For Adult Driver Training, you may decide on how many lessons you will prefer. The instructor can give you an objective opinion while in the car with you on how many you may need. It is common that auto insurance companies will give a discount on your insurance rate if you have completed a 6-hour driver training course- 6 Hour DMV certificate issued in the car when 6 hours are completed.
Cancellations must be made 48 hours or before your scheduled time. The late cancellation fee is $70. This also applies if the student does not have their valid original permit in hand at the time of the lesson. Copies are not accepted – this is a regulation of the DMV.
Teen freeway lessons are only conducted with parental consent and only when the instructor has determined that it is safe to do so. If you need practice in specific areas of driving ~ please mention it when you make an appointment so we can inform the instructor.
We do not conduct driving lessons in the upper higher hills of Berkeley & Oakland. Only when it involves narrow winding roads and where cellphone reception is scarce. Reasons are: unsafe roads for a beginner driver, causes interference with our other appointments, lack of communication/GPS if the instructor becomes lost. We can meet you on lower ground. Usual lower ground meeting places are Starbucks on Solano, Whole Foods, Claremont Hotel.
