Some of our most frequently asked questions.

How much do driving lessons cost?

The cost of driving lessons in NSW varies depending on the instructor's experience, location, and whether you choose automatic or manual transmission. On average, lessons range from $50 to $80 per hour. Many instructors offer package deals that can reduce the per-lesson cost.

How should I prepare for my lesson?

Make sure to bring your learner's permit, wear comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear, get plenty of rest the night before, and arrive a few minutes early. It's also helpful to review road rules before your lesson.
