This website does not show prices. Rates are sent on request by WhatsApp or when you contact us. A one-time registration fee applies and is non-refundable. The driving test fee must be paid one day before the test. Accepted payment methods: Cash and MCB Juice.
6. Driving test
A special insurance cover for the car is mandatory during the test. It is shown to the police officer in charge of the test records for each candidate. We arrange it as part of your test registration.
7. What to bring
Please bring your provisional driving licence to every lesson.
8. Cancellations and late arrival
- Please tell us as early as possible, by WhatsApp or phone, if you need to cancel or change a lesson.
- Changes and cancellations must be made at least 12 hours before the lesson.
- If you are going to be late, please let us know. If another student is having a lesson, you may have to wait for your turn.
- If we have to cancel or change a lesson (for example illness, car problem or bad weather), we will offer you another time.
- The registration fee is non-refundable. The test fee and the test insurance are paid one day before the test and are non-refundable once paid, unless the test is cancelled by the authorities or by us.
9. Conduct and responsibility
- You must bring your provisional driving licence to every lesson. Without it, the lesson cannot take place.
- You must be fit to drive. Please do not come for a lesson after drinking alcohol or taking drugs or medication that affects your driving. If you are not fit to drive, the instructor may refuse or stop the lesson, and it may be charged.
- Follow the instructor's instructions at all times, wear your seat belt, and keep your phone away. The instructor may stop the lesson if it becomes unsafe.
- Treat the instructor and other road users with respect. Abusive behaviour ends the lesson with no refund.
