Encourages Parent Involvement

Parents feel free to give us a call to discuss your requirements.

Remember to achieve your 120 logbook hours, you need to start early.

We suggest starting with our New Learners Starters Package 5 lessons (Please check pricing page for details) to get you on the right track.

We believe that together we can get the best possible results.

What’s the different between Vanson Driving School and our opposition.

We normally only do 5 lessons each per day, we are independent operator who run our own business relying on word of mouth referrals as opposed to those large companies who employ sub contractors and who do up to 10 lessons per day.

Just imagine if your child was the 10th lesson for the day.

What type of service would you prefer.

BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR DRIVE TEST; please check with us if we are available for the day of your drive test.
