Common Questions

FAQs

Here's a few of the questions we get on a regular basis. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Please check our full FAQ page.

How Much Do Driving Lessons Cost?

At EzLicence, we have set driving lesson prices based on our extensive research of driving schools across Australia. Prices can vary depending on the suburb where you will be picked up and your preferred transmission type (automatic or manual).  Enter the information into our search tool to compare driving lesson prices.

Note that we offer discounts for learner drivers who purchase driving lesson packages. 

Do You Offer Any Special Lessons to Prepare for the Driving Test?

EzLicence offers a driving test package for $225, which includes:

•          Pick-up from your chosen location

•          45-minute pre-test driving lesson

•          Use of your instructor’s vehicle for the driving test

•          Drop off to your chosen location

The EzLicence Test Package is available to all customers except those in ACT, SA or TAS. Some EzLicence instructors require you book a lesson with them prior to booking a Test Package. Others will offer this as a standalone item. Find an instructor for a Test Package here

 

 

How Many Driving Lessons Do I Need?

After your first lesson, your driving instructor will be in the best position to assess how many driving lessons you should take, based on factors such as:

•          Previous driving experience, if any

•          Confidence level

•          How quickly you appear to learn and master driving techniques

A New Driver

If you have no driving experience at all, we recommend at least 7 to 10 hours of driving lessons with an accredited driving instructor. For less confident learners, it’s not unusual to book up to 20 hours of instruction. We all learn at different speeds, and it is important to make sure you have a handle on what you’ve been taught in your driving lessons, not just for your driver’s test, but to be a safe and competent driver.

If you are a new driver but have had some driving experience – say, with a family member or friend – we recommend at least 5 to 7 hours of driving instruction to fine-tune your skills and prepare for your driving test.

International Driver’s Licence Holders

Most international driver’s licence holders book about 2 to 3 hours of driving instruction to prepare for the driver’s test here. Notably, there has been a high failure rate in this category, so we recommend starting with at least 3 to 5 hours of driving lessons before attempting the driving test.

Licenced wanting to learn how to drive a manual car

Most learners who already hold an Australian Driver's Licence, but wish to learn on a manual vehicle, will require 3 to 5 hours of driving lessons.

Please note that these ranges are a guide only and will vary from learner to learner.

Can I get the bonus logbook hours if I take lessons from an EzLicence Driving Instructor?

Definitely.

Taking structured driving lessons with an EzLicence instructor in NSW, QLD & ACT lets you record 3 hours of driving experience in your logbook for every 1 hour of driving instruction, up to a maximum of 30 hours recorded for 10 hours of lessons. You can, of course, continue to take driving lessons with EzLicence instructors after you have recorded the maximum allowable bonus, but each 1 hour will equal 1 hour in your logbook.

Note that if you take a driving lesson at night (i.e. between sunset and sunrise), you can only record 1 hour of night driving. The remaining 2 hours are added to your log of day driving experience hours.

In Tasmania, you’ll get 1 extra hour of credit for every hour of driving instruction, up to a maximum of 20 hours recorded for 10 hours of lessons.

About EzLicence

Driving Lessons, Your Way.

We understand that getting your driver's licence is both exciting and daunting. That's why we built EzLicence: a platform that strips out every unnecessary step between a learner who wants lessons and an accredited instructor who can teach them. No call centres. No multi-day wait for a reply. No "let me check with the office and call you back."

You open the site, enter your suburb, and instantly see every accredited instructor operating in your area, with real prices, real reviews, and real-time availability. You book the time that works for you, pay on a card, and get an SMS confirmation within seconds. That's the whole thing.

Since 2017, we've connected over 300,000 Australian learners with 1,500+ independent driving instructors across more than 3,700 suburbs. We're not a driving school. We don't employ instructors or take a weekly cut of their income. We're a booking platform that makes the match, processes the payment, and handles the support so you and your instructor can focus on one thing: getting you ready to drive.

How Do I Find Private Driving Instructors Near Me?

Start with the search bar at the top of this page. Enter your suburb or postcode, pick auto or manual, and optionally select a date if you've already got a driving test booked. Within seconds you'll see a ranked list of every instructor who covers your pickup address, each with their rating, price per lesson, car details, and the next time they're available.

You can filter by transmission, by rating, by price, or by availability window. Click through to each instructor's profile to read their full bio, see their car photos, and browse the real reviews left by learners they've taught. When you're ready, pick a time and book. Payment is taken when you book, and credited back instantly if you cancel 24+ hours ahead.

Driving Instructors You Can Rely On.

Every instructor on EzLicence holds a current state-issued driving instructor licence, a valid Working with Children Check, a police clearance, and a verified ABN. We check every single one before we let them list on the platform, and we re-check credentials on an ongoing basis. You don't have to verify anyone yourself. We've already done it.

Every car used for a lesson is insured, dual-controlled (so your instructor has brake and sometimes clutch access from the passenger seat), and regularly inspected. Before you book, you'll see the make, model, and transmission of the car you'll be driving, with no surprises on the day. If anything about your booking doesn't match what was advertised, our Adelaide-based support team is one message away.

Whether You're 16 or 60, New to Australia or Brushing Up.

EzLicence instructors teach absolute beginners, test-ready learners, international drivers converting their licence to an Australian one, refreshers returning to the road after years off, and nervous drivers who need a calm, patient first experience. Whatever stage you're at, there's an instructor on this platform who does it all the time.

You're one search away from your first lesson. Jump back to the top, enter your suburb, and see who's available near you.
