FAQ
Quick answers before you book
How old does my teen need to be to start lessons?
Teens can start behind-the-wheel lessons at 15½ once they have their California instruction permit. Not sure if your teen qualifies yet? Call us and we will walk you through the steps.
Do you provide the car for lessons and the DMV test?
Yes. All lessons are in our insured, dual-control training vehicles, and our DMV test-day package includes use of our car for your test appointment.
Where do lessons start and end?
Wherever works for you. We pick up and drop off at your home, school or workplace anywhere in our North County service area at no extra charge.
How soon can we start?
Most new students get their first lesson within a week of booking. Call for the fastest scheduling, or send the form and we will reply the same day.
What is your cancellation policy?
Reschedule or cancel free with 24 hours' notice. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice have a $50 fee, and no-shows forfeit the lesson. If we ever need to cancel, we reschedule you free of charge.
Do adults take the same lessons as teens?
Yes. Same instructors, same cars, with the pace adjusted to you. Many of our students are adults getting licensed for the first time or returning to driving after years away.
How do I pay?
We accept Zelle, Venmo or cash. Nothing is due to request a time. We confirm your schedule first, then take payment before the first lesson.
