Frequently asked questions

  • When are you available for lessons?
    Monday through Saturday from 9am. Talk to us about a schedule that suits.
  • Where are lessons held?
    This will depend largely on the level of driver but lessons can only be held on legal NZ roads. Our instructor will judge the safest conditions optimal for learning on the day.
  • Who can request a lesson?
    We cover class 1, 1L, 1R license holders (car license). Legally we cannot offer lessons to those who do not hold at least 1L (learner license).
  • Do you offer refresher courses?
    Yes. We are happy to support expats returning home and need to refresh their road rules knowledge.
  • As a parent can I join the driving lesson?
    Yes you can. However we have a rule in place where no input from a parent/guardians is allowed. During a lesson, input can be distracting or even potentially unsafe.

Our main vehicle is a 2021 Suzuki Swift with advanced safety features.

To support safe lessons our Suzuki Swift has dual control, which is an accelerator and brake on the front passenger side, standard for all professional driving instructors. The Suzuki Swift is the most popular car to learn with in New Zealand, and has 5-star safety, agility and easy handling that makes it the perfect choice for beginners.
