“Martin is a fantastic driving instructor! His attention to detail and calm approach assisted me greatly in obtaining my drivers licence. Martin is patient and gives easy to follow instructions, if I ever made a mistake he would explain to me exactly what I had done wrong, how it could potentially impact other road users, and how to fix it. I 100% would not have been able to obtain my drivers licence without Martin as my driving instructor. If you are looking for someone who is very knowledgeable, and will ensure that you have no bad driving habits come test day, look no further! Thanks again for all of your help Martin, I will really miss our lessons and chats - Shaye”

“One of the best driving instructors in Sydney. Charlie has a wealth of knowledge and has extraordinary people skills. At first, I was scared to even sit in the car. However, after 10 minutes with Charlie, my confidence grew, and I began loving driving. If you want to learn how to drive safely, efficiently and have a whole bunch of fun while doing it. Look no further, you have Charlie. ”

Test Package prices are set by each instructor, so the cost can vary depending on who you book with. No matter who you choose, every Test Package includes:
Pick-up from your chosen location
Some instructors offer the Test Package as a standalone option, while others may require you to have had at least one lesson with them first.
👉 Check out available instructors near you and lock in your spot for test day.
Note: Test Packages are available in most states, but not currently offered in ACT, SA or TAS. Our test package books the instructor & vehicle only, so you need to book your driving test with your local roads authority.
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.
Definitely - and it’s a great way to speed things up..
If you're learning in NSW, QLD & ACT, every 1 hour of structured driving lessons booked through EzLicence counts as 3 logbook hours (up to a bonus of 30 hours for 10 lessons). After that, each lesson still counts, just at a 1:1 rate.
Note that night lessons (between sunset and sunrise) work a little differently — only 1 hour can count towards your night hours, with the other 2 hours going towards your daytime total.
In Tasmania, each 1-hour lesson gives you 2 logbook hours, up to a max of 20 hours from 10 lessons.

Sitting your Driving Knowledge test can be nerve-wracking, and thousands of Australians get caught out by the same tricky questions each year. But how many of us, even as experienced drivers, would still pass if we had to take the test today? To find out which questions cause the most trouble, and how results differ across states and territories, we analysed data from thousands of practice theory tests completed on the EzLicence platform. The findings show the most common learner mistakes - and might just inspire experienced drivers to test themselves too.
With Australia's average pass rate for driving tests at 62%, it's no wonder that so many first-time test takers are wondering about the secrets to passing. To help you drive safely and put your best foot forward come test day, we have created this comprehensive guide. We will cover the common mistakes drivers make during the test, how to best go about test preparation, and provide you with expert tips from licensed professionals.
EzLicence is an Australian-first platform connecting learners to the country's largest network of independent, accredited driving instructors. Not a school, not a call centre, simply the easiest way to find an instructor you'll love learning with.

Enjoy a seamless, flexible, and convenient way to book and manage your driving lessons with EzLicence.
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.
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.
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.
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.
