Late Cancellations

There is no charge to cancel lessons outside of the 24-hour window. Cancellations occurring within 24 hours of the scheduled session will incur a $40 cancellation fee.

Scheduling

All students are required to utilize Drivescout for scheduling sessions. In the event that the student has scheduling issues, assistance will be provided by our staff to ensure a satisfactory training date.

Road test appointments will be done via telephone or email to our offices to ensure proper coordination with the instructor and the Department of Driver Services (DDS).

Conduct

All students are required to conduct themselves in a polite manner that encourages a positive and safe learning environment. Learning to drive is rewarding but also dangerous.
