At LicencePlus, 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.

LicencePlus 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LicencePlus 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 1,000 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. Unlike a traditional driving school, EzLicence allows you to:

• 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.

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.
