Should you get refresher driving lessons?

If you’re not consistently using it, you can lose any skill - even the ability to drive safely. Losing confidence or skill is not something to be ashamed of, it’s become easier to get around in Australian cities and you may only need to drive every so often. It can be dangerous though if you develop bad driving habits or forget safe driving manoeuvres.

Whether you’ve spent some time without your license or you’re just looking for a skill and confidence boost, refresher driving lessons can help you get back up to speed.

Are your driving skills in need of a boost?

Driving lessons are not just for new learners. Driving lessons can be booked by anyone who believes they are in need of a skill or confidence boost.


 Haven’t driven regularly for a while?

You may have your driver’s licence but not have been driving regularly for quite some time. If your skills and confidence are in need of a boost, then refresher driving lessons can help you get back up to speed.


 Driving in a new city?

You may be a confident and experienced driver who has recently moved to a new location. You may need to improve your confidence and awareness driving on a different side of the road, or maybe the unfamiliar road rules and conditions have dented your confidence.


 Want to learn to drive a manual?

You may have bought a manual car or are now required to drive one for your employment. Refresher driving lessons can help experienced drivers learn to drive and build confidence in a manual transmission car.


 Have you lost your licence?

If you’ve lost your licence in the past and you’re just getting back on the road, then refresher driving lessons with a professional instructor will help you bridge knowledge or skill gaps that may have developed in that time.


 Have you been racking up fines or demerit points?

If you find that you’ve been getting stung with driving fines or demerit points regularly (for example speeding, parking incorrectly, or failure to give way) then correcting your driving skills with refresher driving lessons could help you get yourself back on track to saving your money.


 Have you reached the age of 75 or 85?

If you’re a senior driver aged 75 or over then you are required by law to prove your medical fitness if you wish to retain your full unrestricted licence. Drivers aged 75 and over are required to have a yearly medical assessment, while drivers aged 85 and over are required to have a yearly medical assessment and also pass an on-road driving assessment every two years.

Top Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I Need to Provide My Own Car For Driving Lessons or Do You Provide a Vehicle?

    If you would prefer to learn in your own vehicle, you can choose to do so, provided that you are a competent driver and your vehicle is roadworthy, clean, and registered. You may also opt to use the driving instructor’s vehicle, an instructional vehicle with dual controls for added safety, at no extra cost.


     

  • 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.

  • What if There Are No Available Driving Instructors in My Area?

    If your search comes up with no results, it is because there are no driving instructors who are currently willing or able to service the area of your chosen pick-up location. Simply enter an alternate location that is convenient for you and search again.

  • Can I Take Refresher Driving Lessons?

    Of course! Many existing driver’s licence holders book driving lessons to refresh their skills or build up some more confidence, especially if they have spent some time not driving. We recommend about 3 to 5 hours of driving instruction in cases like this.

  • Can I Change Instructors?

    Absolutely. At EzLicence, we know that having a rapport with your driving instructor makes for a more comfortable – and therefore effective – learning experience. If you want to book a lesson with another driving instructor, just follow the same steps. From your dashboard select 'find another instructor' and then choose the instructor you'd like. Check their availability and book online. Take your driving lesson. It's that simple.

  • Is EzLicence a Driving School?

    EzLicence is like a driving school only better, allowing you to access the services of a driving school with market leading convenience, choice and flexibility.

    EzLicence has partnered with over 350 driving schools across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to create a single destination for learner drivers to view, compare and book driving instructors online 24/7.

    • Find and compare a large range of driving instructors in your area.

    • Choose your own instructor based on comprehensive profile information, including ratings and reviews.

    • View each driving instructor’s real-time availability and make online bookings straight into their calendar.

    • Change your driving instructor selection online anytime.

    • Manage existing bookings (reschedule/cancel) and make new bookings online

    Each of our driving instructors are independent and operating their own driving school.

     

  • Can I Book Driving Lessons to Learn How to Drive Manual?

    Absolutely.  Driving a manual transmission vehicle is becoming less and less common, but it’s not yet a “lost art”. Whether you are learning manual to be more versatile or because it’s a more engaging (and fun) drive, we recommend booking 3 to 5 hours of driving instruction to start.
