtracted from your lesson's total duration. Arrivals beyond this 15-minute window give the instructor the discretion to cancel the lesson, in which case the full lesson fee will still be applicable.
3.6 We strive to start all lessons on time and with the designated instructor. However, we cannot be held accountable for delays or instructor changes caused by unforeseen circumstances. Should such a situation affect the start time of your lesson, we are committed to providing the full lesson duration whenever possible. If delivering the full scheduled time isn't feasible, we will arrange for the lesson to be rescheduled to a more convenient time.
3.7 You are required to follow your instructor's instructions and directions at all times, both before and during the lesson.
3.8 We reserve the right to terminate a lesson if:
a. You engage in behaviour deemed reckless by your instructor, or
b. You do not follow the instructions or directions given by your instructor, either before or during the lesson, or
c. You fail to meet specific conditions of your license, such as the requirement to wear glasses or contacts.
Should a lesson be terminated for any of the reasons mentioned above, you will be obligated to pay for the full cost of the lesson.
3.9 We, along with our driving instructors, bear no responsibility for any personal property left behind in an instructor-supplied vehicle.
3.10 Driving lessons in your vehicle are permitted after you have completed at least one full lesson with us to assess your driving skills. Following this assessment, if your instructor agrees to conduct lessons in your vehicle, it is your responsibility to ensure that your car is insured with both compulsory third-party and comprehensive insurance. We, along with our driving instructors, will not be held accountable for any traffic violations or accidents that may occur while conducting driving lessons in your vehicle.

4. Driving Test
4.1 Your instructor will present you to Service NSW for your driving test only if they determine you are sufficiently safe and prepared to undertake the test.
4.2 You are eligible for our First Go Guarantee once your instructor assesses you as competent to take your driving test. To utilise this guarantee, you must schedule your driving test within 4 weeks following your last lesson with us, opt to use one of our cars for the test, and claim your complimentary lesson within 30 days after your driving test. Please note that we cannot be held accountable for the results of any driving test under different circumstances.
4.3 The First Go Guarantee is exclusive to your initial driving test attempt. It does not extend to any subsequent driving tests you may take.
4.4 We and our driving instructors will not be held liable if your driving test is cancelled due to any errors in your log book, except for those entries made by us. Your log book contains detailed instructions on how to accurately fill it in. It is your responsibility to ensure that your log book is correctly completed and meets all required standards before your driving test appointment.
4.5 If you are presented to Service NSW for a driving test by one of our instructors and your test is cancelled for reasons not attributable to us, including but not limited to the following, you will be required to pay the Driving Test Package fee in full:
a. Errors or omissions in your log book, for which you bear full responsibility as outlined in clause 4.4.
b. Booking an incorrect type of test, such as a Hazard Perception Test instead of the Driving Test.
c. Discrepancies in the test's scheduled time or location.
d. Cancellation or rescheduling by Service NSW due to staff shortages or other unforeseen circumstances.

5.4 Should you require an extension for your gift voucher, it is imperative that you submit your request to us in writing before the expiration of your voucher. We evaluate extension requests on a case-by-case basis and grant them at our discretion. Please note, that vouchers that have already expired are ineligible for extension.
