Our Policies For Class 5 & 7 Driving Lessons:
We are currently charging $145.00 plus GST for a 90 minute Class 5 or Class 7 Driving Lesson. Our lessons are typically 90 minutes in duration but lesson length may be changed before the start of the lesson if agreed on beforehand by both Instructor and student.
All Class 5 & 7 driving lessons are in a car with Automatic transmission. There is simply not enough demand for instruction on standard transmissions to make it economically viable to maintain a teaching car with a standard transmission.
Here are links to Our Policies for Class 4 Unrestricted and Class 4 Restricted.
Students are required to have a valid BC Drivers License or a foreign drivers license recognized and valid in British Columbia before taking driving lessons with us. Students must carry their Drivers License at all times during training.
All students will be asked to show us their Drivers License before the lesson. This is required by ICBC. We cannot conduct a lesson for any student who does not have their Drivers License with them at the start time of the lesson. We will charge a $60.00 if a student cannot do the lesson due to not having a Drivers License in their possession at the start of the lesson.
We offer individual in-car training only. No other students or any other person or people will be in the vehicle during the lesson.
Pick-up and Drop-off will be offered for all in car lessons. Lessons start when the student enters the vehicle and ends upon arrival at the drop off point designated prior to the lesson.
Students deemed by the Instructor to be impaired in any manner will be refused Instruction and will be charged the entire fee for the lesson.
If you wish to cancel a scheduled driving lesson, we require 24 hours notice prior to the lesson or a cancellation fee of $60.0 will be assessed.
Late policy: If the student has not arrived at the agreed pick up point 5 minutes after the start time of any lesson we will call or text the student. If the student has not arrived at the agreed starting point 20 minutes after the lesson was scheduled to begin, the instructor may consider the lesson forfeit unless other arrangements have been made. In this case a cancellation fee of $60.00 will be assessed.
We ask that payments for lessons be made in advance by eTransfer, credit card, cash or cheque. This practice is followed by other Driving Schools and it helps us keep our costs and our lesson prices at reasonable levels. In the past we have, unfortunately, had to spend time following up on late payments. This increases our costs which we, in turn, have to pass along to our clients.
