Drive Perth vs Driving School WA vs EzLicence: Who Offers the Best Driving Lessons in Perth?
Last updated 15 Jan 2026

Getting your driver’s licence in Perth can feel overwhelming - especially when you’re juggling school, work, or family commitments. The right instructor (and the right booking setup) can make the whole experience smoother.
Traditional providers like Drive Perth and Driving School WA have been around for years, but their lessons are often expensive and rigid. EzLicence takes a different approach: a booking platform that connects elarenrs with verified instructors, with online booking tools designed to give learners more choice and control.
Here’s how the three compare on Perth driving lessons and prices.

Why Perth Learners Choose EzLicence
1. Pricing That’s Easier to Compare
EzLicence lessons start from just $63/hr, making them some of the most affordable in Perth. Prices are clearly listed on instructor profiles, so you’ll always know what you’re paying.
By contrast:
- Drive Perth charges $75/hr for automatic and a steep $100/hr for manual.
- Driving School WA lessons range from $95–$160/hr, offering a range of lesson and package prices which can vary depending on the option selected.
EzLicence’s approach gives learners visibility across multiple instructors, rather than locking them into a single pricing structure.
2. More Instructor Choice
EzLicence connects learners with 170+ verified instructors, each with a public profile showing:
- Ratings and reviews
- Experience and qualifications
- Car details (manual/automatic)
- Languages spoken
This means you can find an instructor who fits your learning style and personality.
By contrast:
- Drive Perth does not publish a public directory of individual instructors.
- Driving School WA highlights its instructors, but detailed public profiles are limited.
With EzLicence, you’re never stuck - and you can switch instructors easily if needed.
3. Flexible, Online Booking
EzLicence gives you 24/7 online booking and instant rescheduling, so you can fit lessons around work, school, or family.
By contrast:
- Drive Perth primarily relies on phone-based enquiries and bookings.
- Driving School WA offers online booking, but cancellation rules are stricter, with changes requiring at least 2 business days.
EzLicence adapts to your schedule, not the other way around.
4. Personalised Learning
With EzLicence, you can filter by manual/automatic, gender, language, and teaching style. Every instructor has their own approach, and you can choose the one that works best for you.
By contrast:
- Drive Perth follows a structured approach, using its own digital teaching aids.
- Driving School WA offers predefined lesson packages, which may suit learners looking for a set format.
EzLicence is designed to support different learning preferences rather than a single approach.
5. Peace of Mind with Refunds & Reviews
EzLicence gives you full confidence with:
- Hassle-free refunds if you’re not happy
- 4.9★ average Google rating across thousands of learners
- The ability to switch instructors anytime
By contrast:
- Drive Perth publishes a first-lesson satisfaction guarantee and cancellation notice requirements.
- Driving School WA outlines cancellation and refund terms in its policies, including fees in some cases.
EzLicence keeps the focus on your success, not locking you in.
6. Wide Coverage, Local Convenience
EzLicence has instructors available in every Perth suburb and beyond. Whether you’re in Joondalup, Canning Vale, Rockingham, or central Perth, you’ll find a local match.
By contrast:
- Drive Perth covers metro and suburbs but availability can be limited.
- Driving School WA focuses mainly on metro testing centres, restricting choice if you’re outside those areas.
With EzLicence, you’ll always have options nearby.
