A one hour warm-up lesson immediately before your Vehicle On Road Test, then the test itself in the same vehicle you have been practising in.

Service FAQs

Lessons are available in 60, 90 and 120 minute durations. Longer lessons suit learners working on assessment preparation or wanting more time in busier traffic, while 60 minutes works well for regular skill building. Choose the length that suits you when you book — the price for each is listed above.

For everyday learning, pick the lesson length that suits you — 60, 90 or 120 minutes — and tell us what you would like to work on. If you already hold a licence and want to get comfortable again, choose the Refresher lesson. If your test is booked, the Pre-VORT lesson + VORT test options cover the warm-up and the test itself on the same day. Not sure — just contact us and we will point you in the right direction.

A night lesson starts from 6:00 PM and focuses on driving after dark — headlight use, judging distance and speed at night, glare from oncoming traffic and reading unlit roads. Night hours also count towards your logbook. They are priced separately from day lessons and can be booked online for any evening we have available.

A 30% deposit (in AUD, GST included like all our prices) secures your slot when you book online — for example $34.50 on a 60 minute lesson. The remaining balance is paid to your instructor at the end of the lesson. You can pay the deposit by card, by bank transfer, or simply pay your instructor on the day — whichever options we currently have enabled at checkout.

Please give us at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel a lesson so we can offer the slot to another learner. Late cancellations may forfeit the deposit.

Yes — we offer door-to-door pickup and drop-off across the Adelaide metropolitan area and surrounding suburbs, so your lesson starts and ends wherever suits you.

You pay for the block up front at a discounted rate, then we schedule the lessons around you.

Enquire about the package you want and we will tailor the schedule to your goals and timeline.
