School Policy – Class 5 & 7

Students must provide a valid Driver’s License including BC Learners Driver’s License or a foreign driver’s license before the first lesson. Students must carry their license at all times during training.

Road tests can be booked either by the student or by BC New Drivers Driving School. The student must sign the consent and release form before BC New Drivers Driving School can book a road test on their behalf.

Payment must be made in full at the beginning of each driving lesson, ICBC Road Test service, or selected driving package. Any refund is processed to the person who made the payment.

Car Rental for Road Test

 Car rental includes 30 minute warm up: $130

If any accident happened during the road test, the student is responsible for paying for any damage costs, a full compensation should be paid to BC New Drivers Driving School.

** If the client requesting a car rental is not a student of BC New Drivers Driving School, a minimal one hour driving skills assessment will be required. This will be charged at our regular hourly rate. **
Prices include 5% GST

Refund Policy

There will be no refunds for driving lessons or road test sessions that have been registered. However, they can be postponed. If the student has prepaid for a driving package and is not satisfied with the instructions received during first lesson, a refund for the unused lessons will be applied, but this first lesson will be considered as a single lesson for the amount of $70/lesson. No refund will be applied if more than 50% of the lessons from the prepaid package have already taken place.

Additional Passengers

There will be a maximum of 3 people (including instructor and student) in the driving school vehicle during the student’s lesson time for the purpose of observation.

Cancellations

Lessons must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged for the lesson. Cancelations must be done by e-mail, phone or text.

If the student does not show for a lesson they will be charged for that lesson.

To cancel a road test appointment made by BC New Drivers Driving School, we require 72 hours notice, as we must notify ICBC. Failure to give BC New Drivers Driving School sufficient notice may result in the student having to pay the ICBC Road Test Cancellation Fee of $25.

Single Driving Lesson Rates

$70 for a one hour lesson.

$100 for a one and half hour lesson

Each driving lesson is 60 or 90 minutes, with a minimal of 40 or 70 minutes practice time.
